They communicate by texting and use their phones to watch videos. Normally, thats not a problem. Aarons has the appropriate data plan and her bill is about $175.欠下如此高额话费不是Celina Aarons一个人干的，还有她的两个聋哑人兄弟。他们用短信联系，并且用他们的电话看视频、一般来说，这也不是什么大问题。所以Aarons的正常话费应该是175美元。 　　But her brothers spent two weeks in Canada and Aarons never changed to an international plan. Her brothers sent over 2,000 texts and also downloaded videos, sometimes racking up $2,000 in data charges。但是她的兄弟们在加拿大待了两星期却没有换国际套餐。她的兄弟们发了2000多条短信，还下了视频，所以这部分的通讯费达到了2千美元。 　　When Aarons read the bill -- all 43 pages of it -- she realized she owed $201,005.44.当Aarons看到账单——整整43页的账单——她发现自己欠了20万1千零5块44美分。 　　I was freaking out, Aarons told the news station WSVN. I was shaking, crying, I couldnt even talk that much on the phone. I was like my life is over!“我当时吓坏了，”Aarons接受WSVN新闻采访时说。“我吓得发抖、大哭，在电话里我都说不出话来了。我觉得我的生活都玩完了。” 　　Thankfully, T-mobile agreed to lower the bill to a more manageable $2,500 and gave Aarons six months to pay up, WSVN reports。据WSVN报道，幸好T-mobile公司同意将花费减少到比较能接受的2千5百美元话费，并让Aarons在六个月内还上这笔钱。 来源于：小马过河 小马过河资料下载频道，欢迎您来下载！ 全国免费咨询电话：400-0123-267
