Really? $60 a month is reasonable? What about $65 or $100 a month? Or what about $20 a month? Who determines what is reasonable? You?

How much it costs the company to send the data is not necesarrily the point (it still costs to upkeep the infrastructure). The guy signed a contract and decided he didn't want the data plan. Sorry that the guy is a dumbass but he signed it and agreed that if he downloaded apps, music, games, etc that he'd pay for the data transfer.

None of this would be a problem if the father bought a data plan (even if unlimited is 5GBs then the kid would have been fine) for a little extra. Or better yet if the father took responsibility of his kid.

I don't believe the father's story of "I called verizon to have them turn it off" but if he did and they charged him then I'd side with the father. Until then, I want the government to hold him up to the contract he signed unless Verizon decides out of the goodness of their hearts or a coin flip to waive the fees.

By the way I suggest children's tylenol for you.
