$143K for 9.5GB of data is over $15000 per GB. I call bullshit.
Edit: The US t-mobile website indeed lists a charge of $15 per MB if you don’t have any roaming plan active. Insane.

TLDR: Florida man asked T-Mobile emplyee if using his data in CH was covered in his plan. Enployee said yes. Still got a super high bill. T-Mobile credited the bill after they talke to the man and his lawyer.

“The best thing to do in such situation is to steer clear of using mobile data while you’re abroad. Even if you are told that you will be covered, you can avoid the potential shock from incurred charges when you avoid using mobile data”
🤦‍♂️
Sure, great advice. Don’t use the service you pay for after the provider confirmed that it’s covered?

This is ridiculous and should be met with a ridiculous response. I volunteer to give back the 9.5GB for him with my swiss internet plan. That way the damages should be covered for t-mobile USA.
