 Hi ​@Bloke,

 

Sorry to hear about the confusion with your data usage, I can understand why that’s worrying, especially after taking steps to avoid any charges.

 

What may have happened is that, in the short time between arriving in Brazil and switching your roaming/data settings off or adjusting your bill cap, some background activity (like app refreshes, emails, or system services on your iPhone) could have used a small amount of data. Even brief usage like this can sometimes be recorded and show against your allowance in the iD Mobile app.

 

The charge for using your iD Mobile allowances in Brazil can be found here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/international-and-roaming-charges

 

It’s also worth noting that usage reporting isn’t always instant, so some activity may appear slightly later than when it actually occurred.

 

As this is a public platform, I’m not able to access or check your account details directly. For a full breakdown and to get this looked into properly, I’d recommend reaching out to our Live Chat team here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat, they’ll be able to investigate this for you in more detail and provide clarity on the charges.

 

Regards,
