What should I do to repent from using free internet – due to a technical glitch – from a government company, knowing that I cannot return the money to the state?

The questioner is thanked for his eagerness to repent and his desire to free himself from the unlawful. He must pay for his unauthorized use of the phone service to the company. If that is not possible, then he should donate the equivalent amount to the poor and needy, and he should endeavor to ascertain the correct amount to clear his conscience. There is no blame on him if his father gives him the money. He must refrain from using the service in the future without subscribing, because the negligence of officials does not permit such use.
