Reader was charged £950 for two hours' TV

Watching television on his mobile landed one O2 customer with a bill of almost £1,000, reports The Times Online.

"Michael Schaefer, 46, an IT specialist from Ealing, west London, was charged £950 in just four days by O2 after using his 3G phone to view TV for just two hours."

... After a lengthy letter to the operator, complaining that he was not aware of the charge and arguing that he was simply taking advantage of 3G technology, O2 eventually waived his fee."
