Verizon Trying to Screw Me
Just got my verizon land line bill. Surprise!!!!. My son made calls to his girlfriend traveling in Spain. For whatever reason, he thought he could call her cell phone and there would be no charge. Verizon thought differently. They charged about $3.00 per minute. The bill is close to $1000. I know, I should beat him senselessly, especially when I told him not to call.
I would have got a phone card. The verizon internt'l plan I could have is $4 a month and about $.10/minute.
We are negotiating and they have come down to about half. I want to hold out and pay a fair rate of about $.30/minute. We are claiming that we never authorized long distance calls to be allowed.
Any suggestions for leverage or negotiating points? I realize they have the resources, but someone out there must know where the donkey pictures are hidden.
