Kevin, nice post--and you're right, it's so hard to imagine what it was like for Estarija to get that $21,000-plus phone bill. Talk about shock! And the human-factor here continues to his son, who is apparently taking the predicament very hard. So for the sake of minimizing these sorts of situations, I wanted to respond to you by mentioning that I work in the consumer advocacy division of the Houston-based company Validas, where we electronically audit and subsequently reduce the average cell bill by 22 percent through our website, http://www.fixmycellbill.com (and I'll add that 22 percent equates to over $450 per year for the average user).
You can find out for free if fixmycellbill.com can modify your plan to better suit your individual needs by going to the website. Check out Validas in the media, most recently on Fox News at http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/consumer/conlaw/lower_cell_phone_bills_072409 .
Good luck to everyone reading on retaking control over your wireless expenses and potentially freeing up some extra cash this holiday season. These kinds of situations are avoidable!
