Speaker 1: Don't answer the phone. Elvis Duran, the Elvis Duran phone tapp.
Speaker 1: All right, Garrett, it's all you today.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, our listener, Tina is playing a phone tap on
Speaker 3: her mother Joyce. Now, Joyce just got a cell phone
Speaker 3: and is the last person on earth to get into
Speaker 3: the text messaging world.
Speaker 2: Oh, welcome Joyce.
Speaker 3: Yes, Tina thought it would be funny to mess with
Speaker 3: her mom Joyce about text messaging. So I call as
Speaker 3: a representative from the cell phone company explaining about text messaging.
Speaker 2: Good idea, because when it comes to moms who are
Speaker 2: a little late to the text messaging party, they don't
Speaker 2: know what they're talking.
Speaker 1: Very simple, we'll mess with him. Today's phone tap. Let's
Speaker 1: listen in. Hello, Hi, I'm looking for Joyce Reillo. Please.
Speaker 3: This is she, Hi Joyce. My name is Alex Graham.
Speaker 3: I'm calling from Nazarravat.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I see that you signed up with us not even
Speaker 3: two days ago. So first off, welcome to the family.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I know you signed up for the two hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty text messages a month. You're about to exceed that
Speaker 3: by a lot, so I don't think that's possible.
Speaker 2: I did too, many.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm not sure if you're you're aware of
Speaker 3: how it works. We go by the letter.
Speaker 2: I've only sent four text messages.
Speaker 1: You send a text message to guess here, gus.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's my daughter Tina.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you sent the text message. Did this text message
Speaker 3: go through? So every letter on that counts towards your
Speaker 3: text message a lot.
Speaker 2: Why would you do it per letter?
Speaker 1: That's how we work, That's how we make so much money. Usually.
Speaker 2: That's what it's about. Money right now, that's the problem.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to find a way to make more and
Speaker 2: more money and just to get all of.
Speaker 3: Us well, they're trying to do That's why people sign
Speaker 3: up for the unlimited plan, because you could send as
Speaker 3: many letters as you want.
Speaker 2: You know what that's called. That's called a bait and switch.
Speaker 2: You're trying to sort a little bait out there and say, oh,
Speaker 2: it only costs this much, it's not that much at all,
Speaker 2: and then really what you're doing is screwing us because
Speaker 2: in the end, you want me, how much is this
Speaker 2: on limited all? I bet it's twenty five dollars extra month.
Speaker 3: Did you or did you not just send a text
Speaker 3: message ten minutes ago yes, okay, And you.
Speaker 1: Said, did you watch Glee?
Speaker 2: Why are you reading my text messages? It's just not private?
Speaker 3: Well, it is private, but just for your own knowledge,
Speaker 3: that text message right there puts you over the limit.
Speaker 3: And with that, for every letter you go over the limit,
Speaker 3: that's an extra dollar fifty charge.
Speaker 2: So what should I have written? Did you watch Glee?
Speaker 2: This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Every letter you send now is going to cost you,
Speaker 3: just so you're aware, so I would be careful going forward.
Speaker 2: Now for the reason, I'm done, I just told this
Speaker 2: thing out the windows. My god, I can't believe you.
Speaker 2: So for it, I.
Speaker 1: Hold one second and we will call it right back.
Speaker 2: All right, Hello, mom, we're a bottom here. Well, what's
Speaker 2: up the phone company? They called me about the text
Speaker 2: messaging thing you set me up for. They told me
Speaker 2: that I can only do two hundred and something letters
Speaker 2: come month, and so I don't know. I send Daddy
Speaker 2: a message, I sent you a message, and I don't
Speaker 2: know Annie Helen. And then all of a sudden, now

Speaker 2: need the degravation. I thought you you figured that out
Speaker 2: when we sign up for the plan, and you cannot
Speaker 2: send more than two and fifty. Why do you think
Speaker 2: I only respond with like okay and like roll when
