The cell bill is always high because like every other data util, most cell phone companies make you pre-purchase your usage estimate and fail to credit you if you're under, but ream you with full-on cackling if you go over. super_nyanko and I had several months where some personal event happened that caused us to be on the cell phone more than we considered "normal," and she went over the number of plan minutes by 100-200. It cost us at an extra $150-200 each time.
So very similarly to a protection racket, you pay for more minutes than you think you'll ever use... just in case something unfortunate were to occur. An accident of some kind that, while tragic, could be prevented with a donation to the Verizonelli's.
