    What espresso said.

    You're the thicko here.

    So what if you were using it for months. You were still breaking the terms and conditions. It's like stealing from the same shop for 6 months without being caught and then being caught. And you're angry at the shop?

    You used an adblock service, you now have no service.

    I've been using Ovivio just fine and haven't used any credit with them. Oh and i follow the T&C.

    The point Custardy was making is that as a user of Samba you fully understand the platform of the ad's funding the service ;)

    The fact of trying to use a service and bypassing the ad's using a blocker is hardly fair to Ovivo

    I understand Samba, I am using it right now and I have no complaints about them any more. I have in excess of 5Gb at the mo. I would not write off adblock in connection with them either.

    Ive used Ovivo and wouldnt dream of using an adblocker for the simple fact for getting 750mb of free data for a one off fee of £15 I can live with the ads.

    Why couldn't you just live with the ads like everyone else ?

    I am absolutely livid.

    You are just wrong and making a fool of yourself. Clearly you don't care about that.
    You just hoped to stir up some bad publicity for Ovivo and have only succeeded in making yourself look bad.

    The T&C contain no reference to a warning. So why should they warm you?
    I think everyone here agrees that it serves you right, not because you used an AdBlocker, but because of your atrocious behaviour to all and sundry on this thread once you saw that it wasn't going your way.
    You are wrong, so just accept it gracefully and move on or write and apologise to Ovivo, rather than attempt to denigrate their product. Clearly you were happy with it, as you appear to be very angry at it's withdrawal.
    So be angry if you want, but realise that you should be angry with yourself.

    Idiotic question and it is 500 Mb.

    Ah, another T&C addict who cannot be bothered to read what I wrote. They said they warned me.

    Yes, I was happy with the service and I am livid because no one can phone me and I know people will have tried today.

    This is the first time that you have mentioned this.

    But even if they didn't, you clearly understood how the service is funded and chose to bypass the advertisements.
    So you only have yourself to blame.
    Whether you read the T&C or not has nothing to do with it. But if you had read the T&C you would have known it was coming.
    The T&C is the warning.

    Disregarding the fact that you couldn't be RRsed to read the terms and conditions, you've still got three months use out of Ovivo for 15 quid. I call a fiver a month a bargain.

    But, if you like, you can have my old Virgin PAYG phone wot I was daft enough to buy in May. Calls are only 40p a minute. :j
