A telecom sales representative told a 90-year-old customer she was getting a free iPad for being a good customer, despite her repeatedly declining, and then billed monthly service and device charges for it once it arrived.

Disputes cycle through departments without resolution and tickets are closed without fixes. The absence of enforceable billing transparency leaves customers financially harmed with no practical recourse short of external legal action.
Unauthorized Recurring Device Financing Charges Added to Telecom Accounts Without Consent

Telecom Retention Upsells Convert to Undisclosed Full-Price Charges
A customer accepted a discounted device and line upgrade offered during a retention call, but was subsequently billed nearly double the promised monthly rate.
