US Couple Get Shocking $143,000 Phone Bill After Using Mobile Data Abroad

The couple disputed the charges with T-Mobile but initially received no response. They even sought legal help to challenge the bill.

A Florida couple, Rene Remund, 71, and his wife Lynda, 65, were hit with a massive phone bill after returning from a trip to Switzerland. The bill, totaling a staggering $143,442.74, stemmed from using mobile data while abroad, according to ABC Action News.

Remund, a loyal T-Mobile customer for nearly 30 years, claims he informed the company about his travel plans before their trip.

"They said you're covered. Whatever that meant. You're covered," Rene told ABC Action News.
