    Its only a phone company, the worst they can do is cancel the contract. The company is at fault they should cut the phone at a certain amount.

      The bill has now been dropped to $2,500

      I bet that the mobile operator are still making a profit even with that figure

                    There really are some stupid people around...

                    I see it was some yanks who did this which seems about right since in my opinion the word international doesnt even figure for them. Its USA or nothing. They probably thought they were still in the US.

                    But phone company should have blocked at some point. I think I'm right in saying that in the UK now if you visit a EU country it auto blocks at £40 or something now?
