Whilst browsing the Football 365 forum I came across this gem. Now I LOVE my Prison Break, and really can’t wait for the next season to air, but feel this is a little EXTREME to say the least…
Holidaymaker gives ‘bill shock’ a new meaning by downloading TV show using mobile phone.
A Yes Telecom customer has been sent a £31,000 mobile phone bill after using his handset as a laptop modem to download an episode of Prison Break while on holiday in Portugal.
Iayn Dobsyn, an IT contractor from the UK, realised that using data while roaming carried a cost but expected the bill to be more like £150.
He said: “I knew i used a lot of data while abroad but not to the tune of £31,000. The figures didn’t make sense.”
Yes Telecom has agreed to reduce the charge to a more manageable £229 and has advised customers to check the small print on their contracts before travelling abroad
