A 13 year girl from Cheyenne, WY sent 10,000 text messages and received about the same number in one month. The thing is her parents did not have a text messaging plan, so the bill they received was.... $4,756.25 for one month! Well the daughter's cell phone met the hammer when her father saw the bill and is now in many pieces.
Plus this girl was texting when she was in school and suppose to be listening to her teachers. Her grades had gone from A's and B's to F's. Now with no cell phone her grades have already gone back up.
The consequence of her actions - 1. Her cell phone is in many pieces as mentioned. 2. She is grounded for the rest of the school year. The daughter said she learned her lesson.
Her parents are asking the school to toughen up on their cell phone policy.
The bill - Verizon graciously lowered the bill to a more reasonable level. What that reasonable level is we are not sure, but it is not $4,756.
