Data Usage

[PamT]

I received an SMS message from O2 on 4 September 2018 informing me that I had used 80% of my monthly 500mb data allowance. As I never use anywhere near my allowance, I was very concerned especially as I was only 7 days into my billing month. I have checked through my mobile apps and usage & can find no justification for this sudden spike. The only thing that occured during the time of the alleged usage was when the O2 signal went down owing to trouble with a local mast. I would welcome comments.

Ah well a mast being down would account for the spike in usage @PamT

Pleased O2 offered you a goodwill gesture though.

I’m confused.. how would a signal outage account for a spike in use, surely it should be the other way round or have I missed something ?

No you have missed nothing @Anonymous It was a mistake on my part. I thought oh yes use more mobile data...which of course is nonsense. Still you all can have a good laugh at my schoolgirl error. I won't mind at all....Happy days...

Not laughing at all, but I did wonder if it was one of the causes of this mysterious data swallowing act that O2 seems to have!
