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.
