It's like I keep saying:  Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.

So I understand that $0.002 =/ .002 cents and that the Verizon people are mixing up the terms/ numbers but metric doesn't actually write $0.002, does it? Isn't it usually written x.xxx.00 with the normal 2 zeros for cents because there is no 1/1000th cent coin?

I'm curious what his contract says. I'm thinking that it actually says $0.002 which is 0.2 cents so he should be paying the $71.xx and not the 71xx cents he wants to get off with.
ErkZ NOT in SLO w/ his '95 m900!
The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

my bill says $0.10 per text, but it also says 10cent. But when talking to a customer service rep, they always get it mixed up. some of them cant make the connection unless you point it out so im sure verizon get themselves covered, its just the representative whos retarded.

I'm heading to the bank Tuesday morning and exchanging 100,000 cents for a $100,000.

I'm rich!

$0.002 = 2/10ths of one cent: $0.02 = 2 cents

or $0.02 = 2.0 cents.

0.002 cents = 2/1000ths of one cent.  [beer]

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...
