On Christmas me and my cousin both got the Alcatel one touch fierce. Some how we accidentally switched phones and my cousin she used up all my data and I only get 3 gb of data a month. She has unlimited so she was fine when she got hers back but I had to wait a whole month for my 4g #operamax #datahorrorstory
dude you stuck on 2G, now thats spooky!
#DataHorrorStories
#datahorrorstories
Having to share 2gb of data with a family of 4 people that are alway not connected to wifi.
#DataHorrorStories I updated to android 4.4 on the bus and the new photos app was put in and I thought that my photos were already uploaded before the update. I press upload over mobile data and my 1GB is used up. It cut off but when I got my phone plan it was not at the start of the month I started half way through which meant that I used 600mb as well as the 1GB that month and I got a huge fee. They gave me a $50 discount but still 🙁
#DataHorrorStories I was playing a game using internet on my phone using 4g and the internet stopped working because I ran out of data!ÂÂÂ
#datahorrorstories #operamaxÂÂÂ
Leaving on automatic updates when you have apps like Real Racing , Injustice , Dungeon Hunter 4 :((ÂÂÂ
#MaxedOut
First smart phone, 10GB data plan for the entire family get home and immediately start using chrome, YouTube, play store, online games anything that needed data to run, turns out during that time I wasn't on our homes WiFi so it was all going through the data plan I got about 7 messages saying 1GB has been added I thought it was a spam message…I think I got a new record of blowing through data #datahorrorstories
#DataHorrorStories Instgram use alot of data
i think i m invisible online! damn my data operator! thats why i never win any giveaways!
it was 1st november 2010 A.D 0300 hrs, i was using 6Gb data plan when i received a sms-'u hav exceeded limit !'
omg i want that sony xperia z3 🙁
Went on vacation with mom to Mexico and came back to 1,300 dollar bill #datahorrorstories #operamax
My phone bill was 400 dollars one time because my friend used too much data
I was setting up Google+ photo backup on my phone and by mistake allowed it to run on mobile data too. Used up 2GB before I realized. #DataHorrorStories
One time I forgot to turn off data roaming and me and my fds went on my yacht and we went too far off which my data turn to data roaming. And the bill was horrible. #datahorrorstories #operamax
once i made a bill 200 pounds
Turned on mob hotspot for my friend w/o any security and the whole college was connected to it ukw happened 🙁 #operamax #DataHorrorStories
Fuck this, I'm too lazy.
considering Ive never won anything in my life, this is too much work for someone that needs to create accounts to do most of those things.
My horror data story is with my note 1 when last night it suddenly froze and lagged while opening YouTube and it turned off came back on saying it was full then went off and popped up a android green robot with Red icon i was so scared with what happened with my phone… Sadly i sold it today someone offered me 200$ 🙁 all i have now is a pc and lovely nokia 105
Nexus 9 O………………O
Bit annoying though how this was posted a day after the only one I even want was already given away….
my worse data horror was wen it was fifa time and had jus started my data plan on my new xpreria zr. was getting constant update. problem was that i didnt realize the app was eating away at my data plan laster than anything else. so after fifa was finished i was left with nuthing. cudnt even boast to my friends after finals endedÂÂÂ
‪#‎datahorrorstories‬ ‪#‎operamax‬
I have 5GB before I get throttle on Boost Mobile for $45
I hope one day i will win
Wow! That's an awesome give-away 🙂 Too shame I go to download the handy app and none of my devices are compatible! >< Does that mean I automatically win a new phone so that I can use the cool app? hmmmm… I think I hear people laughing through the internet.
Anyhow, I thought I'd share my data horror story here, I suppose it's funny to others, if not informative.
My worst #datahorrorstories is that I borrowed my Dad's windows 8 laptop for the weekend, connected it to my mobile's internet via hotspot and later found where all my internet went in the logs…
"324mb update downloaded – install failed" repeated… tens of times >_>ÂÂÂ
#operamax
Not all of us have unlimited internet… we have like 1gb in Australia.. then the internet runs on our blood and credit cards.
Yeah… that stung.. and so did the bill. But no harm came to the laptop as it never did get that update to work… >_> and it's outside of my reach now as apparently attempting to turn it into a boat anchor is frowned upon.
I 9ne switched from Verizon to sprint and my last bill on Verizon was over $1000 due to data hogging. Which I never did because I wasn't even using the phone. They still want their money. Not cool Verizon not cool.
dammit that opera max app wont let me download onto my phone only some old crap tablet i dont use.
So…who wants to win some free stuff?
I can already feel the jealousy I'll have towards person who is going to win the grand prize package! Either way you can't not enter this, thanks android authority!
Iman on
Won't win
Oh cool, early comment. According to internet logic, I'm cool now
First (let's see how many troll comments we get)
