For Verizon, Dollars and Cents are a Matter of Opinion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0HyxQv97Q&eurl=
This is a hysterical, but painful, recording of a guy that went to Canada with his Verizon wireless phone and was quoted .002 cents per KB while roaming, but when the bill came, he was charged .002 dollars per KB. When he called to get it corrected, he ultimately learns Verizon considers the difference between .002 cents and .002 dollars a matter of opinion. :rotfl: You might want to get your calculator out for this one so you can follow along. And maybe some graph paper, a compass and a ruler. :lol:

In my experience, Verizon is the biggest rip off artist in communication industry, Little by little I went from using Verizon for all my communication needs (cell, land line, internet) to nothing. Only Voicewing (Verizon version of VOIP) remains, but not for long. :evil:

I bet if enough people paid them 50 cents instead of 50 dollars, they'd be able to tell the difference...
..it's just a matter of opinion.

$ .00002 = .002 cents
35893 KB x $ .00002 = $0.71786

".002 dollars and .002 cents, they are both the same on paper"
Wow, not the brightest bulb!

Verizon should stop hiring graduates of Philosophy and start hiring graduates with some background in Maths or Sciences.
They probably haven't even heard of Accountants, and do their own books.
Just a matter of opinion...
