I've somehow never heard of the saga of "VerizonMath" before now. This is... amazing.

$1 ≠ 1¢ <-- This was understood.
$0.5 ≠ 0.5¢ <-- This was understood.
$0.002 ≠ 0.002¢ <-- This, apparently, was utterly mind-boggling.

$ (dollars) ≠ ¢ (cents)

20,000 dollars ≠ 20,000 pennies.
$71.79 ≠ 72¢

20,000 dollars = 2,000,000 pennies.
0.002¢ = $0.00002
$0.002 = 0.2¢

Math... is really not that hard.

From what I understand, Verizon is a pretty shit company all around. I don't know that from personal experience as I've never dealt with them myself, thankfully, but my sister has told me some horror stories of some of her experiences trying to deal with them. The gist of it is that they seem to have a real knack for telling a customer one thing and then trying to extract money for some other, far more expensive thing.
