Title: $85,000 Cell phone bill
Post by: MIB on December 15, 2007, 02:55:27 PM
A guy uses his cell phone as a modem to download movies & music and gets a bill worth the price of 2 Cadillacs.

Big ass phone bill. (http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/87-12142007-1456453.html)

Especially when you use a text bomber! Or spoof as a Boost Mobile number calling another Boost Mobile customer, and presto! No more minutes for the number you are spoofing as!-)

A lot of spoofing services I've seen are pricey on their own (unless somebody else is footing the bill, or if you're leet enough to run your own switch or you had the time to SE and op-divert for your new number). Speaking of which, are there any telecoms that will let you do that? I remember there was a reference on hackcanada about Telus but I think they've wised up since then.
