case closed? or so i think.

TODAY I RECEIVED MY BILL FOR MY PHONE AND THEY CHARGED ME 36 dollars FOR 18 sms.

I swear to god that I never even send back any other sms. It soon appears that THEIR SMS costs 2 dollars. Bloody retards. Such ambiguity in their message!

My mom called up the provider( i wasnt at home, I was at a competition.) And the person actually said I PLAYED THE BLOODY GAME, and said they will only charge me for half of it. Which is a frigging 18 dollars.

What angel they are. Charging me 18 dollars for spamming me.

My own encounter wif high SMS rates was once sending SMSes to friends as usual, only to discover later that they were overseas, so that costed like 0.5 to 1.00 per SMS depending on peak periods.

Maybe Operators should have warning features to confirm whether u want to run games or send SMSes out of Singapore.

But realistically, operators don't really care as they actually make money from people's mistakes, opps I accidentally left my GPRS on.. CHARGE CHARGE CHARGE!
