Texting costs Polish bus driver his job
A city bus driver in Poland has been fired for sending $34,000 in text messages from his company cell phone.
Leszek Wojcik ran up the bill by by sending more than 38,000 SMS messages, about 1,200 a day, in an effort to win a contest, according to a report by the Associated Press.
The Slupsk city bus driver told a local radio station that he hoped to win the contest so he could buy a second car.
The cell phone was only supposed to have a $5 limit, a spokesman for the Slupsk city transportation agency told the AP.
