Default Wow that's a hefty bill

By The Associated Press, thecanadianpress.com, Updated: October 18, 2011 8:05 AM
US woman shocked by $201,000 cellphone bill

MIAMI - A South Florida woman got a shock when she opened a recent cellphone bill: she owed $201,000.

It was no mistake.

Celina Aarons has her two deaf-mute brothers on her plan. They communicate by texting and use their phones to watch videos. Normally, that's not a problem. Aarons has the appropriate data plan, and her bill is about $175.

But her brothers spent two weeks in Canada and Aarons never changed to an international plan. Her brothers sent over 2,000 texts and also downloaded videos, sometimes racking up $2,000 in data charges.

T-Mobile told Aarons the bill was correct. She called Miami TV station WSVN, which contacted T-Mobile. The station reports that T-Mobile cut Aarons' bill to $2,500 — and gave her six months to pay.

What does this have to do with Rogers?

And why did you make a duplicate post about it after like 2 hours?

Plus its her own fault, not the carriers she forgot to add a international plan

It doesn’t have anything to do with Rogers but I thought that some forum members that are with Rogers may not read all posts in general discussion but want to be aware of this. The same could happen to anyone from Canada going to US.
