Message from +441024

Hi,

 

I've received a text from +441024 number saying I've used up 80% of my sharing data but I don't share any data with anyone else? 

 

I do use my hotspot but I have unlimited data.

 

Is it an accidental message or am I missing something?

 

Thanks

It's only talking about data that you may potentially gift from the 1st 100GB of all your data to other nos. on your a/c if you choose to. It's just a warning just in case you wanted to. You may safely ignore it & carry on using data for your own purposes including hotspotting.

As you use data for your own use you are eating into this gifting allowance even when you are not actually gifting it.

Notice that it didn't say "You've gifted data you can gift" just that "You've used data you can gift".
