jpollock: Before you guys get too rabid, a couple of points to keep in mind.
SMS is a less reliable delivery method than email (which is saying something), and billing reconciliation can be a long way from real time.
miguelwrang: Not defending her but take into account that until iOS 4, you couldn't easily switch off data roaming on an iphone. I think a lot of you are overestimating the amount of knowledge people have about technology.

jpollock: Ah, but the phone company has plenty of spam filters on SMS messages already. :) Some of them can be pretty broad. Seems they don't like delivering messages for free or something.

FYI
Data Roaming can be turned off since iPhone OS 1.x. ?I believe data roaming was off by default. ?There is also a message below the tick box "Turn data roaming off when abroad to avoid substantial roaming charges when using email, web browsing, and other data services."

That is correct. My 3GS most certainly disabled data by default when I have travelled to Australia both prior to and after upgrading to iOS 4.0.
Mooseboy: I'm not impartial as I know Nicole personally, but the fact that you are even able to rack up $6000 in data charges seems ridiculous in this day and age.
s.joseph: I hope she is made to pay the 6 k in the end. Clearly she knew what she was doing when she was looking up the data prices for roaming and even after she got the warning for 3000 she should have turned off cell data completely. I'm surprise Vodafone are offering to pay half the bill as a good will gesture and that still isn't good enough for her.
