Grandmother questions $10,000 wireless bill
CHARLOTTE (AP) - A Charlotte grandmother is fighting a wireless bill of more than $10,000 that was boosted by six weeks of calls to an adult chat line.
Opal Savage told The Charlotte Observer she's not responsible for the calls. Verizon Wireless has said in correspondence to Savage that the calls were made from her phone.
Savage said she bought the phone for her two grandsons, both teenagers during the period in 2006. The two have sworn they didn't place the calls, and Savage notes that most of the calls originated between 15 and 30 miles from their Clinton home and that some of the calls overlapped in time.
Most of the calls went to Secret Encounters, an adult chat line based in Granada.
