Solved: Data charges usa - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎14-03-2016

How can I find out if there is a data cap on my account. I went to USA for 5 days, switched off data roaming, received no notification that data reached, and have a £2000.00 bill. How???

If you opt out of the standard cap you are put on the enhanced cap then full unlimited here http://www.o2.co.uk/termsandconditions/mobile/pay-monthly-roaming-bolt-ons so 2 opt outs to get unlimited roaming data. If opted out to unlimited then no 80% 100% warning sms the opt out should show in myo2 in boltons

you must ring 202 to get this resolved

to use £2000 on data will have been. 333.333 mb of data in the USA

iPhone 11 Pro 256gb on unlimited data
iPad Pro 12.9” 2020 256gb refresh o2 family discount
Apple Watch series 4
My first mobile was in 1995 a CM-R111 from sony on Cellnet.

@Anonymous I don't know what type of phone you have, but I have an Android phone and switching off data roaming is not the same as switching my data off completely. There are different buttons for each.

@adamtemp64 wow that's not very much in the grand scheme of things.

I expect you manage to avoid ALL data charges when you are back in the USA @Bambino

Yes, that's absolutely correct @Cleoriff, but I do it by not using an O2 sim at all when I'm there. I use my Three sim which allows me to use my data over there and also calls back to the UK from my UK allowance, and I use a US T-Mobile Pay & Go sim to make calls within the US.

That's called 'Getting it down to a fine art' @Bambino

By the way, @Cleoriff, a Three Pay & Go sim might be a thought for you when you go to Spain, if these new O2 Travel charges start getting out of hand.

I've been trying to get her to use a Three sim in Spain for the last 2 years mate

This might be the moment for a rethink @Cleoriff, particularly with new charges coming in.
