Hi everyone,
I've got a very small data cap on my current pay monthly plan (100mb) because I'm rarely outside of wifi coverage. If I hit the limit, it has never been an issue before because O2 have just slowed down the service in the past. So when I had an iPhone, this meant that iMessage still worked. Now that I have an Android, it means that Hangouts would still work. The internet was generally unusable for other purposes, but texting is all I really use it for outside of wifi anyway.
This month seems to be different though. My bill is due to reset within the next couple of days, and I hit the cap this evening by accident. I noticed that immediately hangouts could no longer sent or received, and every attempt to access a website was replaced with this: www.o2.co.uk/data-allowance
Everything on their website still says "once you reach the limit you'll receive a slower service", nothing indicates that you'll be cut off immediately. I've received no emails or letters saying that they've changed my service either. Does anyone have any idea what's happened/going on?
