$.002 = .002 cents?

Basically. This guy was quoted a price of .002 cents per Kilobyte and was charged .002 dollars. Obviously, that's a huge difference so his bill was 100x more than it should have been. Meaning instead of being charged 71 cents he was charged $71.

o lawd.

I like how he explains it to them in really simple terms and they still don't get it.

i think it was more of a "oh fuck, if this gets out, we'll lose millions of dollars, lets try to cover it up" than a misunderstanding

You're aware how small a kilobyte is, right? That's only 36mb worth of bandwidth.

Most people use roughly 500x that from their home desktops a month.

Yeah, but that's a hell of a lot of kb for cell phone browsing. Most people use it for a quick check on something and exit.

It probably includes text messaging too.

Not really. Downloading a single Mp3 would use about a quarter of that...

I don't know of any carries that bundle text as a data charge.
