I'm no lawyer, but wouldn't the debt incurred be payable by the person who registered the SIM card?
I guess, but the SIM has since become invalid (on telstra, you can revive a SIM and keep the same number). I could just claim that I lost my phone, it was pre-paid, they wouldn't care.

Lol... You can win that easily if you have common sense, logic and a laptop connected to the internet with google XD.

Edit: And a desire to go through a month of texting. Curious... How much was each text and how frequent for that month?

It's just so stupid. The people who subscribe deserve the hidden costs imo.

Parents were scared of mobile phones back when we were little...

Plus up until I was what? 5 or 6, they were those big brick phones that were bigger then my hand...
