Orange - Massive data bill abroad

cnrmc1

Data bill for Sept bill is now sitting at £1100 at the moment, I know data can take anything up to 3 months but does anyone know roughly how long it should all take to come through? It was last used in Greece on Tuesday so it's been 5days! Just hoping it will stop soon.

Well first thing tomorrow is to contact orange. Was it really necessary to check facebook. Next time either leave the phone at home or dont use the mobile data.

How does this work with PAYG? I've just got a smart phone on Orange PAYG specifically to take away so that I know I won't run up any bills, as I presumed if/when my credit runs out that's it. Is this not correct?

I believe PAYG is safe.

I have contacted Orange however I need to wait until 3rd Sept when the bill comes out and they can investigate. No it wasn't a necessity however Orange advised me I could get a bundle which would cover the cost so it didn't look like it would be a problem to check it ?

yes payg is safe, once your credit is up thats it no more can be taken, your credit may well run out faster than normal, ive done it myself.

Or just monitor your data use.

I've been home ill, so i've been on facebook a lot today. Sent some emails. Played some wordfued and even downloaded a few work emails. I've used 5mb so far.
