They didn't use their phones, but when they got back they had a 54-page monthly bill of nearly $4,800 from AT&T Wireless.

buti pa get an iphone without plan then use hack it para maging open line.use smart and globe or sun para unlimited hehehe
how can it download when it is turned off? I mean if it is even possible, there should be a toggle to turn it off because that is 10/30minutes here and not "free" like in the US. base on "Europe, costs $24.99 for 20 megabytes.", the Iphone downloaded around 3-4gigabyte of data. errr... for emails?
