He's lying.....or pulling a Bill Clinton about the definition of "off"

I was in London and my bill only shows the data I pulled in. I didn't turn my phone off, but simply turned settings to "manual" email check at night and "check every 1 hour" during the day. I have no charges at night and charges every hour during the day, plus at some other times that I used the web and/or made calls.

By "off" he must mean he made no calls - which it was very clear is not Off. If he was truly at sea, he should have shut the power off, or set his email data check to "manual". I change my settings a couple of times a day (at the gym, at home, etc.) - It's not hard.

I know all sorts of people who wound up with $1,000 phone bills when they first got their cellphones 5-10 years ago when the minute plans were more stingy. This guy wasn't paying attention. And frankly, if he can afford a cruise to Europe, he ought to bite the bullet, admit he was a dope, and pay the bill.....after all, what kind of idiot sets his phone to get email every 15 minutes if he isn't going to use it? And how, exactly, did his phone stay charged for a week or two at a time? Something is fishy here.
