Data allowance

Hi 

 

I have a pay as you go mobile mifi device and everything has been fine until new years eve I topped it up £15 to buy an add on but it never went on so phoned EE who said they were having issues with top ups and it should be on by the afternoon and it wasn't and I needed to get online so I phoned again and I phoned again but this time the man I spoke to said since I need to get online and he doesn't know how long it will take for the top up to him on so he said I'll give you free data for the month so you can get back online he said he's putting 20GB free to use that month and once it expires or I use it up whichever comes first I can use my add-ons as normal.

 

However at the time I was just happy it was solved but then once the month had passed it started again and said recurring data allowance and I was confused so contacted EE through Facebook and they said that it's recurring so there's nothing he could do he said it should go once you use it up so he recommended using it up so I did and then topped up as normal brought a add-On then a week or so later checked to see how much I had left and to my surprise it had paused the add-On and was using recurring data again which confused me so I phoned again only to be told there's nothing that can be done as it says recurring data so it's your to use but I feel bad about this as I'm getting free data and I told them to remove it but they say they can't I then said I won't get charged for the data and she said no it's a Gift that was put on , on New year's Eve and it just starts over each month. 

 

Anyone know if this is true? 

 

I'll try to upload a photo to show you what it says

@Chris_B  but the other reply said contract so this may not be free for all I know they could send a bill for the amount. And it was supposed to be for 1 month and that was 6 months ago

@XRaySpeX  I don't have the app

Ok so I just phoned again and she's changed my email to my new one so I can't get on my ee account which I'm going to do in a minute but she double checked my account and I'm not on a contract at all I'm still on pay as you go and the reoccurring data was a gift on New year's Eve and I asked her if she could take it off and she tried but it wouldn't let her take it off and she said whatever he did when he put it on it seems to be locked and will just renew each month free so she said your one very lucky person. 

 

She said PAYG can have reoccurring data added and yours was a gift to get you back online
