How to dispute a billing charge from a wireless carrier?

I am a customer of verizon wireless and they have billed me $900 for a mistake of theirs. The service provider’s agent gave me wrong information that calling from canada would be free with a value plan. I even called the provider again to confirm this but roaming charges were posted to my account. I was told that once the billing cycle is complete, they would be able to revoke the charges but after the cycle completes, customer service refused to revoke the charges. What can I do about this?

I would write your Verizon provider as well as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a letter expressing your displeasure regarding the billing issues and demand that things get rectified by a set date. Keep a copy of the letter for future use and reference. If the due date comes and goes without any resolution, then make a complaint in writing about your service provider to the FCC.
