so what caused the large bill?




reminds me of the youtube vid where the guy calls the pone company because his bill had a math mistake.  they quoted him .02 cents (or $0.0002) per unit of data but charged him $0.02 (100 times the quoted rate).  he couldn't get them to understand the differents beween .02 cents and .02 dollars.

2/10 or two tenths of a cent = .0002 cents

2/10 or two tenths of a dollar = .02 cents

here is what you are thinking of... http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-dollars-from-cents.html

Discussion ForumsJump to Quoted PostQuote History

Here's the background:

I have a Verizon unlimited data plan in the U.S. and recently crossed the border to Canada. Prior to crossing the border I called customer service to find out what rates I'd be paying for voice and data. The data rate I was quoted was ".002 cents per kilobyte."

I was surprised at the rate so I confirmed it with the representative I spoke to, and she confirmed it "point zero zero two cents per kilobyte." I asked her to note that in my account.

I received my bill and was charged $.002/KB - which is dollars - "point zero zero 2 dollars per kilobyte". As it is translated to cents would be .2 cents or 2 tenths of a cent - which is a 100 times greater rate than I was quoted.

My bill for my data usage in Canada was therefore much greater than I had expected - using the quote I was provided before my usage.

I have tried to resolve this issue with customer service reps on the phone, but noone seems to see the difference between ".002 cents" and ".002 dollars".

Here is the audio of my most recent call with them on the matter. I started recording when they put on the supoervisor - I was a bit ticked at that point.

Who knew what confusion "$1 = 100 cents" could cause?

I'm still currently on the hook for the $71 and change. Hopefully someone at Verizon will figure this out and make ammends.

I hope he was able to bicycle out of that .  That was eerily similar to my third jump in airborne school.  I was the first jumper on my chalk, had twists in my risers, bicycled to correct, and then got skyskarked.

I think he realizes that, and just represented it for the punchline.
