The FCC wants to make cell phone companies warn their customers before they go over their limit as in money or minutes, there has been over 750 overage complaints in the first year alone and the highest being $68,505. Over twenty percent of the overages were in excess of $1,000. The cell phone companies don’t want the new rule/ law because that’s where they make a lot of money, AT&T for instance, their cheapest plan is $40 a month for 450 minutes which is about 9 cents a minute, but once you go over the limit the price per minute goes up to 45 cents. And if you talk for about a 100 minutes then it’s easily more than your paying monthly. The FCC wants a warning to be sent before someone goes over, in the form of a text. The company’s say that’ll cost too much but the FCC will make their decision tomorrow on what will happen.
