Hi. I've received an email stating I've used 100% of my allowance and I'll be charged £10.24/100mb of data yet I still have 900mb of data from an add-on remaining (confirmed by the app). Any idea which is right, the app or the text?
Many thanks

Hello @Jons110 ,
So the text you get applies to your inclusive data.
Let's say you had 1GB on your plan.
Once you've used up 800MB, you'll get a text saying 80% of your data allowance has been reached.
Once you've used up 1GB, you'll get a text saying 100% of your data allowance has been reached.
If you purchase an add-on when you still have remaining data, your inclusive data would be used up first and then your add-on.
This can lead to a text being sent when you've used up your data (but you know you had an add-on active.
The correct allowance will be what shows on the app.
Have you had any recent charges applied?

Hi. Thanks for the quick response.
I understood the way add-on's worked i.e allowance first the add-on etc, I just thought that the system would have realised a add-on was in use and therefore not sent the txt or possibly sent a different one. I wanted to clarify the situation due to the astronomical charges for going over your limit.
There have been no charges added to my account so all's well.
Cheers, Jons110

Hello @Jons110 ,
Thanks for confirming this.
In the app, (if you haven't already) you should be able to set a spend cap, so even if you did go over, it'll be capped at the limit you set (minimum £5.00).
Take a look at setting this up if it's not already in place.
