In terms of advice to deal with this, I will mention that I use some online tools to combat wireless overcharging; for example, one great online company called Validas at http://www.fixmycellbill.com cuts the average person's cell bill by 22% annually. Validas was actually just on Good Morning America at http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=6887412&page=1. Being a savvy consumer is becoming increasingly important as the recession cuts into all of our pockets. Good luck!
