WEBVTT - Text by the Letter Phone Plan

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Don't answer the phone. Elvis Duran, the Elvis Duran phone tapp.

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, Garrett, it's all you today.

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, our listener, Tina is playing a phone tap on

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 3>her mother Joyce. Now, Joyce just got a cell phone

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 3>and is the last person on earth to get into

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 3>the text messaging world.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, welcome Joyce.

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Tina thought it would be funny to mess with

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 3>her mom Joyce about text messaging. So I call as

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 3>a representative from the cell phone company explaining about text messaging.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Good idea, because when it comes to moms who are

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a little late to the text messaging party, they don't

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 2>know what they're talking.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Very simple, we'll mess with him. Today's phone tap. Let's

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>listen in. Hello, Hi, I'm looking for Joyce Reillo. Please.

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 3>This is she, Hi Joyce. My name is Alex Graham.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm calling from Nazarravat.

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I see that you signed up with us not even

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 3>two days ago. So first off, welcome to the family.

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 3>I know you signed up for the two hundred and

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 3>fifty text messages a month. You're about to exceed that

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 3>by a lot, so I don't think that's possible.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I did too, many.

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I'm not sure if you're you're aware of

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 3>how it works. We go by the letter.

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I've only sent four text messages.

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>You send a text message to guess here, gus.

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that's my daughter Tina.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you sent the text message. Did this text message

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 3>go through? So every letter on that counts towards your

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>text message a lot.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Why would you do it per letter?

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>That's how we work, That's how we make so much money. Usually.

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>That's what it's about. Money right now, that's the problem.

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Everybody wants to find a way to make more and

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>more money and just to get all of.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Us well, they're trying to do That's why people sign

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 3>up for the unlimited plan, because you could send as

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>many letters as you want.

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>You know what that's called. That's called a bait and switch.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>You're trying to sort a little bait out there and say, oh,

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>it only costs this much, it's not that much at all,

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>and then really what you're doing is screwing us because

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>in the end, you want me, how much is this

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>on limited all? I bet it's twenty five dollars extra month.

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Did you or did you not just send a text

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>message ten minutes ago yes, okay, And you.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Said, did you watch Glee?

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Why are you reading my text messages? It's just not private?

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, it is private, but just for your own knowledge,

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>that text message right there puts you over the limit.

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 3>And with that, for every letter you go over the limit,

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 3>that's an extra dollar fifty charge.

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 2>So what should I have written? Did you watch Glee?

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 2>This is ridiculous.

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Every letter you send now is going to cost you,

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 3>just so you're aware, so I would be careful going forward.

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Now for the reason, I'm done, I just told this

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:40.239
<v Speaker 2>thing out the windows. My god, I can't believe you.

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>So for it, I.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Hold one second and we will call it right back.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, Hello, mom, we're a bottom here. Well, what's

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>up the phone company? They called me about the text
