Data charges

Anonymous
Not applicable

Today I received a message from O2 stating I had used £1 of data.  My phone is not wifi enabled and I have never made an internet connection.  I live alone and the phone is always kept indoors. My phone usage amounts to two or three texts per month.  The tariff I am on is "talkalot" (pay and go).  Is there something in the small print which would let O2 charge me for data when I have no internet connection, or is it a bit more sinister and is the result of someone making illegal use of my account.

Wifi being turned on shouldn't incur charges ...its free. Is mobile data turned on?

You need wifi on and mobile data off.

Thanks for the post.  I got this Nokia 635 Lumia as a present, about three months ago.  I had never had a mobile before, so I am unfamiliar with settings.  In the settings list I have found Mobile+Sim, APN, VPN and Data sense, all of which I have switched off.  Do you think I have got it right?, or am I missing something.

The important one is the data connection toggle under mobile + sim.
