this guy is an idiot. you simply call the company as say "i cannot afford this" and they will prolly drop it to ~100$

I know a friend that simply couldnt afford his bills anymore and called the company stating that his money had to go to other payments before the phone company, so cancel it or whatevre they needed to do. He got reconnected to a different person who said they would wipe the previous 3 months off for free as long as he could begin paying off the new bills. And so 3 x 75$ erased, and he just paid new fees

My brother left his phone on "check email" while he was working in houston, received an $800 bill and called them up saying he was working in training, made a mistake and would not have the money. they changed it to a flat $100 fee for that month.
