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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

I think you should try aim or skype next time... haha. But what i wish to point out to the other people calling this guy dumb and to use skype are idiots. Its not like he knew it had been removed from his plan. he figured it wouldn't cost him anything more than what thing was included in his plan for a flat rate.

Your dad is a jerk for not telling you he took it off, especially if he knew one of your best (I'm assuming, since you talked to her so long and saved money to visit her) friends lived in Australia. Actually, if he knew she lived in Australia, he's a jerk for taking it off in the first place. >.

When my now fiance and I lived in different countries, we talked for 7 hours at least when we could talk. 5 is not all that hard to believe if he only gets to call her a few times a week.

have some good news for you. my mom (visiting me from out of country) had assumed she was calling using the calling card I have to call my brother in my home country.She had talked for more than an hour and had got up the call charges alone to $250-$300 something. I had called up AT&T wireless customer care and explained to them the scenario immediately and told them the amount is too high can you guys help me with it.they applied back dated international plan on it and I had to just pay $20-$30 on it
