    Your booster ran out & you are being charged pays rates.I don't think you get an e-mail when the booster runs out.Just keep a note of the date to renew.

    I personally enjoy being on T-mobile.Their data coverage is great.No complaints at all from me.

    I was on T-Mobile PAYG with a smartphone and once my contract runs out I will be again.

    What you want to do is

    1) Turn mobile data off to avoid chewing your credit

    2) Top up by at least £20 (online you seem to be able to do any amount, I did £21 to leave £1 credit)

    3) Text 6MONTHWEB to 441

    4) Wait for the confirmation text

    5) Put a calendar reminder in to buy it again in 6 months.

    I considered Internet for £3.33 a month a very good offer.

    Hi Rochdale

    Sorry have been away for a while myself!! Yes thats correct we have a capped data rate limited to £1 per day so thats what the charge will be for. The coupon entries are just logs of each time your handset accesses the internet and unfortunately no there isnt a notification when it runs out. On the newer plans if you top up 15 quid a month internet is thrown in for free as well as unlimited txts ;)

    Thanks.

    ...but how do I know what amount of data I have used? :p
    .
  • I've never found a way of seeing what I've used with T-Mobile, having said that I've not been charged for extra data either.

    I use NetCounter on my Android phone.
