When daughters get a boyfriend or Did you see the latest mobile phone bill?!?!

I just got our latest mobile bill for the phones that the princesses and Beautiful Wife use and almost fell off of my chair.

Youngest Daughter had some 60 and 75 minute calls which all ended up being chargeable because Oldest Daughter used up nearly all of the minutes in the plan. I just looked at it and she had 649 calls and the total was 1030 minutes! Youngest Daughter had 192 calls for a total of 663 minutes!

The problem is that we have unlimited nights and weekends and unlimited mobile-to-mobile as long as the mobile is Cingular too. They have boyfriends that don't have Cingular phones and they call when it isn't a night or weekend.

Time for a chat with daddy....

I'm surprised you don't call it a cell phone: have you been talking to a few Brits lately?!

Antipo - Mobility is a big thing for the company that I work for so I'm used to using that lingo. I do remember it sounding odd when I visited England around 8 years ago.

You realize that OD spends 3.26% of her waking life on the cell phone (given a 6.5 hour sleeping allotment and a 30-day month).

GEO - So you're trying to tell me she's crazy? I already knew that. ;)

Oops. xx (Might almost be worth buying boyfriend Cingular phone. And passing it on to each new one in turn...)

Grannyp - Oldest Daughter is paying us back and is getting her own plan/phone to solve the whole boyfriend on a different system problem. :)
