>$10,000 Phone Bil from AT&T

[IBBugsy]

Just a heads up to those with cell phones on AT&T. My daughter got a $10,000+ bill this month. It turned out to be a billing glitch due to AT&T switching to a new billing system halfway through September. The billing mistakes where on data transfers, which I think is internet use? She had unlimited internet but it started charging her for it.

Though I'm sure people will notice a $10,000 bill, if they only hit your account for an extra $10 or $20, you might not notice unless you pay attention.

Wow -- imagine if you had an automatic payment feature set up for that... they'd probably try to withdraw the bill amount automatically from your account!

That's why the only auto payment I have for checking is the mortage. The bank also has my checking account so it makes sense to. I do some auto pays but those are to a CC, not my checking account.

Thanks for the tip. We don't use AT&T, but I'm sure someone else does.

Got my bill today. I have voice, data, international roaming, the whole shootin' match. It was clean.
