Unhappy iPhone Not Charging Me For Calls???

Ok, well I have a 3G as most of you know. And of course I have PAYG. And lately I've noticed everytime I make a call, it's not charging me??? I even tested it out, I made a 30 minute call with only 3.00 on my account, and when I ended the call I hit *777# to check my balance and it was still 3.00!
What is my iPhone doing to do this??

Maybe it's just delayed billing? Have you given it a few days to see if it catches up?
Maybe it's charging it to your credit card or to someone else, lol. I'd give PAYG a call and check.

Why even worry about it? You get screwed on the pay as you go rates. Maybe AT&T felt bad and gave you a break. Just enjoy it while it lasts. Mark

+1, i would laugh if you somehow got a huge bill for this. this sounds like the guy who mistakenly got extra money at the ATM then went and spent it all thinking it was free, only to get a huge bill in the mail a few days later.

if something is too good to be true, it is. you'll learn that in good time boss

No, no, I've been misjudged. I learned that lesson long ago. My friends say I think everything is a scam and I'm as much of a skeptic as anyone.

It just reminded me of when I was stationed in Japan when I was 18. My parents got me a phone card that was only good for calling them. I used it twice a month and the bill was included in their home phone bill, but then a problem occurred that someone else noticed before they did. A gas station owner from a different city in the same state called them frantically and asked them if they knew anyone in Okinawa, lol. I'm not sure how, but after it had been working fine for months, the billing somehow got transferred to this gas station that none of us had ever been to.
