Texting and cell phones

Used Cell Phone: free to us

Ring tones: free to us because of blue tooth

Normal Alltel bill: $160.00ish

Estimated Alltel Bill after MM goes over 1000 Txts: $780.00

Happiness of your 14 year old: Priceless (NOT)

You read it right folks, she went over the 1000 texts. Alltel says she went over by 3800 texts. Alltel gives you a courtesy call when someone goes over the minutes/text. Our main line is Tim's cell so he gets the call.
Alltel: Mr. Butler this is Alltel, we would like to inform you that one of your phones have gone over their minutes.
Tim: Hold on, I do not handle the cell phone stuff, talk to my brother, he knows more.
Jason: What's wrong? (Im not sure that's a direct quote)
Alltel: The cell phone with the number !@#$%$%^&*(*&^%$ has gone over the texting by 3800 at .25 each.
Jason:!#$%^^&*&&^ Hold on.
Dialing Kaye
Jason: Do you know MM has gone over her texting by 3800 texts?
Me: No. I thought she had unlimited text (Im thinking I might have been wrong)
Jason: No, she only has 1000 text
Me: Oh. My bad ( not my directed quote but sounds good)
Jason: I'm going to set her up with unlimited text for 20 bucks today is that okay?
Me: Yep
Jason: They'll make it retroactive so your bill won't be high
Me: Great
Hang up. ... check
Call refill my blood pressure meds...check
Have heart attack...check


other cell phone drama will be provided as soon as my best friend sends me the photo I need...Dianna you know what I want.

We went over ours too...BAD during the time Kaleb was at Childrens...thank goodness for bribery! "Just sign up to make your bill $20/month more and we'll take away the charges this time!" LOL! I'm waiting for the day Karleigh thinks she needs a phone! UGH!
