SAN JOSE, CA -- A San Jose family is shocked after receiving a cell phone bill of more than $13,000 after a trip to Vietnam. They told ABC7 they thought "they were protected from roaming and internet charges."
"T-Mobile charged (Vivian) Chung $13,470 for internet access on her son Nicholas' iPhone," ABC7 reported. "The charges all were incurred in a very short period while their flight was coming in over Vietnam. Chung estimates they racked up the charge in just one-half hour."
However, Chung's son claimed he didn't use the Internet at all during their flight to Asia. In fact, he told the news station he switched his cell phone to airplane mode.
