Vodafone says that it is sympathetic to Simpson's situation, and is currently considering reducing the charges.
"Customers are advised of the charges for data after the fair usage limit has been used as part of the terms and conditions. Very few of our customer exceed the fair usage," says a Vodafone spokesperson.
A similar case occurred last month in Canada, where 22 year old Piotr Staniaszek received a £40,000 phone bill for using his mobile phone as a modem to download movies to his laptop.
