coasterqueen wrote: Oh no! I went to pick up my cell phone this morning to walk out the door to take Kylie to the sitter and I noticed my phone was on. Kylie must have hit something and the phone was on for 75 minutes!!!!!! She had called my dad, lol. And of course the stupid receptionist didn't release the call, just left the call going. If she would have released it I wouldn't be freaking out I would still have 75 minutes left on my phone.

Great! I only have 150 minutes and it's April 2nd! I have a whole month ahead and each minute after that is 43 cents a minute We don't own a regular lan line phone so this really sucks

I could have swore I had the num lock on it Bummer!

DH thinks I should call the cell phone company and explain. Yeah right, they would laugh at me, wouldn't they?

MommyToAshley replied:
I was going to suggest the same thing as your DH. It is worth a try. The cellular phone business is so competitive that they might actually try to achieve customer satisfaction. Let us know how it goes.

kimberley replied: i don`t think they would laugh at you at all. i am with Telus and their customer service is outstanding. i am sure they would understand. it is definitely worth a try anyway. let us know how it goes.

Jamison'smama replied: I would certainly call--they will probably take the charges off.

maliksmommy replied: I would definately call, the worst that could happen is that they would say no. They are usually fairly understanding, especially if this is the first time you have called about something like this.

Boys r us replied: Oh no!!!!
All I can say is you're going to be in trouble when she's a teenager..if she's already using 75 minutes of your cell time in one phone call

Seriously, hun, I would call the cell company..all they can say is no, right?

Lily replied: Personally, I'd call and try to explain but I don't know if they would buy it. Sorry that happened though! That's not good. Hope you can make it through the month with the time you have left! Hugs!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I would also call, it cant hurt to try. Let us know, if nothing maybe you could find a better minute package....they might have better deals now

jem0622 replied: Doesn't hurt to ask. And maybe you could guilt grandpa into covering some of the cost of overage minutes if you need them? Wink wink.

Boy that stinks. We have a land line phone. And our cell phone is pay as you go. If I lost that many minutes I'd be pretty upset!

coasterqueen replied: Thanks everyone for proving to me that my DH is really not DUMB for suggesting this, lol. I did call and they ARE going to take the minutes of my phone. YIPPEE!!!!!

I really thought they would laugh at me, but they didn't.


Di- I would get a better package, but we are under contract til August I think, so if switch then I have to have another 2 year contract and Dh and I want to get different phones, lol. So we have to keep this one til August.

jen replied: I am glad they gave the minutes back!!! hey next month why don't you just call up your dad and have a 75 minute chat with them and say it miraculously happened again!!! I am surprised as you that I took it off!!! But that is GREAT!!!

A&A'smommy replied: I'm glad you got that straightened out! LOL Kylie is a funny girl!


LOL Jen!!!

jen replied: I have to say that .............. THIS FACE CRACKS ME UP for some reason!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I don't know why!!! but when I see it I always laugh out loud!

chloe&tysmommy replied:

And glad you got your minutes back Karen!! whew

kimberley replied: seeeeeeeeeeee what happens when you speak up?! you get more from work AND get your minutes back! you're on a roll Karen! don't stop now! (look out DH lol)

MommyToAshley replied: YEAH! Glad they returned your minutes. I am sure your DH will never let you live it down that he was right this ONE time. I know my DH would rub it in.

mummy2girls replied: Im glad they gave you the minutes back. Jenna is the same way. I have to watch my home phone and aron has to watch his cell. as she just loves phones!!!!!!

A&A'smommy replied:
LOLOL your so funny!!

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I am glad they tok the minutes off.

Ahhh I can change things and not affect any contract with my cell company, thats why I sugested it, but makes sence not to mess with it until you are done then you cna find a better one and hopefully no contract.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: OMG what a little smarty! I'm sorry you lost so many minutes, I would try to phone the cell phone company, they just might understand! ''

Edited to say OOOPS! That will teach me for not reading all the responses! Glad they gave you the minutes back!

Lily replied:
Wow, I really didn't think they'd do it but that's awesome!
