British Tourist Pays R45,000 To Download Neil Diamond Album In South Africa
15 Apr 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Tech/Sci, World
While on a trip visiting her boyfriend’s family in South Africa, Katie Bryan had a huge surprise waiting for her back home in England – a bill from her mobile carrier for R45,000. All because she downloaded a Neil Diamond album.
You would expect this album to be plated in gold and encrusted with actual diamonds by the price tag, but no – it’s just a virtual copy of one she got on iTunes. Maths teacher Katie Bryan’s roaming charges for the 326mb download were 285 times what she paid for the album on iTunes.
She eventually got it down to R7,000 by complaining to her service provider, but that’s still the most expensive Neil Diamond album we know of.
