This morning I am setting here drinking my coffee and going over the phone bill as I always do. And as always I am amazed at the charges that pop up on here that I have no idea what they are talking about.I set up the account to have unlimited talk and text...Sherri does a lot of that. The reason being I don't like to go through all the minutes etc on the bill to figure out what is going on.
So on this months phone bill I get this one charge for $26.00 @ $.40 a minute for phone calls??? Now if I was the kind of guy that just pays the bill I would probably just have paid it and gone on. But this one line item caught my eye and I started checking out the entire bill. Which in this case brought up several other items that did not seem right.
Soon I was on the phone to AT&T getting a run down on all the extras on my bill. Sure nuff...non of these charges should have been on there! Of course the person I talk to is from some foreign land and it is like talking to someone that has a mouth full of potatoes. Don't you just get tired of being called Mr Peetmen!! I think they believe if you stay on the line long enough you will just hang up and pay the stupid bill and go away.
You know at the beginning of these phone calls they say they are going to be recording for quality assurance. The real reason they record them is so they can go back at break and play these back for some laughs! "I really had that moron going didn't I", said Rockshod.
I guess my question is how many people just pay these bills without ever questioning them and end up paying in $$$ that they don't even owe? How much money is that in the pockets of AT&T?
I have yet to get a bill from AT&T that is the same as the last months bill. It is almost like it changes with the stock market.
Today is a paint day for Sherri and I hope to spend some time out side doing some projects. I long for the day when I get up my plans are going to the lake and fishing. I have a nice place to stay out there and a boat to fish out of...what more can a guy ask for...

Forget the to-do list and go fishing! The work will be here later. Keep life in balance with work and play. I sound like a fortune cookie message, don't I? hehehe
well that answers one of the questions... You kept the lake place and that's where the RV must be stored.... So go on out there and get us some fish.....
Oooh I used to go round and round with AT&T all the time. Seems they removed a tower in our area and we were no longer a normal connection--instead we were listed as always "roaming" from our own livingroom. Heck.. we didn't change, they did! Turns out the contract says you can only roam like 18% of the time, (connecting to other company towers) and the rest of the time you need to be connected to their towers. I had to call them each month and get them to credit us back on our bills for overcharges for roaming. We didn't roam, we were at home! Finally about half way through our contract, they sent me a letter asking me to NOT be their customer any more! LOL ...
We changed to Verizon and don't have a "roaming" problem any more.
