- arp242 3y agoIf I steal your phone or SIM and make a bunch of calls with it, then would the phone company waive the bill if you tell them "this arp242 guy stole my phone"? That's not the phone company's problem. They should have cancelled the SIM card. Radio Poland could, in principle, try to get a reimbursement from that Sudanese person, but good lucking 1) finding them, and 2) actually doing something about it.
- xeyownt 3y agoThe problem is phone companies not implementing usage limit policies. No one should be exposed to unlimited liability.
- soco 3y agoMaybe they do but the user has to enable it and set a limit. At least I have this, and maybe the NGO had the option too but didn't think about it. We don't know.
