All these cellphone/ipad/ipod/remote access providers have very tricky contracts that nobody has time to read or the capability of understanding.

Ya might say ya have to sign the contract to find out what's in it.

Very Happy

Fla. Woman Shocked by $200,000 Cell Phone BillBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

(AP) — A South Florida woman got a shock when she opened a recent cell phone bill: she owed $201,000.

It was no mistake.

Celina Aarons has her two deaf-mute brothers on her plan. They communicate by texting and use their phones to watch videos. Normally, that's not a problem. Aarons has the appropriate data plan and her bill is about $175.

But her brothers spent two weeks in Canada and Aarons never changed to an international plan. Her brothers sent over 2,000 texts and also downloaded videos, sometimes racking up $2,000 in data charges.

T-Mobile told Aarons the bill was correct. She called Miami TV station WSVN, which contacted T-Mobile. The station reports (http://bit.ly/qTMjTw ) that

T-Mobile cut Aarons' bill to $2,500 and gave her six months to pay.
