If you’d ask what presents, a popular from now on, citizen of Darlington received in the New Year he will definitely tell you that a £27,000 bill for mobile data was an unexpected surprise for him. Ian Simpson had been advised by his friend to use the mobile phone as a modem for his laptop. Happy to find such a great internet solution, he signed up for a £41.50/month contract to receive internet traffic. After some time, he found his connection had been switched off. When he called the Company, to find out what was the reason, Ian was told that he already had a bill of almost £30.000 to pay. As he would run bankrupt if he’d pay this bill, the company agreed to negotiate a more specific settlement, but Vodafone representatives suggested not to use the mobile phone as a modem from now on.
