Today, I called my friend in Australia to have a nice long chat, what I did not know was that my dad had removed my international calling plan, I talked to my friend for 5 hours, and ran up a huge phone bill, which I have to take out of the money I saved up to go see her. FML

Why does your dad have the permission to change your contract? Get your own!

Actually your dad should pay for it, cuz he didnt tell u......... not ur fault! He's screwed!~

So, your dad knew you were saving to visit your friend.. He must of known you were calling, why would he get rid of it?! -_-'' Makes no sense

That sucks! And your dad didn't even tell you he took out the plan, I don't think you should have to pay for that

Use skype, its free for voice/cam chat!

Can't say it enough, look into Skype and similiar options for next time, some of them MAY be cheaper. Anyone who says it definitely is cheaper is just plain naive. As for the existing bill, he made the change and did not inform you, he is both disrespectful in his lack of communication, and as he obviously has account access to make those changes himself, liable for the bill. Unfortunately, unless you are prepared to destroy the relationship with your father, you'll have to eat the bill anyway. Good luck with the girl though, I met my wife online almost nine years ago now, and we have two beautiful children. We used to talk pretty much overnight before we got together in person.

If your dad removed it, that means he is the one paying for your cell phone not you, so you obviously were running up huge phone bills by calling internationally on your plan before this. Otherwise there would have been no reason at all for him to even consider removing the plan - pay for your own phone and your own bills if you want to run up huge expenses and you won't run into problems like this

Not necessarily. My cell phone bill was in my mom's name for years because I didn't have a means to do a credit check, but I paid for it.
