It has already happened once, and now the phantom arrival of significant amounts of SMSs arriving on an account balance has happened again. This time to Nathan at Fit for Public Consumption.

After topping up his device, so as to continue utilising the Skype calls, Nathan noticed an anomaly. When logging in to check his balance, rather than the 240 SMS’s that should of been there, they had been joined by another 239,760. For those who struggle with numbers that is a total of 240,000.

Obviously this incident holds remarkable similarities to Scott Yang’s experience, notably both occurring down under. Maybe Nathan and Scott could text one another indefinitely, for the rest of time. That said, with Nathan working out that his random accreditation of 240,000 texts is worth a cool $60,000, lets just hope 3 Australia don’t ask for the monetary value back…
