DATA usage problem

Hello

I'm being told I have used all of my data when I have not. I get 10GB and have only used about 4.7 yet I've had a text off O2 saying they've turned my data off because it has all been used. My biggest use this month is Dropbox at approx 1.3GB.

I have 5GB plus another 5GB add on that expires November 2021.

I cannot get hold of customer service unless I upgrade or cancel my contract. What on earth am I supposed to do?

Has your bolt on ended?

You'll need to try any number to get through Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Nothing should have ended. I've used 4.5 GB. If it were about 9.5 then I wouldn't have made a fuss. Something obvious isn't set up properly their end

How long have you had the contract and from where?

Data bolt ons have been lost for everyone who purchased indirect from O2.

You need to call customer service to have it added to your account again Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support

I already phoned customer service and she said everything was all in order and I had genuinely used 10gb data. She said the phone data usage in settings is inaccurate. I said yes I'm aware of that but there's a bit of a difference between 4.5gb and 10gb

In the end she added a complimentary 1GB to the account. I even asked if I could upgrade the data on the contract for an extra charge and she said it is possible but not in my case with this particular contract.

What a shambles. I left Three (who id been with for about 6 years) because I'd heard good things about O2. As soon as both my contracts end I'll be straight out the door. Never had a single issue with Three in all the 6 years I was with them.

Thanks for the help anyway.
