So, I've received a phone bill for around $700. Yikes. Its for Charity and I's cell phones. Work (thankfully) bases for my base plan (though not Charity's). But, $700 is far over the $50 or so a month I usually see in bills. How in the world was my bill so high? First, they charged me $0.45/min. I went over my base limit. Seems a little bit like highway robbery, but I guess I probably signed a contract sometime, somewhere saying I was willing to pay that amount. Secondly, several major life events occurred which caused me to be on the phone constantly. First was the issues with our apartment, second was the purchase of our new home (calls to inspectors, real estate agents, and loan officers), and finally were some difficulties with equipment at work which led to extremely long and frequent phone calls. So now I have to break it all down and see what is my responsibility to pay and what is works. I am hoping that most of the minutes will be work's, though I know this is not the case. Ohh well, live and learn aye?
