A WOMAN has been jailed for using a stolen SIM card to download almost $200,000 worth of data from the internet.
Kylie Maree Monks, 33, pleaded guilty to computer-related fraud, receiving stolen property and one count of making a false declaration.
In the Supreme Court in Hobart yesterday, Justice Shan Tennent said Monks was given the SIM card which had been taken from an Aurora power meter equipped with a wireless data connection to the Telstra NextG network.
The power company became aware that the SIM had been used without its permission between November 19, 2009, and February 9, 2010, when it received a bill for $193,187.43 from Telstra.
Police spoke to Monks but she initially denied knowing anything about the matter.
Investigators found a laptop which Monks had used to access Facebook using the stolen SIM card.
