Stealing money from account

[Anonymous]

Why does O2 take money from your pay and go account for data use you don't ask for. They don't give you an option to decline it. It's a form of stealing from your account

You need to turn off mobile data on your phone.
How does O2 know you don't want to use data? They are only providing the service your phone is requesting.

Your post is close to libellous!

Turn the data off and the problem is solved.

Why should they be responsible for you not finding out how the phone works and what it does?

If you'd done a search in the forum before posting your absurd statement you would have seen numerous posts about the data being used on your phone and how to control it.

So much easier to write rubbish rather than follow the rules tho 😞

Or alternatively add data via a bundle or via a different tariff

One permanent way to stop connection is to Purposefully changing the apn settings within your phone.

The problem is that the data is switched off.

If your data is switched off, then how could you be using any? What phone do you have and what specifically have you done to switch off your data?

It's a galaxy ace. The data roaming box is not ticked. It's only happened the last 4 days in a row since changing the SIM card into this new phone

I may be wrong but data roaming is for when your using your phone in another country.

You need to turn off mobile data
