"When you have a bill that runs normally $250 to $300 for our cell phones, when AT&T saw the numbers getting over $1000, I would think it's their responsibility to inform us that something was amiss because that card could have been stolen," Dave Terry said.
AT&T officials say they are looking into the matter.
