Hi Simyo, I landed in Turkey and incurred 60.50€ in charges landing within Turkey in just 5 minutes. These charges were incurred before I even realised and the messages were sent to me, when I disabled flight mode. I immediately turned off my data roaming upon receiving the warning messages but €48.40 was already charged for just using 12MB for data unintentionally. The first warning message was sent to me when I incurred €48.40 on messages, but when I turned off my data, another warning message stated that I had already incurred €60.50 worth of charges. There was no message of the rates in Turkey like the messages I would usually receive when I crossed borders I spoke to a customer service agent and they were not really helpful and quite passive aggressive, sometimes sarcastic to my situation, saying “Too bad I didn’t receive the border message this time but it was sent.” What? She agreed to reimburse €12.74 out of €60.50, that is not nearly satisfactory for a cost that I did not intentionally incur and had not received warning messages about. 

Is there any further help I can get? 5€/MB is not the normal rate and the help I got so far was truly disappointing.

Hello ​@jojohops,

Thank you for your message. I understand that you are a bit shocked of the costs outside the bundle. I'm sorry to read that you had a bad experience with our customer service. 

I see that you already got a compensation on some of the costs because the border message was send to late. How strange that you did not receive this message at all! I see that we send this on 04-01-2025 at 19:09. You can also always find all rates for when you go abroad trough this page.

Can you send me a private message with your personal information? Then i can check if there is something else we can do about the costs. 

Greetings,
Amy
