Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. Recently visited Australia and I was out of credit (through roaming charges again). I put a £20 top up on at 06:46, went online and posted a single photo and status to Facebook and I then got another message from O2 at 06:52 saying I was once gain out of credit. I only have a couple of Apps set to use mobile data, no calls were made or received - the only thing was a single Facebook update (admittedly from Bondi Beach) and BANG ... £20 of credit is gone in a few seconds. Is this normal ...?

Unfortunately yes
Data abroad esp outside of EU is very expensive. Around £6 mb from memory.

Hi @Anonymous It would have been very expensive. Australia is a Zone 5 country and these are the costs
You would have been far better using Wifi and sending pictures via messenger etc etc
