Back in July when David Pogue received his first iPhone bill, he was extremly surprised to see that his bill was nine pages long. The majority of those nine pages were dedicated to a list of every single data transfer—no matter how small—that occurred during the billing period. If you thought that was bad, it’s nothing compared to Justine Ezarik’s (iJustine) iPhone bill.

Back in the July, I posted about David Pogue’s bill. I created a picture of a truck with a box on back of it reading “iPhone Bill” as a joke. The funny thing is that Justine’s bill actually did come in a box. Her bill was composed of close to 300 pages filled with text messages, calls and data transfers. Even free calls, texts etc. showed up on the bill. As Apple 2.0’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt puts it “Perhaps not the best use of dead trees, especially in the service of a company (Apple) whose board includes Al Gore.” The solution to this tree-hungry problem? Have AT&T bill you online. Save the trees kids.
