i've had a couple of people with bills in the 2 and 3k range. because for some reason people think they can get on a 39.99 familytalk plan with someone and stay within 450 mins. for some people that plan works but not for most people

my highest bill was for

$24 678 for calling internationally to Egypt. At 3.59 cents per minute, this guy used 17 000 dollars in long distance, and 6000 in extra airtime. This guy was doing 3 way calling to two different egypt numbers. Heck fraud called him nearly every day, and he kept on saying he was using the phone, and then on the last day of the cycle, fruad added on international dialing package, which dropped it to 35 cents or something...


Lets just say, I had to tell the guy whose bill was normally 100 dollars that he owes 25K and there is nothing we can do, and no rez would even take the call ( they all refused.. even my TL)

when my call ended, he sounded like he was going to kill himself, I was surprised not to hear abou...
