For those who own an iPhone, take extra precaution should you head off overseas for a holiday while carrying one. Certain iPhone users have already been billed a handsome amount for data usage while they're vacationing. Take Jay Levy for example - he amassed a $4,800 bill in data charges from AT&T because of overseas email updates that he didn't know was billable. 68-year old Herbert Kliegerman from New York was slapped with a $2,000 bill while visiting Mexico. Just be a little bit extra careful before you go overseas the next time with an iPhone - alternatively, you can always not carry your handset there and pick up a prepaid line instead.
