Seeking Break On $2000 Bill Run Up By Teenage Daughter

Telecommunications

Here's the condensed version. Mom, Dad and I share an account. Our bill has always hovered around $150. Last month, darling teenage daughter began sneaking my cell out of my room and ran up around $2000 in charges, above and beyond the 5000 minutes we get with the plan. Yes, that's two grand. Yes, we owe it. It is a legit debt. I'm not arguing otherwise. Here's the question: Do I have any chance at all of getting Cingular to cut us a break here? We've been loyal customers for many years. I know on landlines, when kids run up ridiculous bills, the reg. Phone co will sometimes lower the bill. But have any of you ever had luck with a cell phone co. in this regard? And yes, my teen is grounded for just about forever.
