Which cost me a fortune once when I plugged my phone into laptop to charge (before free global roaming). Dropbox had been blocked for a week, suddenly a flurry of sms arrived (out of order). I’d spent £250 in 3 minutes.

I feel for you. Why would you allow laptop traffic to be routed through the phone though? At least in iOS plugging the phone for charging or backup does not automatically tether.

		I often tether off my phone so has tethering enabled, just hasn’t charged from the laptop in all that time Wasn’t a lot in the end scheme of things - less that the cost of a night in the hotel, let alone the full trip

Why was it blocked for a week? Not sure I understand what happened to you.
