By sprint it would be something like $2.05 or whatever the taxes are.

Back on the day the Nextel bill for my father's office was $80k+. The bill was about an inch thick.

The bill was reduced to $2500.00 and she was given 6 months to pay.

Pretty nice of T-Mobile.

+1 impressive.
They are probably suffering a loss since they have to pay the Canadians (or not).

What I wonder is if its a pure PR move why didn't the just cancel the bill out... whats 2,500 out of 200,000?

sorry i meant they should have made her pay the bill
it was in the contract that she would be charged roaming and she was why does she deserve a break if it was her fault that the bill was so much

No one necessarily said she DESERVED one... but I'd want one if it happened to me by accident.

the real question is why the media got involved and reported on it on tv. why is this a story? so she got a big bill after she used her phone in roaming they should have said sorry but thats not news

Really? Considering they'd report on a kitty stuck in a tree, I'd say you must not watch the news very often.

...and I was commenting on the fact that you've either be TV-less for a considerable time, or have been fortunate enough to stay away from the nightly news.
