Yesterday my new iPhone was delivered, yay! Today, I am cycling to the gym listening to music and by the time I get to my workout (20 mins cycle) I have received an SMS that 80% of my bundle has been used. This feels impossible as I still had 6GB the day before. By the time I have swiped into the gym and gotten to my Locker, another sms that my SIM card is blocked until I pay over €100!

 

Mijn Simyo app won’t let me log in and so I can’t see what is happening or why my sim card is blocked. Could there be a problem with my new iPhone? I can’t even log into to see the bill but my email says minimum €100. What do I do?

Hi @Helen_94,

Thank you for your message. How sorry to hear that you incurred charges outside your bundle due to internet usage!

We always send alert messages at 80% and 100% usage of your data bundle. These text messages come directly from the network and are always leading. In the last text message we also clearly indicate what the tariff is from that moment on (€0.15 per MB) and that it is wise to turn off the internet or to buy an internet bundle. From Simyo, we do our best to warn our customers in time. If you have incurred high costs outside your bundle within a short period of time, we block your SIM card as a precaution and send an e-mail about this. 

Due to privacy laws, we cannot see where your MBs have been used. However, you can often find this out via the settings in your phone. I recommend looking in the settings of your phone to find the cause of your high usage. With an iPhone, this is often more difficult, but you can see which apps use the most MBs in your phone via the settings.

Indeed, we recently introduced the option to enable a data cap for €0.50 cents per month. This allows you to prevent you from incurring charges outside your bundle again due to internet usage. We have also created a topic on the forum with detailed information about the data cap. However, you should enable it yourself via My Simyo if you wish.

I understand that the charges were not made intentionally. Would you send me a private message with your 06 number and personal details? I will then be happy to see what we can do for you to resolve this together.

Greetings,
