Okay, once again a school related question. Can a school take up a cell phone, charge you 15.00 to get it back

In Oklahoma, a teacher can take a cell phone and keep it ONLY until the end of the school day. If the student's parents go to the school to get their child's phone, the school has to give it back. I am not sure about the charging of $15.00 to get it back. States set their own rules. I am sure that it wouldn't be legal to destroy the phone with a hammar, though. If a student destroyed school property, there would be severe punishment.

Sorry, cell phones can not receive a collect call under any circumstances. I learned that one the hard way when  a friend of mine needed help and tried to call me collect.\n\nI called my service provider and asked if there was some sort of option I could change or if I could even put a deposit down so that someone could call me collect - no dice.\n\nI believe that jails everywhere are the same, and they can only make collect calls. This is to help them keep a record of the calls the prisoners make and so that they can't bother people who don't want to hear from them. It may even be a law - I'm not sure.

Same exact thing happened to my husband's cell phone.  We called the service provider and told them what happened.  They locked out that phone to ALL services, refunded us for charges that they incurred and forwarded the issue onto their fraud department.  All we had to do was get a new phone.  Kind of a pain, but it all worked out just fine.

im in high school, and i kno tons of people that use their cell phones to call the teachers phone.  let me tell you, it can be quite hilarious, especially when u have a teacher who thinks that when the phone rings its like htis big exciting deal. lol.  i had a friend who actually called from the bathroom and told a substitute teacher that she was needed in the office.  she ran to the office, leaving the students alone in class. i heard that was a funni one, but after she came back, everyones cells were searched for the classroom's number.

Thank the school for encouraging your son to integrate with others rather than sinking into his own personal private hole.\n\nSorry, you will doubtless receive virtiol from other computer users answering this as iPods are genuinely detested.\n\nWrite the school a nice note, confirming your disaproval of the loss and asking that they replace the lost item. Once they confiscated the thing, they unfortunately assumed responsability for it.

OH YES!!!!!  i've had problems with them about 5 yrs ago---and just recently again---they were charging my bill with a cell phone i never had.....my bill was over $900  I spent almost two hours on the phone with them, after they completed their research they found the error---but just the same i had to spend my time to straighten out this mess.......so watch them......my advise to you with at&t, be careful what department you talk to, they have billing, the payment center and of course the collection department.  these 3 departments have different amounts on \naccounts that is owed.....always talk to the billing department they have the accounts more up to date. good luck.

Models just keep on comming. Back-to-school is maybe one particular occasion, but anytime people are prone to more spending you will probably get another wave of new cellphones in the market. Ie: Christmass, Valentines, Easter, Mothers day, Fathers Day, Back to School, Holoween, etc etc etc

only if they made it clear at the beginning of the asking of donations that they intended to purchase school property. I'm hguessing they didn't because who would agree with that? I suggest calling the newspaper or television news. When someone shows up and starts asking them about this I am sure they will change their minds

As long as there are from Cingular themselves then yes, they should be free. For example like when you pay your bill, (and have signed up to receive a free notice) they will text message you to say your bill has been payed. Things like this are free of charge through Cingular.

I think so and there will be some extra charges but the best thing is to consult with your phone provider..☺

I am sure it is either charged as a text message or wireless internet usage - either way there are fees.  I would suggest checking out their site to find out the specifics - or call their customer service number.

Many phone companies already do include this in their basic charges.\n\nYou may be interesting in lobbying your legislator if you feel that laws should prohibit this as a separate charge. I can understand how that is a real priority.

7 years of college and they didn't address how to charge for your services?  I would get my tuition money back. Seriously, it depends on what part of the country you live in. My son in law is an attorney in SD.  His fees are far less than they would be in DC for example.

By the call-waiting, if you have an incoming call and if you want to transfer it to your cell phone you can view at the menu ''Recent Calls'' and transfer it to your cell phone or to other cellphone; keep that in mind sometimes they charge $.90 for each.

sure. as taxpayers we pay for it. If you don't get what you pay for you should be able to sue or get your money back as with any other business.
