Voicemail calls, and no calls, can be costly - The Red Tape Chronicles - MSNBC.com

Nicki Harris couldn't understand how she'd exceeded the monthly minutes on her Sprint calling plan. She is careful with her prime-time calling and pays for a plan that gives her free Sprint-to-Sprint calls, so calls to her husband and mother don't eat into her monthly allotment. Yet her bill showed she had shot clear through her 800-minute-per-month ceiling.

A close look at her monthly bill revealed a surprising culprit: Numerous calls to retrieve voice mail had chewed up many minutes.

"I noticed overage charges for calls to my voicemail," said Harris, 28. "I thought this was a mistake, so I e-mailed customer service and they responded that they do not consider calls to voicemail to be a call to a Sprint phone number. ... It's hard to believe."

But it's not a mistake. Free Sprint-to-Sprint calls don't include calls to voicemail, the company told me. And it turns out Sprint isn't alone. AT&T/Cingular and Verizon also charge regular per-minute assessments on voicemail calls.

Add voicemail to the long list of sneaky, hard-to-figure charges to look for in your telecom bills.

Of the four largest carriers, only T-Mobile considers voicemail calls as in-network calls.

Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners' 1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog. "She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather said Thursday, July 19, 2007.
