Careful what you download. A California 13-year-old is in a little trouble after running up a Verizon Wireless bill of almost $22,000. Ted Estarija’s son downloaded 1.4 million kilobytes of information last month, which totaled up to $21,917 in charges.
The cell plan did not cover data usage, so downloads were charged by the megabyte. Estarija has suspended his son’s account. Verizon is not enforcing the charges.
last thing you wanna buy that kid is an iPad.
you’re in trouble
WHOA……. thats weird. What did he DOWNLOAD?!?
WHAT THE!! WHAT DID HE EVEN DOWNLOAD??!!!!=)
WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!! thats pretty darn impressive. but why is the picture an iPhone when it says the kid was on Verizon??
Mabe he had a i phone from verizon. | :
that’s not really alot… i’ve done triple that damage. the only reason that you haven’t heard of it is cause my parents paid verizon to keep it quiet…
Dang that is CRAZY!!!
who would even use that many apps?? The most I would download is maybe 10!
what the heck was that kid thinking?!!!!!
Maybe he thought money was a fake joke! Lol!
Why did he download that much?
were did he get the time to do that?
sneezy, AT&T lies. they were nice anough to let the cell bill go.
(Verison rules!!!)
Of course they were nice enough. I was just showing the competition between these companies.
wow iF i ever did that i would get Killed
Comcast:Verizon gives you big bills but lowers them if you beg, that’s why you should switch.
AT&T:Rmember the kid who downloaded 22K bill off verizon? That’s why you should switch to AT&T the nations fastest 3G network.
I wonder if I will see advertisments like that?
dude, whats wrong with you?
To: sneezy
THE BOY WASN’T THINKING STRAIT
!
wow if i was the parent i would kill him
Of course he got all those downloads but was the kid thinking
money wise? Of course downloads can’t be that cheap or free
that is crazy!
I wonder if the kid thought that all the downloads were free. Not the smartest kid ever, huh?
this kid likes phone apps
that nearley happend to me
Wow, im 13 and the highest my parents had to pay was $60 for my bill.
I’m 13 and I don’t even own a phone. If I did, I would only download free stuff. FREE STUFF RULES!
Yep!
I really can’t believe that!
His parents didn’t notice all of these downloads? Parents should keep a little tighter leash on there kids.
ouch. That would be a problem. It was nice of Verizon to drop the charges.
Better not tell my dad. If he hears this, he won’t let me get a cell phone.
This guy must have been really busted.
I’ve heard of a 16K (I think) bill for a football game phone download.
Wow. I wonder how he cuold do all that!
holy cow!
aw man that stinks that he got all that
