Canadian Cell Phone User Rings Up $85,000 Bill

According to a Reuters report, Canadian oil-field worker, Piotr Staniaszek, stunned to get a C$85,000 ($83,700) cell phone bill.

The trouble stems from the new phone he received when he renewed his mobile phone contract. In return, he received a new cell phone. The new model allows him to connect with his computer and download data.

Equipped with a $10 unlimited mobile browser plan, Mr. Staniaszek believed he could use his cellphone as a modem for his computer and started spending a lot of time on the Internet, downloading high-definition movies and other bandwidth-hungry applications.

Staniaszek senior said Bell has agreed to reduce the charges to C$3,400 for "goodwill". A Bell spokesman said the plan is not intended for downloading files to a computer, and that's clear in his contract.
