Can there be something done about the high unexpected bill?

Dear Simyo,

 

I noticed that my SIM card has been blocked due to high out-of-bundle costs. According to my usage overview, I used 1.475 MB outside my bundle in October, which resulted in a charge of over €200.

 

I wasn’t aware that I had exceeded my data bundle and I didn’t have a data limit set. Could you please explain how these costs were calculated?

 

I would also like to kindly ask if there is any possibility to reduce or reimburse (part of) this amount, as it happened unexpectedly.

 

Thank you very much for your help and understanding.

 

Kind regards,

Yelena Renzi

Hello ​@Yelena,

Thank you for your message. I understand that you are shocked by these high costs.

To avoid extra costs we always send two warning messages. If no action is taken after these messages you will pay €0,15 per MB as ​@Friesian mentioned. You can also add a datacap to your subscription for €0,50 per month. Here you can read more about our datacap. 

Can you send me a private message with your personal information? Then i will have look to see if we can do something about the costs! 

Bedankt voor jullie re​@Friesian en ​@JanD.

Greetings,
Amy

Hi ​@Yelena  good evening. 

I can fully understand that you were unhappy surprised by the amount of out of bundle costs. I would anyhow. 😎

The out of bundle costs that are calculated are €0,15/MB.

So €0,15 x 1475MB = +/- €200,-.

After the weekend an employee, moderator shall contact you via this topic and will decide after an asked PM with your personal details and looks into the system if there 's a  coulance possibility. 

One chanel conversation has the  preference. 

However you can also contact the helpdesk (in the weekend 10:00 - 17:00) via WhatsApp.

Succes!  And don' t let this spoil your (free) weekend.

By the way a compliment for the way you wrote, a very kind written topic!

Beste ​@Friesian persoonlijk zou ik nooit over coulance of tegemoetkoming beginnen.

Eerder heb ik het er over dat een klant eventueel een betalingsregeling aan kan vragen als de kosten niet in 1 keer betaald kunnen worden.

Het is de verantwoordelijkheid van iedere klant zelf om het verbruik in de gaten te houden.

Ik heb geen zin om als medeklant aan de coulance en tegemoetkoming van andere klanten mee te betalen, want dat doen we indirect wel met al die tegemoetkomingen en coulances die verstrekt worden.

Dat is jouw goed recht ​@JanD . Verschillende mensen verschillende wensen. Natuurlijk heb je wel een goed punt.

Maar ik schreef daarom ook dat een medewerker zal kijken of er een mogelijkheid is tot coulance. Elke situatie is weer anders en wordt individueel getoetst.

Goedemorgen trouwens.
