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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my mom from Australia. I have been abroad for two months and hadn't talked to her in a long time. A few minutes into the conversation my moms stops me and says this call must cost a fortune and hangs up on me. A few bucks in more important to her then me. FML
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML
Today, my long-distance relationship ended. The only thing my dad had to say to comfort me was that he hopes my phone bills will, "go back to normal now." FML
Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
Today, I finished a 2 hour Skype call with my girlfriend, only to realize I was using mobile data. FML
Today, my father called me for the first time in two weeks since I moved away. Excited, I answered the phone. It was a mistake. He thought he'd called my sister. FML
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML
Today, I switched cell phone carriers and got the plan where you can call or text any five people for free. The employee asked for my five, I could only come up with one, my mom. FML
Today, I got a missed call from my dad, who hasn't talked to me in months and has vowed not to have anything to do with me. I called him back excitedly and apologized for missing his call, and we had a 20-second conversation about how his phone accidentally dialed my number. FML
Today, it was my dad's 60th. I was planning on calling him early, but due to a client (I'm a social worker) ending up in hospital because her husband beat her up, I couldn't call him until 2:30. My mum phoned me in tears, yelling that I was a bad daughter and obviously didn't care about my dad. FML

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

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.
