Everyone remembers the novelty of their first mobile phone. While yours may have been a chunky Nokia 3310 with space for just 10 text messages, smartphones these days are all-singing and all-dancing.
So you can imagine an eight-year-old’s sheer delight at getting one for Christmas. It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that young Macie Bullen-Jones ploughed through her data allowance less than a month after receiving her new phone. As is customary when this happens, Macie then got the dreaded text from O2 to alert her to the fact she’d been enthusiastic with her data use. What’s a girl to do in this situation? Macie could have waited it out for till her allowance refreshed. Or potentially have paid to top it up.
