OMG turn off your data and everything that uses it , I had unlimited calling but every once in a while they would charge me for data that I never used got rid of that one , LOL

Well, at least this time, Florida man was not inventing new ways to break the law.
My ATT service informed me that I automatically went into overseas mode when I used the phone in Mexico. I believe that the overseas service is $100 per month (but I may be mistaken). In any case, it seems that ATT looks after its customers who forget to sign up for the overseas service before they leave.
He was probably only paying for 5gb of data. He should have set up his phone to let him know when he was reaching his data limit. But T-Mobile could have looked to see how much data he typically uses on a monthly basis and warned him or upgraded his plan.
This sounds like gotcha stuff to me.
I’d probably lose, because of contractual law, but I’d probably sue T-Mobile to find out how much they actually had to pay out in costs on these roaming charges.
I use T Mobile overseas frequently. My plan is unlimited data roaming and text messaging.
The phone calls will cost you. I even used data and text in Afghanistan with no extra fees.
dont worry- biden will forgive his debt
Roaming is expensive. Try doing it on a ship. You’ll get a big bill (unless you buy their plan). Another freeloader. Guess they will be raising rate to cover these idiots.
So they send him an insane bill which they confirm is legit which prompts the customer to begin legal action and then involves media and then the whole bill is erased as if it never existed. The takeaway from this is a warning to others to be careful when away from home with smart phones and other devices.
I went to Nova Scotia one time, and got a notice that I had incurred thousands of dollars of charges. I nearly had a stroke.
People who think “Oh, this is the stupidity of the user” have their heads so far inside their cell phone asses to think everyone else has the same level of stupid cell phone usage ingrained in them.
The customer rep was correct. That is what the guy owed.
“We contacted T-Mobile’s corporate offices. Days later, someone from the carrier called Remund and offered to credit his account for the entire amount.”
Hopefully he still has to pay his legal bills as it’s not the fault of him trying to save money with a domestic plan, but then abusing it on overseas travel.
Something missing. Switzerland in included I the overseas program for most plans. Free internet (slow), free texting. Calls are 15 cents per minute.
My wife has sent hundreds and hundreds of photos from many countries at no charge.
When entering another country we get an automated message from T-Mobile informing us what our freebies are.
For $50 you can get 30 days of free calls and high speed internet.
I know everyone hates Google, but the Google Fi cell phone service would have charged them a maximum of $95 for 9.5GB of data. They also have an unlimited plan, but the pay as you go plan costs $10 per GByte. I cruise a lot so that’s what I use.
“Rene said he never gave a second thought to the pictures and messages he was sending during their time away.”
I think I have spotted the problem.
Never go by verbal assurances. Check the terms in your written sales purchase or contract. Get specifics just what does “You’re covered.” mean. GET IT IN WRITING!
