DATA@

I don’t use it on my phone, why am I being charged to have it?

@marion16 Because all contracts have a data allowance if you choose not to use data that’s up to you.

Thankyou! I suppose it’s that simple really.

I may look for something that doesn’t include DATA.

@marion16 All contract include data. I’m sure even all PAYG tariffs have a data allowance.

Hi there @marion16

Welcome to the community.

Do you have an additional charge for a data add-on?

You will have a data allowance included with your minutes and texts as part of your allowance, this should not be costing you extra.

Thanks.

Leanne 🙂

Thankyou Leanne, it’s part of the deal. But I couldn’t get a cheaper deal, one without DATA. M 🤗👍

I see @marion16

This would be part of the plan, we are unable to remove data from this.

If you have another contract on the same account, you could gift data to them if they would use this 🙂

Leanne.

Hi @marion16 ,

Thank you for bringing your requirement to the community. The below link compares some cheaper options when you do not require data.

You will additionally want to check which of the main mobile networks is used to ensure that you have coverage in the locations where you spend most of your time (ensuring not to port your number until you have ensured the service is as you desire).

I see one option from another service provider as low as GBP 4/mth (PAYG bundle) without data and have verified it still shows on that service provider's website (I cannot speak to the suitability of that network for your locations).

You could get PAYG & switch its packs off & then you can just use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.

Thankyou for your response. I’m on a tariff, but it is resolved now. 🤗
