    I googled B8294, and a girl named Fabia came in the first place, have you ever talked to her?

    I guess this B8294 is like some 900 numbers, the carriers will charge for these numbers no matter what unlimited plan you have.

    ^could've been a buddy, snoopy house mates, or a mistake by you or WIND.

    Sent from my SGH-T959 using HowardForums
    Telus told me that I have to pay more than my monthly bill to continue using services.
    So I said BYE TELUS! and Hello WIND!
    I then tried Mobilicity, on the $35 all-in. Coverage sucked and then the Holiday Miracle Plan popped up...
    So I said BYE MOBILICITY! and Hello again WIND!

    I do not remember the Letter/number combo i was charged for.
    But the CSR asked me which phone i used, and then told me i could not have dialed it unless i had a Blackberry which i do not, odd.

    maybe it is some number/code in text message and you accidentally dialed the code.

    I sometime receive some short code messages from gmail verification, Bloomberg etc. it happens.

    would wind adjust your bill?
