I was with Vodafone in the past, found them to be absolute ***** of the highest order and really act as if they are a law unto themselves.
In this case
1. the customer told vodafone that the phone was missing
2. Vodafone should have blocked the sim card once the call volume and cost broke what might be considered a reasonable amount.
If I was the punter, I would initiate legal proceedings.
I can guarantee that vodafone have screwed with his credit rating as well, which he'll also have to go through the courts to sort out.Coffee's for closersComment

The guy was obviously an idiot as he did not report phone stolen after the first bill - in retrospect it was all his fault and he is totally liable for the bill as he acted like a complete idiot.

Pay as You Go anyone? I've been on that for years. Never put more than £10 on it at any time and buy simfree phones.
I got turned off these mobile phone companies when I had a discussion with someone at Orange...I was told "I could care less about you, as long as Orange is paying my mortgage that's all I care about" - I knew what tulipe I was dealing with.
I've been on PAYG ever since.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
