i don't have a good relationship with my dad (my parents are divorced, so i go see him everyother weekend) he pays for my cell phone and we got a 1500 txting plan (at the time i offered to pay him 5$ a month to upgrade to the unlimited plan, but he said no) and this month i went over (according to cingular) over 800 messages costing over 40 dollars he called and left me a voicemail screaming at me and i don't see how i went over by 800 i think cingular is pulling a crock again (they have before on me buying ringtones, when i don't even have internet on my fone) so what do i do? my dad said we'd talk about it when i go over next time but im scared cause hes really mean when hes mad and hes gonna yell at me and interrogate me please help

1. he can get a list of all the texts times you made and received and count them
2. b strong! he cant do anything 2 u, and if he does, call him on it. i know its hard, but u have to. while hes yelling at u, stay open but dont act mad. let him say his piece, and then very calmly explain what u think is going on. if he cant listen, leave! as a parent he should know enough to listen to his kid.
3. well if you're that scared that he might hurt meet him in a public place or take someone with you like your mom or best friend and you can ask your mom to call the cellphone provider and ask them to send you a document that proves that you didn't go over the limited number of text messeges just get a trusty adult help I hope it'll turn out ok
4. if it was me i wold start crying infront of him and swear that you didnt go over, then offer him the $40 or somthing, and tell him that they may just b pulling somthing again
5. OK, sweetie, first of all, calm down. Your dad was really angry when he left that message, and by the time you see him, he will not be that angry. Give him some time to cool off. Then when you do see him, tell him as calmly as you can that you really don't believe you went over your message allotment, and you think he should request an itemized bill. If the bill shows that you DID make that many texts, remind him that you offered to pay the difference for the unlimited plan. The most important thing is to remain calm and don't let him bully you. Try not to cry and/or act scared when you are talking to him. If he does yell and interrogate you, tell him calmly that it really upsets you when he yells and you would like to discuss the matter calmly and rationally.
6. I agree with cnd suggesting that you ask your mother for help on this. If your mother and father don't get along then maybe his girlfriend or someone that he respects. Cingular pulled crap like that on me so much that I paid money to break my contract with them because I was having to fight them all the time on charges that weren't mine and 4 years later they still claim that I didn't pay 2 of my monthly bills that I did pay. Good luck and try to remember that he does love you even if he doesn't exactly show it.
