London, October 19 : A woman in south Florida got the shock of her life after she received a cellphone bill for $201,000 dollars! Celina Aarons soon learnt that it wasn't a mistake, the Daily Mail reported. Aarons has two brothers who are deaf and dumb. Shamir, the younger one, is in college and doesn't work, and Aarons is especially close to him. The easiest way for them to communicate is by texting. Normally, that's not a problem. Aarons has a data plan and the bill usually comes to about $175. But then Shamir went to Canada for a two-week holiday. Neither Aarons nor her brother thought of changing to an international plan. Between them the two brothers sent over 2,000 texts and also downloaded videos, sometimes racking up $2,000 daily in data charges. On receiving the bill Aarons said: "I asked three, four times. I was like 'Are you serious?'" She told WSVN-Channel 7 News: "I was freaking out. I was shaking, crying. 'I was like my life is over." Read Full: Woman gets $201,000 mobile bill | Siasat
