Bitch, Rant, Complain...
V2...
OK so yesterday evening I get a call on my Blackberry from the phone service provider, to warn me that my phone bill was really really expensive due to high internet usage (charged per minute)... So I am really confused, they had a special promotion tied-in to the phone, flat rate of usage for about $35 a month, but now they want to charge me over $300! Turns out they revoked that promotion and there was a warning in my last phone bill... I never really look at the other pages, they're all advertisements in Thai anyway, so I am trying to find the bill today. I realize I am in the wrong, since they did give a warning, but there's no way I'm gonna pay that much for the same service! What do you all think? Suck it up or fight it?

Do you speak thai as a fluent language? do they know. if its in thai and not in your native tongue(assuming english) you may be able to fight it saying that you don't understand what it said. but either way see if you can't get some of it knocked off

I can speak Thai decently and can decypher the writing (far from actually understanding it ), so this is what I will try to do...

I think you should fight it! Keep sending them smelly French cheese until they agree to give you a pass on the $300. Just a thought.

If I were you Thomas, I'd fight it! You being a foreigner has its disadvantages, the advertisements are strewn together with your phone bill?? What the hell is that? How would you have known there was a warning letter in there if it was mixed in with all that madness?

Fight it--- usually companies here in the states will be understanding. I call sprint about my bill maybe once a month and usually get results

well I am royally screwed...
Turns out the warning was pretty clear in the bill, but... I never opened the damn envelope... must have been kinda busy that day, and since it's a flat rate I didn't bother to check... And the worst thing is... The $300 is for this month *so far*. The bill for October which I just received comes up to... wait for it... wait for it.... 65,000 Baht which is just about US$1,800... That's some of the world's most expensive emails I have sent! So yeah, I am clearly in the wrong here, gonna have to meet up with one of the service managers to try and appeal it.. After all I've been using exactly the same service as before, just billed very differently...

yeah... on the bright side it has brought me to thinking... do I really need this device? sure, it's pretty useful, I like to be online at all times, but it's not really bringing me any benefits

Well, I use my berry all the time, but I guess that if you only use it for being online... With prices being as high as they are...
OTOH, you could always sell your 8800 and get a 8820 (with WiFi) and get online for free!
