Sprint still does this:
"Other : Sprint has the goofiest phone bill pay system.
After you key in the payment and get the "robo-voice" (older and less pleasant than Charter) reading back your Visa information and the question "is this correct?"
Respond in positively and the same voice give you a "confirm" number and asks "is this correct?"
Huh? You just gave me the number "robo-bitch"
Do executives of these companies ever try to use their own systems?"
And now : from WSJournal

...
Several years ago, they over billed me more than $1,000 ... which I could not sort out until I dealt with collections.
