On the news post I posted previously, Cheveon Alonzo was arrested for calling 911 from his mobile as it is a free call and now a Polish bus driver was fired for sending too much text messages from his company mobile.
Well, it was not cheap to send 38,000 text messages on his company cell phone in a losing effort to win contest jackpot. He wanted to buy a new car with the jackpot money if he had own it but he lost his job in return.
Leszek Wojcik, a bus driver in the northwestern Polish city of Slupsk, ran up a tab of some 94,000 zlotys ($34,000) with his text messages while trying to win a 100,000-zloty ($36,000) SMS contest that ended June 30, Slupsk city transport spokesman Hubert Boba told The Associated Press. Boba said a city bus drivers’ monthly company phone bill is supposed to be limited to 15 zlotys ($5).
Wojcik sent an average of 1,200 SMS text messages a day, each costing 2.40 zlotys ($0.86), on his work cell phone. (source)
