i get charged so much outside of my bundle for such a short tine

I’m a new Simyo customer and I recently arrived in the Netherlands. I chose Simyo because it was affordable, and as a college student who is both studying and working at the same time, I have to manage my money carefully.

Today, I accidentally used mobile data for almost 30 minutes while on a Discord call with my friend. This caused more than €200 in charges, which has put me in a very difficult financial situation. I only turned on the data cap after I noticed the extra charges.

I’m very worried because I don’t have enough money to pay this much for phone data. Is there anything that can be done to lower the cost or help with this situation?

Hello ​@ImInBigTrouble,

Thank you for your message. I understand how stressful this situation must be, especially as a student managing a tight budget. 

We send a warning SMS at 80% and 100% of your internet bundle usage. If your bundle runs out, you pay € 0,15 per MB, so that can add up quickly. In this case, it seems you missed the SMS messages, that can happen. In any case, it's good that you now have a data cap. That will help you in situations like this and allow you to browse the internet safely.

Would you please send me a private message with your phone number and personal details? Then we can look together to see if we can help you with the high costs.

Kind regards,
Shaniqua
