O2 roaming text

[Anonymous]

I believe I have been charged £1.66 to access the O2 roaming text sent whilst abroad recently. It's the only time I accessed my phone as I kept it on flight mode the whole time I was away as I had charges against my account once before. (On that occasion I was told by two different chat advisors this charge would be wiped but it wasn't)

Flight mode or airplane mode when toggled on cuts off all data connection with any mobile network.

When enabled, it allows you to still listen to music or watch video's on your phone without interfering with the planes equipment.
You can also enable flight mode and turn wifi on to use phone only when connected to a wifi hotspot removing the risk of any roaming charges at all when abroad.
Obviously sms messages won't be received but whatapp and bbm etc will be received.

Well....I am speechless. I knew it was used on planes...but had no idea what for...I had no clue that it could be used when you are off a plane for the reason you say

Every day's a school day for me....
