Marie, how old are your kids? My daughter had an outrageous text messaging bill one month. She forked over the money too. Haven't had another one like it since.

I know a teenager who had over a $700.00 bill one month from phoning his girlfirend who lived less than a half hour away. All he had to was pick up his home phone and it would have been free. He had to pay the bill, but then didn't have the money for college books. His parents lost out because they had to pay his book fee.

Ahh...teens!
