You're not alone. This is a thread with a similar problem to yours.

I suggest calling Customer Service on 202 from your phone if you want to dispute the usage. You can also log in to your MyO2 account to see what has been used and when.

Snapchat was apparently to blame on that thread. Are you a snapchat user? Look up your data usage in Settings it should give an idea as to what the culprit is.

 

In the interim, whilst you're trying to resolve the matter, you could turn your data off and just use WiFi, but that obviously depends on how desperately you need data when out and about.

Didn't see that the OP in that thread had solved his own problem. Good heads up @Anonymous Others have also had problems being put on data sharing without their knowledge. Supposedly sorted now by O2, but it's also a possibility. wink

I think rosadosc said the data sharing issue was supposedly sorted...though maybe a few glitches...

Its worrying that this issue has popped up on so many threads recently

Check my post DATA ISSUE... i think there is a problem on the whole with o2's data. I used 80% of 500mb in 5 minutes apparently even though my data was turned off.

Hi @Anonymousand welcome.

 

That shouldn't be happening. Is your data completely turned off?

Fancy writing a great device review or O2 forum guide? Send me a message!

Yes it was completely turned off. Customer services don't have an adequate answer
