 What is the biggest cellphone bill ever that you have paid or listen to be paid ever come across the world ? My be a thousand dollars? Two thousand, maybe? Well, a Tasmanian lady achieved the unthinkable and  the astonishing amount of about $200,000 worth of 3G data and phone calls over a period of three months without even knowing what she was really doing.

 It all started when Kylie Monks, the protagonist of our story,she  met a guy on internet, and known only as a Freeman, and received a SIM card from him to surf the web with. Little did she know that the SIM card was actually stolen from a power meter that belonged to the local Aurora electric power company. Every single megabyte of traffic was adding $2 to the company's phone bill, which is why only three months later, Aurora received the whopping $193,187.43 in wireless data charges.

 Even though she didn't know that the SIM card was stolen, Kylie Monks had  serve her time of six months in The Big House. Kylie admits that besides using the free internet for casual stuff, she also downloaded dozens of movies, which were burned onto CDs and sent over to Mr Freeman.
