Wow I’m glad that I didn’t get this cell phone bill for the new iPhone. Apparently the new iPhone updates email even when its turned off and can rack up some huge charges in other countries. It looks like this user took their iPhone on vacation and upon returning home they had a $4800 bill from AT&T for the all of the international charges.
Unfortunately for the user it looks like it states something in the terms and conditions of the agreement that international usage can result in huge charges. I’ve really never been good about reading terms and conditions for stuff I sign up for. Really when it comes down to it most people don’t have time to sit down and read a long agreement and most may not understand them anyway. Well the bottom line is that terms and conditions are put in place strictly for the companies benefit, however after reading this story I’m definitely going to examine service agreements that I sign alot closer.
