What they did

He says Grok Bot noticed that T-Mobile had raised his bill without telling him. In about an hour on a Sunday morning, it got him a $260 credit and $20 a month off for a year, which he adds up to about $500.

How it went

A list of price rises on your phone bill, and a credit or discount if the carrier agrees.

Worth knowing

  • Short reply post with no screenshot. The $500 is his own total of the credit plus 12 months of discount. What a carrier will offer depends on your account.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Compare my last [6] [carrier] bills and list every price change, new fee or expired discount, with dates. If anything went up without notice, contact [carrier] through chat and ask for it to be reversed or credited, and ask which loyalty discounts I qualify for. Don't change my plan, add lines or agree to a contract without asking me first.

Check a hospital bill against what Medicare would pay

A writer gave Claude the coded hospital claim (UB-04) for his late brother-in-law's $195,628 ER bill and asked it to build a spreadsheet of Medicare rates per code.
