This friendly feature - i.e the inability to shut a program down in a straightforward way has ensured that my new baby, my new MotoQ has torn me a new one.. It turns out that I turned on Internet Explorer on some unspecified date and left it on for several days - leading to my being billed for 4500 odd minutes of internet usage in about 6 days... A friend of mine was telling me that he had bought his (then) 13 year old daughter a high end phone about 2 years ago. For the next two months he paid bills amounting to Rs 50,000 and 40,000 because she ended up spending a lot of time on the Net on her mobile. And I thought I couldn't be that stupid... shiv
