AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has refunded a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan $16,000 after a miscommunication took place. Pfc Jose Rivera was deployed to the Forward Operating Base Shindand in Afghanistan. He believed that his overseas calls would cost $4.95 per month. He made a lot of calls to his wife and newborn child during the time he was being billed at a much higher amount without knowing.
