Net boo-boo to cost SingTel $200,000
SINGAPORE -- Christmas came early for more than 300 SingTel customers who stumbled onto a fantastic deal which will have them paying next to nothing for brand new Nokia 6610 mobile telephones.
A webpage which should have still been under construction went live, allowing surfers to make reservations for Nokia's latest offering for just $60 for a one-year subscription and free for a two-year plan.
The correct price should be $728 and $668 respectively.
More than 300 customers placed their orders and SingTel, which is Singapore's largest mobile phone provider with over 1.5 million subscribers, said it would honour the deals.
'For customers who submitted their reservations for the mobile phone and who received an e-mail reply that their reservations were received, SingTel will entertain the reservations based on the prices indicated on the webpage,' said its spokesman.
'SingTel is committed to delivering on its promise.'
It may be the festive season, but the mistake will cost SingTel about $200,000.
