big-will 7 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Quote: A COUPLE have been hit with a bill of £11,000 after downloading four episodes of the sitcom Friends via a mobile phone. The wife of a City executive used his “unlimited” phone broadband package to order the programmes, which would have been free had they been received entirely in the UK. But while the download was still in progress, her husband travelled to Germany for a two-day business trip. The download continued for 12 hours, automatically resuming on his arrival in Germany. According to one source, the businessman, who has declined to comment, knew of the massive bill when he arrived back in Britain and Vodafone contacted his company. 11000!?!?

JA2340 16 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 You are assuming that they ARE thinking! What is the point of downloading a vid to a mobile phone, crappy little screen and tinny audio. Better to get it on PC and save to CD/DVD and watch on a decent screen with reasonable audio. (all this IMHO) A phone is for - talking to people! and messaging people! Nothing more is valid.

thursday 1 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It depends, a city executive would have all his phone bills covered by the company. It would be up to him to shout what he will pay for himself. It's a honour system. But if he was audited, he'd prob be told to pay it himself and no harm done. Link to post Share on other sites
