Monthly Minutes Meshugas

I have been told by various sources that my minutes usage is a little over the top. I mean, I have unlimited minutes and texting and I try my hardest every month to make sure my cell phone company regrets it. (I think the next time I go into a cell phone store there will be a warning sign with my picture on it...)
My father managed to make me feel the sickest about the number of minutes I used this month by reminding me to divide by sixty to see how many hours I used. Then he had me figure out how many hours are in a month.
I don't like having a math genius for a father.

So now I am wondering. What is the most cell phone minutes (N&W plus daytime) that you have used in a month? How about texting?
Or are you, like me, embarrassed to admit to something like that?

The worst cell phone bill I've ever had was the month AT&T screwed up and didn't apply my unlimited text/minutes to my plan: $9500. That was like, 8000 sent texts, 8000 received texts, and about 5000 voice minutes.

Eh, that's what happens when your boyfriend is on the move....

I never used more than 4000 texts a month. And never more than 2000 minutes, I dont think so anyway.

NF- omg. That's....a lot of texts. 16000 all together? And what happened with the bill? I used to have issues monthly with my bill. They made all kinds if ridiculous mistakes. I used more minutes than you did tho.

BC21- again, I've used more than that for both. But somehow I have a hard time believing that....you sure you never used more?

No clue. Never counted. Wasn't really interested at looking at the bill either. That's what unlimited texting is for :-P

Can I ask why your blog suddenly took a "modern technology" bent?

You know, i have absolutely no clue how many minutes or how many texts i use per month. my father is the one to see the bill and he tells me if i've gone over. but he's never told me anything so i guess i haven't gone over! :)

i have unlimited texting and lots of rollover minutes

It's a big tragedy if my iphone dies on Motzey Shabbos or after a long day of being outside... Fell like lost one hand

I think my brother makes about 10-13 days continued talk during the month. And his friend too since most of the time they talk to each other. Tough live of drivers.

TB- I don't check to see if I am going over. I check to see my progress.... :)

MIM- Who said anything about voicemail?

BTS- Thank G-d for car chargers, huh?
Bout your bro....wow, even I am not that bad...

SD - regarding iphone - i think this was supposed to be posted on your another post. Car charger doesn't help - I don't drive for an obvious reason - I am lazy.

My bro is cool :) Thanks to him i'm frum today (off-topic).

Something Different said...

BTS- Ok, that makes more sense... You need a battery powered portable charger then. :)
