Dispute Roaming Charges

I recently landed in Switzerland to discover, within minutes that £5 then another £5 were added to my account in data charges.

I would like to know how this happened since my new phone has never had the data roaming switched on.

How do I raise a complaint for recovery of these incorrect charges?

As an side, £5 for 3Mb?! Extortionate comes to mind.

Hi @Mr John Pearson 

 

Usage of your iD Mobile plan while in a non-inclusive zone (such as Switzerland) will incur extra costs unless your bill cap is set at £0 or roaming services turned off in your iD Mobile app/website account.

 

If you’ve been charged extra, your bill cap is high enough to allow charges and roaming is switched on in your iD Mobile app/website account.

Which is my point entirely. Roaming was NOT switched on. It is a new phone and by default roaming is off.

I did not turn roaming on until well into France.

Who do I send an official complaint to?
