    when you buy those your supposed to use a pay phone otherwise your provider wil charge you for international calling and roaming calling car doesnt do shit in fact it still eats up your minutes

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    LOLOLOL

    Hidden fees? Those aren't hidden fees. Using a calling card is just using someone elses long distance provider. Your still roaming with your phone.

    Don't bother going to a store, it's pointless. I'd just turn you around and tell you to call customer service b/c they're really the only ones that can do anything. And if you already called and they didn't do anything, the chances of you getting something the next time are slim to none. You MIGHT be lucky and reach someone in customer service who is in a VERY good mood and they MIGHT do something. It's worth a shot.

    Why is the cellphone company a douche? You tried to "cheat" the system and got owned

    No point in contacting Clark Howard either....

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!
