So, my dad just called me saying he got the bill in the mail from Verizon...second month in a row with a bill $50 higher than it normally is.
Last month, I moved, and was without internet(a means to communicate with people)...so I used Mobile IM, thinking that it would only run off my basic texting plan....WRONG, $50 bill for data usage.
So...THIS time around...
I get another similar sized overage.
When I first got my plan(back in September), the people at Verizon lied to me, saying "This plan(for $5 a month) gives you UNLIMITED VZW-VZW, and 250 out-of-networks texts, sent+received."
Also, apparently accessing Get-it-Now charges the $3/MB, even if you don't do anything...sure the 10min game demo is free, but not GETTING to it.
I call them today, as to seeing why my bill was high...
They claim the $5 plan is "for 250 texts to ANY NETWORK, and that UNLIMITED VZW-VWZ+500 out-of-network texts would be an ADDITIONAL $5 a month".
So, my texting plan is gone(as expected).
Would I be wrong to file a complaint to the head of a Verizon retailer(Rt.17, Paramus, where I activated my previous phone, the EnV)?
Should I just go back to one of my back-up phones(LG 8300, Moto E815)?
Has anyone experienced things similar to this?
