Verizon charges $60 per month for unlimited data.
Mr. Estarija's bill was $21,917 for one month's use of data.

You want the government to step in and enforce a bill that Verizon has already waived? Or are you still on page 2 and haven't got to the part where Verizon reversed the charges?

Are you an idiot?

No I wouldn't sign up for a bill that is $21,000 a month. No one would but I also wouldn't download 1.5GBs of shit onto my phone without a data plan. If I thought I'd download that much I'd get the unlimited data plan (which this guy didn't)

Now maybe you can wrap your "awesome" brain around this.
With my old Verizon plan I was paying about $45 a month for 400anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends (plus an additonal $5 a month for phone insurance). My text messages then cost me extra because I did not get a texting plan. I had a $150 bill one time due to that so I disabled text messaging on my phone. My bill stayed at $50 a month. Later on I decided to get text messaging back on my phone so I got online and changed my plan and got 450minutes for $40 (plus 5 for insurance) a month plus 250text messages for $5 extra. One day I broke 250 messages from constantly texting my girlfriend while she was back home for the summer. My bill would have cost me much more but I upgraded to 500 text messages AND that included mobile to mobile texting. So my bill went to roughly $55 a month.

Now if I decided to talk for 5,000 minutes and sent 8,000 text messages to random people not with Verizon and I suddenly got a huge fucking bill for it then you'd call me a dumbass for not reading my plan.

Also you should notice that that guy DID NOT pay the $60 a month for unlimited data. He paid $50 for an additional line on a family plan. Did you read that in the 1st post???

And no I don't want the government to step in now. But if Verizon decided to honor the contract then yes the government should force Mr whatever to pay the $21,917 (plus penalties if not paid on time).

But you win. I'm getting rid of text messaging and phone insurance from my verizon plan so I only pay $40 a month. And when I text my IDK BFF Jill and show her the latest and greatest app and then drop my phone in a lake while jamming to some songs I downloaded I'm going to cry because I didn't think that doing all of that would incure extra charges and for me to get a new phone would cost me hundreds of dollars.

Are you just mad at phone companies because you can't get spankovision for your I-phone?
