SD Cell Phone Update

NotYourAverageStepMama's picture

This morning I googled about if you could make a payment on someone else's cell phone bill for Verizon. Turns out "Anyone can make a payment to any account. Call in and speak to a rep and state that you want to pay on a bill that is not yours and give them the phone number of the account you wish to pay."

So I was wrong, you can make payments on other people's cell phone bills even if you are not on the bill. So those who thought BM is trying to get DH to pay the bill for SD's cell phone bill are probably 100% right. When I spoke to my mom yesterday she thought the same thing and DH actually thinks it too, so I would say it is pretty likely at this point.

BM responded now two days later about SD's phone saying "We blanked her phone payment as moving etc." 

......................................

Just tried to call DH off the phone and guess what? Still unable to call out as the bill still hasn't been paid. Now I understand why SD tries to use the excuse "I forgot" all the time.

I saw your post about the phone and thought the same thing. That BM is looking for the BF/SM to pay it. Typical. SMH

because we are not going to pay it and we are never going to pay it. It was taken out of the agreement as soon as BM put that in there for the parents to split the cost of a cell phone for SD. 

We think the $120/week for tutoring 2x a week for 2 hours is more important than SD having a paid cell phone bill that she doesn't use here and we don't think she needs.

I"m sure that you and your DH would make it possible for SD to contact her mom via one of your phones.. a cell for a6 year old isn't necessary...

or she calls from mine through the CO app. Now that the CO app has the feature to make calls from it, we have been having SD call that way rather than through anyone's number.

No more back and forth over contact. It is in the app and fully viewable by the Court.

We had to keep call logs.  Keep in mind that we started this pre home internet and navigated through dial up modem internet service.

They kept zero records.  The Judge loved my bride's CPA tabulated, organized, clearly documented records when we ended up in court.  The SpermClan would claim something never happened, they never said XYZ and LMNOP.  My DW had it documented and logged by date, times, etc..  It included discussion transcripts.

The icing on the cake was when they would claim we were lying and we would push play on the recorded call where they said what we presented to the court they had said.  SpermLand Judges are a mixed bag. Some of them were irate we had recorded calls with the SpermClan at all or recorded and not told the SpermClan they were being recorded. Some of theh Judges were giddy that we lived in Texas which is a single party recorded conversation State. 

Anyone can record any conversation they are a party to without notifying anyone other party to the conversation.

Once our atty informed hte Judge that the recordings were done in our home in Texas... even the irritated ones got very interested in the SpermClan lies.

I hope you get a chance to highlight to the Court that what BM is bitching about is clearly countered by the CO app.

Even though they were in the same court room we were when we were there, they would bitch and cry when the next round we would present fresh recorded conversations with them.  One Judge ordered me to inform them when they were being recorded. I replied he had informed them that we could record them on any call where one party was in Texas during a prior hearing and we informed them then that every call would be recorded.  That Judge was not much of a fan of me.  He did not like that he cold not hold me in contempt for ignoring his idiot instruction because where I did it, it was perfectly legal.

Oh man, a judge doesn't like it when a citizen knows what is legal or not legal and can combat with them because they are aware of the laws. Sounds like it definitely was good being so proactive !
