Phone….Home?


Holidaymaker hit with 1.2k phone bill

A Scottish holidaymaker has been hit with a £1,200 phone bill, despite not making a phone call or sending a text when he was away.
Jeff Craw didn't make a phone call or send a text when he was away in Thailand for 10 days but his phone was blocked after he ran up such a large bill.
The 41-year-old man was charged for receiving emails and Facebook updates during his break - but the thought of paying off the hefty sum has led to some sleepless nights.
Jeff told the Daily Record newspaper: "I've not been able to sleep because of this. The phone bill is almost as much as my holiday. It's sickening."
T-Mobile kindly reduced his bill by £297, but when they sent Jeff a text to inform him it looked like they had cut the bill to that amount.
The network have since apologised for the "error in balance" when they first offered the discount.
