经常有这样的事情,这个报道说用量超了1G,被singtel收费12kDOWNLOADING fever can lead to raised temperatures.
Take Mr Zhou Yong Liang for example, who got hot under the collar when he saw he was first billed $12,000 for exceeding his data downloading limit.
He had signed up on 13 Sep for SingTel's Broadband on Mobile service, which has a 10GB-limit, for $22.42 a month.
Two days later, the service was activated.
Mr Zhou checked his email, surfed the internet and downloaded episodes of a TV drama series onto his phone.
On 17 Sep, he got a call from SingTel at 10.45am informing him that he had busted the 10GB data limit by 3GB. He was to pay the excess charges of about $12,000 at a bank.
Mr Zhou raised his case in the Lianhe Zaobao letters page last month.
He said he got a second call at 2.16pm that same day from SingTel.
This time, he was told that he would get a 50 per cent discount on the excess charges, bringing the bill down to about $6,000. His account was suspended at about 5pm the same day.
