DH huge mobile bill

[keeplaughing]

Just found mobile bill of DH's £200 worth of 'downloads and browsing' (he has 'normal' internet browsing included in his package already.) What the f* has cost that much in a month?? any ideas

oh dear.....

have you asked him ?

Maybe he's not aware of how much it actally costs? Is he using it as a way to go on the internet all the time? Might not be anything dodgy just a lack of awareness.

Might be worth changing his package.

history of lying / hiding things from me I'm afraid

oh dear again

is there any way to discover exactly hat sites/services he has been using ?

I quite often turn the internet on by mistake and rack up some browsing charges.

£200 is a lot tho.

*what

Is the bill itemised? Or is it all internet charges?

Doesn't sound good though but hopefully it's just stupidity (like when you use your phone abraod thinking 'how expensive can it be really?' and then you find out!!!)

can't find out items, he keeps phone glued to his side and i don't know how to work it anyway! thought of the obvious (porn)but surely it would be difficult to rack up that much?

if you both are liable for the bill, you are well within your rights to know exactly how he has earned those charges

Wow, that is a lot. I'm just about to call my company because of a £62 bill...
Does sound a bit dodgy unfortunately. If it is porn, there are much cheaper options!
My new mobile kept turning itself onto the internet browser, but the 1st bill was pretty normal.

Ask him - come at it from the point of view that it must be a mistake so he needs to call the pone company.

It's his business phone and as he's v secretive I don't get access to info like that. Just checked out charges - i now think it may have been using internet when we were on hols. Yikes, £6 per MB

Has he been abroad? The overseas charges on web browsing and downloading can be extortionate.

Ah, cross post! Sounds like it might be the culprit then.

have no idea what a MB amounts to though!

sounds like pay as you go porn to me.

You say it's his business phone? I take it he is self employed? I mean, he doesn't have a boss he's going to need to explain that bill to?!

yes, self employed so no explaining. have asked him about his attachment to phone but no good answer. It sleeps next to him (on silent) and goes to the loo with him (to play games he says) This bill was a while ago now, but his call charges have gone up c £20 per month in last few monthe, so who knows?

it's very suspicious indeed. Someone who is that cagey and is racking up big bills like that, either has a massive porn habit, gambles - can you play online gambling where it takes your bets by charging your phone? or has another woman.

~It's not acceptable to tell you to mind your own business - which is basically what he's doing. You are his wife. You are concerned. It IS your business.

Well, v good question - does anyone take their phone to the loo with them??

my ex did that once.. he was always up to no good, so when he came home one morning after a night out with no explanation where he'd been, he took his phone to bed (coz he knew I'd be all over it to figure out what he'd been up to). He was sleeping with the thing, finally I managed to get it out from under him to have a look through it.
Sounds a bit dodgy that he's that attached to his phone
