Traveling to Switzerland will be a fun trip for everyone. But the furnace of an American tourist got ruined. To spend a few days of holidays, he went to Switzerland, which is called ‘Heaven on Earth’, but as soon as he returned home, he got a mobile bill of Rs 1.20 crore. At first he thought that maybe the bill would be 143 dollars, but when he looked carefully, his breath stopped. Don’t make this mistake even by mistake.
According to the report of New York Post, American resident Rene Raymund and his wife Linda had recently gone to Switzerland for a holiday. These people have visited Switzerland before as well, as both are originally from there. He informed his mobile phone operator about this. Also took a package, in which there was no extra cost for using his phone abroad for the next 30 days. But they forgot to talk about roaming;
Because of this the bill came so much
Raymund and his wife took a lot of photographs while roaming in Switzerland and shared them with friends and family members. Never even thought about roaming charges, which could cost thousands of rupees. The mobile bill that Raymond received after returning home had $143K written on it. Seeing this, Raymond thought that perhaps this bill was for 143 dollars. But when they went to pay the bill, they were told it included a few more zeros. This bill is not 143 dollars but 143 thousand dollars. Hearing this, Raymond started shouting. Said, are you crazy? Where can this much money come from? But this was the truth. The bill was just this much. If we look at 143 thousand dollars in Indian Rupees then this bill was Rs 1.20 crore.
Please check before traveling abroad
Employees said that Raymond shared 9.5 GB of data daily while traveling in Europe. Due to this he lost thousands of dollars every day. The biggest loss was due to roaming charges, which reached lakhs of rupees. Later, Raymond hired a lawyer to settle the matter. The mobile operator said, whenever we go somewhere, we should check international data roaming, travel facility, international network before leaving. One should inquire about this thoroughly. If a customer is with an old plan, which does not include data-calling and international roaming, then they may suffer the most.
