billing issues-price increase

For one y'all really need to do a better job of notifying customers when their promo is ending. Every single time it comes up it's such a hassle and a headache speaking with your overseas reps who lets face it .. are absolutely no help at all. I get the run around every single time until I threaten to cancel and they magically find me a better deal. 

On to the issue. My bill jumped up to $79 which I cannot afford. I'm currently unemployed and can barely pay my bills. Called customer service. After 20 some minutes of talking in circles. They found a $40 promo which is great. However the bill already went through and my account is saying I owe $79. The rep only wanted to try and upsell me on free cellphone service for a year and then something about paying $90 and after that my bill would go down to the $40. I'm so incredibly sick and tired of dealing with the chat bots, the AI and the overseas reps. 

I just want to pay $40 a month and be done with this [Edited: "Personal Information"] for the next 5 years. 

Help a broke lady out please.

user_kp20e7. I’m sorry this has been such a frustrating experience, especially when you’re trying to manage expenses and were surprised by the increase to $79. I can understand why you’d want some clarity after being offered the $40 monthly rate. Let’s take a closer look at the account, the current $79 balance, and the new promotion so we can clarify exactly what you’re being charged and what to expect going forward. Could you please send our team a Direct Message with your name and service address? Our team can take a further look at this issue.
