In response to "we made him call, they want it paid in full (with current charges kept up to date) by Feb 12th." by Winter Wonderlandie

He's not the first kid who picked the wrong plan and racked up a bill. I didn't even think plans let you have a smart phone without a data plan.

Can he (or Dave, or his mom) call the carrier and negotiate a reduced bill, paired with an appropriate service plan?

Because otherwise I might just not pay it at all and change carriers. I get teaching a lesson but to the tune of $3,000...?

You can get plans here without data (clearly) but that means you have to be just a tiny bit responsible about how you use your phone. - Shaun Dec 27, 08:10 2

yeah, I would not want to kill his credit for the next 7 years due to this. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 27, 07:57
think of the collection agency hell he would go through if he walked away. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:53 3
- I know, but I doubt it would come to that, because most people who make this mistake can't/won't pay it. - TFox Dec 27, 08:01 2
  - it would be worth a shot to at least attempt this, I agree. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 27, 08:07 1
    - we told him to call and negotiate and he got nowhere, we will have to try, but we need to actually see a bill to do so. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 08:08
