The £10 data Big bundle - HELP!

[GrumpyOldGit13]

Hi guys....

I'm probably old enough to be your grandad, so please accept my apologies for this "rookie" question.

I've spent nearly 3 hours on "Live Chat" trying to get a clear answer to what I thought were two simple questions:-

1. In the £10 data Big Bundle, what UK numbers are included in my 500 minutes monthly allowance?.

I ask because if you look at the tariff, it says, for example 35p/min to UK landlines, but it doesn't say "after you have used up your monthly minutes allowance". I dont expect premium rate numbers to be included, and I expect the usual "0800" numbers to be free.

Looking at the charges, it looks like the majority of calls are relatively expensive compared to the "1/2/3 PAYG tariff", which can't be the case (can it?).

The other thing which isn't clear is :-

2. How to pay for the bundle.

OK, it's my first smart phone and I'm approaching 70, so I was sort of hoping to set up a standing order for £10/month, but reading the details it just keeps saying "until your credit runs out".

So how do I top it up? Do I have to remember to cal 4444? And what happens if I exceed any of the allowances and I have no credit left?

Does the phone cut out?

Do I get a sudden bill for the excess?

Do a herd of centaurs gallop past my window bearing a banner reading "Burn the Warlock"?

It's all quite confusing, so can any kind soul help a befuddled old fool?

Hi @GrumpyOldGit13

Gods Own County is Yorkshire or so my Gran used to tell me?

Though I have Irish friends who claim it's wherever they live in Ireland.

The fact you say it's a FREE app points to Yorkshire to me...

Thanks for the info anyway. I'm sure it will be helpful to many ...

How dare you suggest that God's Own County could be anywhere except Yorkshire?

Just to warn you to be very careful @GrumpyOldGit13

One of my closest friends and a senior member on this forum is @jonsie A Lancastrian...

I say this as you may need his help on here one day....

As for me? I'm a Coventry 'kid'.  My 'adopted' Grandma lived in South Elmsall in Yorkshire.

You have my deepest sympathy.

I'm sure you wouldn't have to try too hard to get a real friend!

Hi @GrumpyOldGit13 ... you have a cracking sense of humour ...  ... and yes, I can be a bit of a grumpy old git too  here on the O2 Community ... = ... the regulars, some of whom you have met, on this your thead, know I can 'throw a monk' as-it-were  ... I am a permanent tech novice, but eg @Cleoriff @jonsie @darrengf & member of the admin team @EmilieT who have posted on your thread are very very knowledgeable about tech

Pop over to the Virtual Lounge in Off-Topic there'll be a pint of best bitter waiting for you
