Bait and switch

Why was I offered a promotion to lower my cable by signing up for free mobile phone and service.  But after I agreed I was charged for mobile?

Ha!  You are funny.  I was online for over 3 hours talking to 6 agents ladt minth.  The mobile agents told me the promotion was thru the cable side so they couldn't help me.  When I first signed up it was because a cable agent told me that if I would take the promo of a FREE  phone and 2 yr free mobile service that ny cable bill would go diwn to $189.  I said I don't need another phone.  I'm already paying for 2 phones thru Verizon and have a contract with them.  He said yes but if you sign up for this promo the phone is free and the phone line is free for 2 yrs.  My household just has my retired husband and me.  We dont needv3 cellohones and 3 phone lines.  I took the offer just to lower my cable.  So when I got my credit card bill yesterday I had a cable charge of $218 and a mobile charge of $54!  I was told there would be no mobile charge and cable of $189.  Does this sound like bait and switch to you because it sure does to me.  I'm at the brink of reporting this to the FCC.

Ok.  I did that but after multiple attempts to get this resolved with more than one person promising it was fixed and not being referred to a supervisor even though I requested to talk to one, I'm not optimistic.

I am mad [Edited: "Language"].  I tried to cancel my mobile service and turn in the phone I didn't want.  Now I'm told that I'm stuck paying for this phone I didn't want but was talked into for TWO YEARS!!!!!
