My step-daughter gets one this month (she turns 11) and we'll have to sit her down and make sure she understands that principle as well
No, I get what you're saying. And, what the others are saying...

But, yesterday I went over to Verizon to check out prices and see if it was worth moving to them from TMobile. They have one price for a "service" and a separate fee per item if you don't opt for that service.

I don't recall the exact fees - but, it's like $20 for the month to download unlimited. OR, it's $x per whatever to download per item.

It seems as though Dad didn't opt for the monthly service - and didn't understand the possible line item charges. It's in black and white when you sign up - it's NOT a surprise.

What about, he should have been paying attention to what his child was doing? Maybe?
