IOS Telephone Complaints - Unauthorized billing

Review all IOS Telephone complaints

IOS Telephone

Posted: 2009-04-08 by   Rebecca
Unauthorized billing
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 6 votes
Company information:
IOS Telephone
United States

Making Connection through Charlotte NC. Flight on weather delay. Called wife to change airport pickup time. Charged $33.29 for 2 minute call.

Telephone had no warnings about high fees. No instructions to ask for fee quote. No operator was involved.

800 number provided by my credit card company reached operator after 30 minute hold. operator refused to provide any contact information for equipment company. Operator claimed to be operator only and not connected to equipment company who set the fees. Internet search did not provide any information on equipment company.

I will never again use a credit card to make a telephone call. As far as I am concerned, the airports are complicit!

Same thing for Raleigh, NC with IOS. We got a charge of $5 first, then a second charge of $28 for the same 2 minute or so call. Total cost of $33 for a couple minutes. We've learned our lesson too.

Used IOS in DFW. Made a 30 sec call and was billed $14.44. When called the company, they insist that it is a 5 minute call logged in the system and it can't be argued. What a scam!

Yes, I just found a $41 for a 2 min, and a $17 for less than 30 sec calls.

How on earth can one complain. It is Gotchea! Capitalism

I was charged 57$ for around 5 min. Before accepting the charges I asked if the rates were like a normal collect call, they said yes... What is this company, there is no way to trace them, even the credit card companies cant!

I accepted a collect call (IOS telephone) from my husband who called from the airport in Atlanta. I barely talked for less than 2 minutes. first they charged $5 to my mastercard, 2 days later the charge showed up as $26.74. My credit card co is trying to contact this IOS telephone, but I have little hope, reading all these reports on the internet.

IOS telephone charges are an absolute rip off!
I was on holiday in the Boston area from the U.K., and phoned England twice during that time. My credit card bill has arrived, showing a collective charge for the two phone calls of £120.00!!
I was on the phone a maximum of 10 minutes (if that) each time.
That would mean a charge of £6.00 per minute - ludicrous!!
I'm am totally disgusted with this service, which was advertised as a cheap way of making calls, on ALL the call boxes.
I'm from the U.K. so I have no idea who I could report this to. But I'm assuming there must be a police or government department who would be interested in this operation. It smells badly of fraudulent practice.
Can someone in the U.S. who has had a similar experience, report this service to an appropriate agency for investigation?

Same thing happened to me in the Atlanta airport. I will look into this further and if I make any headway I will report back.

Looks like there's a common theme here. I was staying at a lodge in the southern Sierra Nevada of California where there was no cell phone service and I got nailed $28.57 for a call that lasted less than 1 minute. I called my wife to give her the pay phone number so she could call me back, but when she tried dialing, she couldn't get through. Anyway, it is a total scam and rip off. I will avoid IOS in the future.

I was charged $52 for a 3 to 4 minutes call from Narita Airport in Tokyo to another cell phone (international cal).
The thing is, nowhere was I warned about the fees. I was expeting something expensive like maybe $3 a minute but that is outrageous. I'll see what I can do to complain/sue. If there's a class action, count me in.
