From now on, if my bill is more expensive than I feel it should be, I'm just going to phone Telus and say "But what about the Alanna Fero thing, you guys tried to lower her bill, why not mine?"

dhilon, your logic on responsibility is spot on. The points you make are not just good, but it's the way it should be. People do need to take care of their shit. I praise you for that..

With that said, please, shut up, I'm trying very hard to not call you a cock gobbler.

I'm in the states, and in Chicago we don't have Telus, but get fucking real, $37,000 is an expensive ammount to charge anyone.

"oh but it's a business" shut up. It's a bunch of people providing a fucking service that has no fucking resource. These faggots charge people 20 cents per text over here and the cost of actually sending 1 text is actually 1/100000000 of a penny. A PENNY!
It's free basically.. and it's not a resource. It's not like they can run out of it.
It's just a way for them to , as you so your self said, fuck somebody over in order to get ahead.

I'm so fucking pissed at people that think that for a business to survive they have to fuck everyone else over. Guess what, that is the mentality of EVERY business in America.... and it is why 1% of the faggots in the US control 99% of the money . I'm not sure on that % but it's somewhere around the 90's

"but that's capitalism" shut up. That isn't capitalism, that is a recipe for revolt. Unhappy population and the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer.

Look at for example Wisconsin. I don't know if you've seen it but their government is fucking over teachers big time, and the part that pisses me off the most is these news pundits who claim "omg these teachers are making over 50k a year and they get benefits too!, that is SO MUCH!"
But those fucking assholes in the banking business can get 500,000k a year and the same news analysts or reporters or whatever the fuck they are will fucking claim that taxing the wealthy (1%) is going to fuck EVERYONE over.

So.. why the rant? Because I'm sick and TIRED of these money hungry cocksuckers leeching everything out of everyone. You can call it good business, I will call it what it really is.. a fucking precedent for an uprising.
I really wish every bank would burn to the ground, these oil companies go bankrupt and lose all their money and that companies like Telus and etc all fucking die horrible deaths. These assholes watch as people starve and yet they keep 97% of their billions collecting fucking dust.

Die greedy faggots, die. This is the reason I LOVE Julian Assange and what he's doing . I hope bank of america falls too and all these lies people have been fed get exposed.

Did she really need to have her phone on the whole trip. Are people really joined at the hip to their phone. I mean come on, you're out of the country. If you really need the phone, leave the data off...it's not like you need to get every bloody e-mail, tweet and update your facebook page every minute.

is there an article or something that shows foreign carriers actually charge our carriers such exorbitant amounts for roaming data (and that it's not telus' fault)? sounds kinda draconian to me in this day and age. it's the 21st century for christ's sake

If she did call and ask what plan to use, then Telus is to blame.

My GF did the same when we traveled to the US recently. Called Rogers and asked what she needed to do this time, cause the previous trip she called and asked yet, was supposed to have been put on a plan, yet then got a $500 bill.

These companies suck. Once your bill reaches $200 they should be notifying you that something is wrong so you can change it.

To address all those who say we should be smarter: my CC company calls me when my monthly bill is more than normal to make sure everything is alright, and they cap me at $12K so I don't go crazy and spend $37K in a month. Why can a CC company figure this out yet major telecom companies cannot?

Even after factoring these things in the average call or text costs providers 1000s of a penny, while they charge us a dime. He has a point, despite the rest of his stupid rant.

Read my CC post first and realize I didn't respond to the rest of your posts cause I agree with most of it.

I do not agree with this part. What is happening in Wisconsin is fan-fucking-tastic. Similar measures are occurring in 10 other states and I hope it catches on and comes here. Public unions are paid too much and need to have their benefits and bargaining power rolled back.

Bankers earning $Ms is a problem too, yet please pick a problem to focus on, don't mask one problem to look at another.

Yet this is all wayyyyyy off topic. If you want to discuss what is happening in Wisconsin create a thread for it.

I didn't forget that. Companies need and SHOULD be always making profits.
But they shouldn't be making these profits by fucking you and me up the ass.
Profits should come from an honest way of doing business and this is CRITICAL to the business and the people it services because it reflects the quality of the business and the value of the services it provides.
If a business is giving you shit, diarrhea, cock and ass juice, OF COURSE they will need to fuck you in the ass in order to get by, but if what they're giving you is truly good and worth a god damn thing, they will make that money regardless and will have no problem with profits.

not even considering roaming charges, robellus rapes you in the ass for tethering charges and ppu data charges if your plan isn't compatible. Yes people should be punished, but how about capping the charges at a reasonable amount? How about calling their customers the second they notice unusual activity on their account based on their usage history?

There have been many stories about idiots getting 30k, 50k, even 80k phone bills just for tethering when they weren't supposed to. That's fucked up when a phone bill costs more than a fuckin car.

The telcos are so inhuman that they are willing to ruin people's lives over a ridiculous phone bill where the costs for the service they provide is a fraction of the bill? That's just sickening. Then they try to act like they're the nice guys and "negotiate" the price from $50k down to $3k. What a joke. Why it's legal to charge rates like this beyond me.
