For the Love of Canada

Holy smokes.

Nothing like opening up your cell phone bill and getting a bracing slap across the face. So, most of you know, I traveled to Canada in Dec./Jan. (and LOVED! it, by the way). That actually deserves a blog post all of its own, doesn't it? Okay....I'll come back to that.

Conveniently, once I crossed the border, I received a message on my phone telling me to turn off my data roaming so as to avoid international roaming charges. Being the ever-obedient consumer (heh. Okay, I'm just cheap) I did as told.

Or...I thought I did as told. Yes, I turned it on intermittently, just to send a text or check a weather report. In hind sight, no need for that. "Just plain cold" was the forecast the whole time!

Lo and behold, I got this in the mail the other day.










Bracing, eh? After the shock wore off (a good 3 seconds) I started laughing. They couldn't possibly be serious, could they?? *shakes head*

Let's hope not! I'm waiting for a return call from the customer service department now. The agent I spoke with assured me that it appeared to be a case of "accidentally got bumped in the pocket." Let's hope her superiors are as wise as she.

I'll keep you posted.

I sincerely hope they aren't right! .. particularly since a certain hour long phone call I made from Georgia, cost a mere smidgen of that.

Seriously, which effing button were you pressing though? I'd've wanted to download a good bunch of photos,or particularly good porn for that kind of money!

I know, right??

Instead I got...absolutely nothing! Rip off, I tell you.

Still holding out hope that they'll see the light. Otherwise the much loved, much adored, much revered iPhone might just fly out the window!!
