Phone Problems

So the phone still isn't activated. It's been 25 days and the officer said 12. James wants me to call and complain. That's the least of my problems. The biggest is everyone else in the family. James keeps calling everyone collect. They accept everytime he calls. Shouldn't be my problem right? Wrong. I get yelled at because everyone's phone bills are increasing. I've told everyone time and time again they do NOT have to accept the call. James is lonely and wants someone to talk to so he calls. The family answers and talks for 15 minutes and then call me to yell at me about the high price of their phone bills. I don't get why they don't either tell him to stop calling or just not accept the charges. It doesn't do any good to yell at me. What can I do.

That sucks I'm sorry you have to go through that. I can't undertand why they accept the calls then cry to you about it. You should tell them that if they do not want to pay then they should stop answering cuz you are not going to listen to them if it happens again cu they accepted the call.

Everyone of us has gone through the phone problems - outragous phone bills, blocks and a man who seems to have absolutely no will power when he walks by the phone. Shannon said the phone flips him off everytime he passes it. LOL If the other family members are too weak (or stupid) to deal with the phone, don't take their calls and let if go to your voice mail. then if they're screaming at voice mail, there's this wonderful device called "delete". I use it all the time. I'm not stressing over it. I have enough of my OWN bills to stress over. Good luck :)

I know it's stressful for you, but you have to admit that their way of looking at it is quite entertaining too. Next time, just smile when they do that and say,"if I had the pleasure of speaking with him for 15 minutes, I would gladly pay the bill, but it was you who enjoyed chatting with him for 15 minutes, so if it wasn't worth the cost, then don't accept again." It's really laughable that they are doing that and saying what they're saying. Good Luck, maybe they should forward a call to your phone number, Lol.

If they don't want the calls they can block their lines from his facility.
