• Karanjeet Kaur Johal, a UK entrepreneur, received a staggering £153,000 mobile bill after a 12-day business trip to San Francisco.
• The bill, totaling £57,386 for May and £96,098 for June, included a single call charged at £37,000.
• She claims to have requested a £100 data cap, but her provider, Currys Business, found no record of it.
