Twice in the past two years our teenage kids ran up texting and data usage charges--into the hundreds of dollars. We called Verizon Wireless customer service, got future usage halted on data, unlimited texting (stupid me thinking my kids text usage would be the same as mine!), and then they rolled the charges back for the current month, saving us hundreds of dollars. And all we did was explain the situation and ask nicely. BTW, it's our opinion that Verizon has close the best customer service of any company in any business. Any time we call or visit a store they get things done quickly and for the lowest cost possible (often none). We've not been so lucky with most companies, including other cellphone providers. Verizon may not be the cheapest provider, but when you have a problem you don't have to worry how it will turn out. We’ve had similar experiences on cellphone bills in the past.

I understand that the cell phone companies need to create an incentive for people to purchase the unlimited plans, but it would be nice if the per use (per KB, per text message, per minute) charges had some sort of a cap. Capping them at 2-3X the cost of the unlimited plan would still give them companies a hefty profit (while encourage people to buy the unlimited plan) without being completely unreasonable.
