Data roaming charges for outside the EU when in fact I was in the EU with receipts to proove it!

Anonymous

O2 have decided to charge me over £75 for my bill this month when normally I would pay £36. Apparently I have been in Norway!? which is outside of the EU. So I have been charged £20 of data roaming outside of the EU when in fact I was in France and Belgium which is very much part of the EU.

When queried with O2 - they tell me it's because I have been in Norway - I have never been to Norway in my life. When I explained this this I was told I was in Norway and the charges are correct.

I am very angry about this as my friend that travelled with me is on O2 and she didn't incur any charges at all.

I received texts from O2 saying:

"Relax in Europe with O2 travel. You'll never pay more than £1.99 per day for data. Check your email, Facebook, Twitter and BBC News. Now you can keep your data switched on"

O2 are refusing to refund me the incorrect charges as they deem them to be correct...

Not acceptable.

I am waiting to hear back but am told it will take 5 days?

Is this good customer service? NO!

It just gets better and better. It would give O2 much more credibility if they shut live chat down at least whilst they underwent some training....!!!
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.

I have just phoned 202 and they have said they will look in to it but it will take 5 days because the Technical team need to look in to my where about as they "can't take my word for it" even though it clearly says I was on the phone 11mins before I was supposed to be data roaming in Norway!!??
