o2 didnt charge for gprs until around two months ago, they sent all customers an sms telling them charges would start to be incurred in accordance with their tariffs.
2.35 per mb for older tariffs not changed since since b4 sept 2005. £3 per mb for newer tariffs changed after sept 05 its all in the terms and conditions that gprs would be charged at that rate but since this 'promotion' has ended theres alot of customers who have used the gprs before and not got charged are finding themselvevs with hefty bills like yourself. unfortunately as you have used the service you have to pay for it. call CS i'm pretty sure they can knock some money off it for you but it wont be alot. i feel a payment plan is in order for you but if you arrange one you'll have an outgoing call bar placed until the debt is cleared. apologies this is not what you wanted to hear but this is the procedure. |

Reminds me of this thread
http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=368152 Some good advice given in that thread all the same, including the fact that there have been no known cases yet where people have been charged for GPRS that they have not actually used or at least been responsible for. lobsterman - have you contacted o2 yet and if so, what was their response? |

Has your phone been connecting automatically, have you been checking emails etc?
£600 is like 200mb. If you only have a WAP enabled phone and the use is legitimate then you must know about this. Call o2 they can have the usage checked to see what you did and to see if you did or did not make the data transactions. Incorrect allocation of charges is very rare. |

02 just billed me £350+ for 12 months line rental in advance :S
They told me it's an error, so I've canceled the DD for now can't risk a £40 charge from the Halifax

I have phoned O2 and they cancelled the bill. I just have to pay my normal monthly charge of about £35. I do not use my gprs anymore due to it being expensive. However I will have to see what my bill is this at the end of august to make sure they have sorted it out.
I have heard that O2 are having problems with their billing software and was wondering if anyone had similar unexplained charges. Is it possible for someone to have hijacked my number and used it even though they do not have my handset or sim card? |
