UK customer gets unexpected £27,322 mobile bill

Following a similar story from Canada (mentioned in our recent podcast and also on the BBC), we now hear in the Northern Echo that a factory worker from Darlington has run up a mobile phone bill in excess of £27,000. Ian Simpson has a mobile phone with Vodafone's "unlimited" internet browsing deal, but apparently he didn't realise that the contract only inclued browsing the web on his phone - not using his phone as a modem for his laptop.
