例のiPhone140文字超過課金デマの件についてTwitLongerに聞いてみた

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger Have you ever charge your service? There's a man who insists that he was charged approx. 100 yen with using your service (hoax?)

TwitLonger @twitlonger

@ewa4618 No, never. I have absolutely no way of taking money from users.

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger Thanks for quick reply :-) Then, that story was a HOAX, right?

TwitLonger @twitlonger

@ewa4618 Sounds like it. Do you have a link to those claims?

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger Yep, but only in Japanese though.

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger Here's the hoax post (in Japanese) http://bit.ly/dp55rF

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger That was just an example. Seems like that man has been repeatedly posted the hoax.

TwitLonger @twitlonger

@ewa4618 Google Translate is sketchy at best, could he be talking about data transfer costs when roaming or something?

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger Nop, what he says it that you charge up to 100 yen via SoftBank Mobile (Japanese iPhone carrier) when users use your service.

TwitLonger @twitlonger

@ewa4618 Clearly bonkers then :)

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

@twitlonger Got it :-) Sorry for taking your time!

■bonkers {形} : 狂気の、気が狂って（英辞郎調べ）

TwitLonger @twitlonger

@ewa4618 No problem, thank you for letting me know.

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

つーわけでTwitLongerの公式アカウントに「おたくのサービス使うごとにSBM経由で課金されてると言ってる奴がいるが本当か？」と聞いてみたら「そいつは気が狂ってる」との返答でした。あとでまとめます。

E-WA／いーわ @ewa4618

あと可能性としては「SBM側でサイト間転送の手数料を取っている」と主張してくるかもしれないけど、iPhoneユーザの皆さんならよくご存知のとおり、そんな手数料はありませんね。
