Excessive Charges for a Mistake Travelling in Japan

Returned from Japan a week ago after 3 weeks, only to find that we had racked up £73 of charges on our two O2 Business accounts. My wife made the mistake of texting me on messaging simple messages such as lost, where are you, etc. O2 charged £7.50 a day for that. No empathy from customer services, or an acknowledgement that these charges are extortionate.

Unfortunately, all roaming charges are made clearly available on the web.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Seems you are blaming your wife and blaming O2. You're in business so maybe you should have checked.

Still, at least the charges are tax deductible  

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
