T-Mobile phone bill mysteriously rises from $34.00 to $290.00 in five days and I was shut out by customer service. Rip-off! Columbus Ohio

Being a "29.99 smartaccess monthly" T-Mobile, receiving a monthly bill of 34.00 dollars seemed correct, and I was getting ready to pay it when just two days after recieving the bill I recieved an IM on the phone saying I was nearing my 150 dollar spending limit. I immediately contacted customer service, and thier explanation was that I had exceeded my 300 minute limit(but would not provide any evidence of it). She acknowledged that I had been overbilled, even if I had gone over minutes, but said she could do nothing because the bill had not been "processed" yet.

Fast forward to three days later. The phone has been disconnected, I call customer service again, only this time I'm taken to a recording saying I owe 288.00, and only giving me the option to pay the bill, not to talk to anyone. Somehow, in five days, T-Mobile's official version of what I owe for one billing cycle has gone from 34.00 to 288 dollars, and everytime a call a rep, they have to stall because they know they don't have an explanation for it.
