Data overcharging

Anonymous
Not applicable

I got a new pay as you go sim with £10 on it with a data rate of 1p a MB

 

Quickly used up the credit and I was very surprised, went to see how much data I had used and my phone said just over 300MB (should be £3 of data) whilst I had used next to zero calls or texts so it seems I hve been overcharged, how can I resolve this?

The only way is to call customer services on 4445 or http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus but we do know that the data on the classic PAYG sim is charged initially at £1.00 a session and then refunded back at the 1p per mb rate once the actual usage has been calculated, so you might see some adjustment to your balance anyway.

Yes I called up the customer service and they refunded me the lost credit, they didn't know why I was overcharged though

Keep your eye on it now to see if it sorts itself out or not.
