FCC Mulling 'Bill Shock' Warning System
FCC??? What about
My electric Bill????
Are they going to send me a text letting me know its high, or will I continue to hold my breath everytime I open the mail?
This is insane. The things consumers require cell phone companys to do but no other company has to do it...

It doesn't matter, what I'm saying is no other companys are force to do things like the FCC forces Cellular companys to do crazy things.

There is a major difference between an electricity bill and a cell phone bill, in my opinion.
No matter how much electricity you use, it's bill at the same rate per unit. You pay for what you use, light or heavy usage. Enough said.

How can the first 450 minutes cost less than a dime a piece, and additional minutes are practically 2/$1? Here is where rollover minutes start to make sense.
