Hi,
I ran out of data yesterday at 22.46 and had a text from ID to say so. I turned off my roaming instantly as my data refreshed today and therefore didn’t purchase an add on. At 23.12 I had a text message from ID to day is reached 80% of my capped limit. How is this possible as I turned my roaming off as soon as the first message came through?
I need this charge removed as I acted instantly when my data ran out.

Hi @Nhaggar1 ,
This isn't good to hear! When you say you turned off your roaming, was this the "Data Roaming" option within your phone settings?
Are you currently outside of the UK? This would only turn your data off when you're abroad and not when in the UK.

Hi @Nhaggar1 ,
Thanks for explaining, it is referred to as Mobile Data as you mention in your second message. Roaming is a term only used when outside of the UK. 🙂
If you had been using mobile data right up until the out of allowance message, then it is possible that you used more than your allowance due the SMS message not being an instant reminder. To ensure that no extra usage occurs in the future, you can set the cap to £0 or by keeping an eye on your allowances using our iD Mobile app.

Hi Ryan,
But it if I turned it off instantly, within literally seconds of it coming through, is £4.52 a reasonable charge? The point of that text is to be able to react to it which I did. Seems pretty poor of ID to charge so quickly when I reacted instantly?
