What?! $11,000 insane iPhone bill!





Beware. If you brought your iPhone when travelling out of the country, please consider the roaming fees. Let’s learn about Mythbusters co-host Adam Savage case. He was surfing the Internet while on a trip to Canada for a few hours, AT&T charged him for some $11,000! They shut down his service until they get paid.

Adam Savage (@donttrythis), who has more than 57,000 followers on Twitter, tweeted:

Text messaging fees are stupid robbery? (they are), AT&T is attempting to charge me 11k for a few hours of web surfing in Canada. Pls RT!

And then, his next tweet:

Did I mention they’ve turned off my phone until I pay? #attsucks

    It would be nice if people could read BEFORE posting articles… This was not an iPhone bill, rather a bill from a USB wireless internet modem.

    Jack, you’re right. Adam Savage himself already clarified his tweet. His another tweet reads: “Sorry, bit of explanation: device in question wasn’t my phone, it was the AT&T USB connect Mercury modem.” (http://twitter.com/donttrythis/status/2349337674). So, it’s his AT&T bill.

    Thanks.
