Man Gets $4,190.76 iPhone Bill

At least it wasn't over $9,000.

When you purchase an i phone, you are told about a mandatory data package which covers all your data while in the US, people think they are being "sneaky" by getting an i phone and putting thier sim card into it to avoid paying the extra 20 dollars for the original i phone data package or the 30 data package for the 3g, and they are surprised when they get an outrageous bill because they dont want to pay for the services they are recieving, and when your traveling overseas, how do you figure that att would have towers over there to cover your data without an international feature? Common sense would tell you otherwise

What an idiot!!! He could have gotten an international calling card for about $100 and been alot better off

iphone sounds pretty crappy after this story

I'm sure he felt that all he used his iPHONE for was necessary, so he should have to pay the bill like all of us who make use of a service.

at@t gotta love or leave them alone.

I did use my cell phone (verizon wireless) in the Bahama's and Puerto Rico while on a cruise. I did not get any additional Charges. I have done considerable amount of research on the best cell phone plans around and Verizon has the best one I don't understand why everyone is against that company any input here would be very welcomed.

Love my Verizon plan/phone whatever you want to call it. Never had a problem with them and I have been with them since 1996. I don't understand why people get new cell phones every few months with new companies and new phone numbers.

I personally love Verizon and dislike AT&T. (Their basic phone charges are almost the same.) But I am addicted to Apple products... I haven't gotten the iPhone yet. (After reading so many iHorror stories recently, how could I?) But I think I will wait for the next line of iPhones, to see if they have worked out any of their problems.

retard! everybody knows you arent supposed to roam with iphones. i have one, and im a teen, and i still know its pricey to use it in foreign countries. way to go pierre or whatever the crap his name is.

To all of you cattle branded zombies it's time to smarted up and use your hard earned cash for better things you can enjoy in your spare time, like a "forty sack" of grass and rolling papers - and you'll still have enough to take your Old lady for a Honey moon at the Roach Motel.

I just got what I thought was an unlimited data plan too and I've been on roam for 3 weeks wondering what my bill is going to be. Yikes!

Having been to Ibiza ... and owning a tri-band phone since 2003... (my current phone is a blackberry its quad band)... Everyone with half a brain who intends to use their phone beyond U.S. their phone outside of Canada pays the extra $20.00 bucks a month to turn on international service. I'm sure he had the travel plans prior to buying the phone... Ibiza sells out for summer by March... but then again its the having half a brain thing.... he should have stayed in Seaside Heights, New Jersey... where he could have impressed the locals with his expensive toy... I'm sure he was texting "like a pimp" and calling home to "Ant" aka "Antony"... in Kearny, New Jersey to boast about how many bums he grabbed at the foam party.

FFS... did he use the film "Eurotrip" in which a dude uses a tri band phone to pretend that he was in the States as his guide...

i also had an iphone and was on full usage plan and received a bill of over $400 when my plan was only 169 for everything. they immediatly said they can slash the price and have authority to reduce other things and finally withing 5 min was down to correct price..i wonder how many people dont even look and just paid it as i usually would do..they are prob making an extra 100 million in mistakes on bills. i was alitlle offended

FIRST OF ALL.... NEVER TAKE YOUR CELL PHONE ON VACATION!!!! ESPECIALLY IF IT'S TO EUROPE, NO MATTER WHAT PART!!!!! :)

Rule of thumb: Know Before You Roam!

Why the heck wasn't he just enjoying Europe instead of obsessively using his iphone??? I don't have a cell phone nor do I want one. I think they're absolutely annoying and so are the people who have them glued to their face 24 freakin hours a day! Most people with cell phones can NOT drive or go to the store without talking on the phone, sheesh! Don't believe me? Just try going shopping or running errands without talking on your phone. Betcha can't do it.

When I got my verizon unlimited data plan the rep forgot check that box on VZW's computer...first bill $1685 !!! (luckily had paperwork showing plan so they made good ut took 2 months and a second bill for $1950 before it was fixed!

Poor iPhone. It's reputation is getting tarnished by a few morons.

if you can afford an iphone trips to Ibiza, Spain and Europe im sure it didnt hurt him any..prolly just a reason to get some publicity.this is just some rich shmuk...
