Careful with your cellphone

I wonder what kind of plan it was. It says it was an "unlimited browser plan", but everyone knows unlimited = so many strings attached your better off selling your soul....
I have a Sprint plan.. my girlfriend has a Sprint plan.. they claim unlimited sprint to sprint but they really mean within the continental US. My last phone bill was up to almost 500 dollars because we had an hour long conversation after she got out of the hospital in a foreign country.

Read the small print, folks.
How much porn did that 'lonely guy' have to download to rack up a bill that high, anyway?

Prolly quite a bit.
Probably not, considering how incredibly slow these cell phone connections usually are. He's likely not even close to my monthly usage. I mean, you want to watch some anime series, add the torrent and put a 2x ratio limit on it, and the next day you've used up 30 gigs, just like that.
We already had a thread on this, by the way. It wasn't very popular. In fact, I think I was the one that killed it.
Uh oh...

Anyway, I find the bill quite absurd but I blame both parties- Piotr Staniaszek for not properly understanding his contract and Bell Canada for not notifying him when the bill totals became excessive. There's no reason why an $85,000 bill should "fly under the radar" like this did.
