I get free international roaming nowadays, but 5 years ago I was in China and accidentally plugged my phone in to my laptop to charge.
Laptop started syncing something that had been blocked all week (Dropbox maybe), and the SMS flooded in.
The connection was so fast that within a minute or two I got the following message:
From Vodafone: So far you've used 83MB of data today in our Rest of World Zone, and spent £255. It'll cost £15 for each additional 5MB you use. We'll next let you know when you've spent £495 today but, if you'd prefer us not to, please contact your account administrator. Sent OCT 15 @10:45 UK
