@LLOYDB50 

International bolt ons only work whilst in UK.

If you travel to a non O2 travel zone, data is £7.20 + vat per mb.

Your UK allowances don't work in those zones.

Well somehow, maybe the wifi dropped out, but you've used around 21mb.

This sounds like WhatsApp has done its backup, when it was back online, its quick and you wouldnt even know it was run, if it didnt have a connection issue.
Current Phone: Motorola Razr 5g
I also have a Planet Computers Gemini

I work in IT as an Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration Tools Administrator (Office 365, Slack and much much more) and manage hardware both Mobile and Desktop / laptop, my desk is a bit like PC World
