Yeah. A smidge under 4 GB and it's was a five figure cost? That is complete bullshit. We all know the actual costs are miniscule. It's mad price gouging because most people don't need to roam and thus they can can prey on it. It shouldn't be possible to get anywhere close to that kinda bill without multiple explicit approvals where the costs are clearly communicated (I can't tell if they were).
