How do you deal to run up an $ 85,000 mobile phone bill you ask ? Apparently , 22 - year - old Calgary native Piotr Staniaszek was under the printing that his $ 10 “ unlimited internet browser plan ” on Bell Mobility give him carte blanche to use his cellular phone as a PC modem . regrettably , when a $ 60,000 account arrive in his letter box for the calendar month of November he learned the hard way that this was not the casing . The guardianship were later upped to $ 85,000 “ because the ship’s company was charging him on a per - KB foundation . ”
Bell Mobility has reduced the charges to $ 3,243 as gesture of grace , but they claim that Staniaszek should have known that using a cellphone as a modem fell outside the realm of normal usage . They also observe that the software he used for this purpose warn him that additional charges would apply . Still , Staniaszek plans of fighting the bill summon that Bell Mobility ’s policy were indecipherable . You would think that this would be reasonably undecided and shut , but in a human race where you’re able to be rewarded a settlement for spilling hot coffee in your lap at McDonalds , I ’m not so sure .
