I searched for a mobile number that called me and sent two WhatsApp messages and I’ve been charged £45 whilst in Switzerland. Can I see my visage to show what I’ve actually been charged for as I only had my roaming on for a few moments?

Your bill has a breakdown of all charges.

Roaming in Switzerland costs £1.50 per megabyte. Therefore £45 will cover 30MB of data usage.

Hi ​@WelshPaul ,

 

Thank you for your message. I can confirm that your bill includes a full breakdown of all charges, including calls, texts, and data usage.

For reference, roaming in Switzerland costs £1.50 per MB, so the £45 charge covers approximately 30MB of data usage.
 

You can view your detailed usage in the iD Mobile app:

Open the app and log in.

Tap Plan > Usage & Bill > View Charges / Itemised Usage.

Check the roaming section for Switzerland to see exactly how the £45 was applied.
 

If you notice any discrepancies, please contact us via Live Chat or Socials with your account number, and we’ll investigate further.

Hi both,

I understand the cost for roaming in Switzerland. But to have switched roaming on for less than 5 mins to send two WhatsApp messages and check a telephone number, I can’t see how that would equate to £45 worth of charges.
