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!

skype .... or go and buy your own phone and don't rely on mom and dad to pay for your calling plans

YDI for talking to your friend for 5 hours. Sure it sucks your dad didn't tell you, but why talk to them for so long if you were planning on visiting them?

5... hours? Get a life! Ever hear of IM or email?

2 things here - 1) Get "Skype", no costs. Better to have a webcam for full usage, but worst case it's a free phone call. 2) Work out you call costs for the 5 hours under your old plan, compare to the actual billing you got, and see if Dad is prepared to meet you half-way (of course, he'll open up a whole new area of 'costs' in the household - but at least you're showing him that you weren't just recklessly calling for 5 hours without an abilitry to pay for it).

Skype isn't as awesome if either party doesn't have a great Internet connection, and unless you have a Skype phone and not just a PC headset you can't lie down or wander around the house or anything very easily in the 5 hours they're on the phone. I've broken 8 or 9 hours before when talking to people who were long distance from me. And IM and email

Daaaaang. If your dad made the change without telling you, he should pay at LEAST half.
