Just seen this pmsl. Don't use ur phone outside the UK lol.
A MANCHESTER holiday-maker ran up a £31,500 mobile phone bill after downloading the series finale of a popular TV show while away in Portugal.
Iayn Dobsyn said he was staggered when he opened the letter. His normal bill is £150.
Mr Dobsyn had run up the charges after not realising that his contract deal did not include unlimited web use abroad.
While holidaying in Portugal, he downloaded the series finale of hit US drama Prison Break, shown on Sky, by hooking up his laptop to the internet via the mobile phone.
In addition he also downloaded some music tracks. Mr Dobsyn, an IT contractor, said he was determined to fight the bill.
And thanks to Blackburn-based legal firm Farleys Solicitors LLP, he managed to get it knocked down to £229.

I always use my phone abroad mostly in the USA and never had a bill over £200 and using your mobile abroad is still usually far cheaper than using the phone in your hotel room !!
