180 dollar lesson

When I was out in Vegas and PA I had to use my phone a bit. I knew I didn’t have a nationwide plan so I would have some roaming charges but still I figured my bill may be twice what it normally is, maybe 70 or 80 bucks. When Ali opened the Cingular bill and said “HOLY SHIT!” I knew it was bad, over 180 dollars. Almost all the calls were a minute but the roaming charges were ridiculous. I guess it is my fault for assuming it wouldn’t be so expensive. I signed up for a nationwide plan today, no more roaming. What a racket…
