| Not much in that story other than stupid Can't really find blame in ATT or Apple for user error. The phone doesn't default to check mail, they have to set that up themselves. The phone, if it really was off, wouldn't fetch mail so they must have had the phone sleeping (not off) for it to fetch mail. I've used the iPhone overseas, it's NOT going to drive your bill up unless you use it. So to get a $1000+ bill per phone you have to use the thing A LOT and if the phone was off why would it need a charge? I doubt that the phone was able to use EDGE to download that much data without a charge. |
| These comments are a sad commentary of our mindsets. Everybody talking about what AT&T as a company should have done. They did it. It's in the TOS. Bring it before a Judge, and see where the decision goes. If I get a license, and don't read the part about passing a stopped school bus with flashing lights, should the cop let me go, because it was buried in the drivers manual? When is ignorance ever an excuse legally? I feel for them, a little, but that makes no difference. I just got back from a cruise, and I kept my phone on for calendar and reminders, BUT I put it in Airplane Mode to turn off ALL radio. How did I know to do that? I called Helio BEFORE I left, and asked questions.
