Surprise Usage of Cellular Data

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am a very relatively low user of network data as I spend most of my time in a wi-fi zone so I was very surprised when suddenly between 22 and 24 August 2013 I discovered that I had used all of my 100 MB allowance – no unusual behaviour, no big downloads. From then on I kept the cellular data firmly off.

When my billing cycle began again on 22 September 2013 I looked to confirm that I now had a new allocation of 100MB. I imagine my surprise to see that, according to the 'My O2' app, I had already used my entire 100MB allowance even though the cellular data option had been turned off for that period.

Something bizarre is going on here. I suspect it is to do with Apple no O2 but can anyone help?

As the OP has stated that cell data was turned off I imagine it must be a system error.

CS should sort it for you.....

The OP said they turned off cell data after they realised the allowance had gone though, so initially something was using the data.


Please read carefully the first post, in particular:

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.
