The case of the wandering cellphone

Q. I own a small business in Miami. AT&T is trying to charge me over $8,000 for cellphone calls made in Nicaragua and Mexico.

The phone was never in Nicaragua or Mexico and, more importantly, AT&T's own bill shows the phone being in both places at the exact same time.

I have spent 15 hours on the phone with them, and they are saying, ``Doesn't matter, pay me.''

Please help!

-- Chris, via e-mail


A. We sent AT&T your complaint and, the next day, it was resolved.

You say you received a courteous phone call and the charges have been reversed.

According to spokeswoman Kelly Starling, the amount was $1,800 -- not $8,000 -- but you say this has been going on for a long time and the charges have added up to more than that.
