$31,000 Keep On Talking Cell Plan

When I receive my Cingular cellular bill, I use to go ga-ga over $40.00 dollars of excessive talk charges, let alone those months when the bill exceeded $500.00.

But in Sarasota, Florida: "Oliver DeSofi's normal cell phone bill is about $150 on a family plan, and he used about 183 minutes on his phone in October.



But when the 77-year-old retiree opened his Cingular Wireless bill in November, he saw $21,420 in roaming charges for more than 4,500 calls from Nicaragua -- where he's never been -- to numbers he's never called."
