Re: Data Rollover con!

I completely agree with you. I feel as though I have been scammed. Every month I have to pay £20 for data I hardly use because where I am at, the EE network isn’t strong enough and I just rely on my accommodation’s WIFI. I am a foreign student and it takes a toll on me having to pay this every single month. The care service I met initially when I got here newly, told me it was better to be on a contract. ALLL  LIESSS! And I just feel I am wasting money honestly

@Ify8   So you hardly use data but still purchase a pack that has more data than you require and then complain that you have unused data.    Why you are purchasing that pack when there are cheaper and packs on offer. ?  

  The pack you are purchasing is your choice so how can you are blaming EE for this ?   

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Because as I said, I am on contract. I wasn’t even aware of the smaller data bundles in the first place. By the time I had started this current plan, I asked if I could change it to a lesser bundle and I was told I would have to pay more to cancel and change ( i.e. cancel the previous one, which would cost me like about 100 and so quid). 
How can I use the data if I’m not getting coverage? 
The problem is with the initial person I met…. Because if I was given at least all the data options. I would have been able to pick out the most suitable.  That’s why I feel scammed. I am new here, of course it’s going to take me a while to adjust. I just felt misguided.

@Ify8 : Don't think you've posted in the right place. This thread is about PAYG Data Rollover. You are on contract. There is no Data Rollover on contract.

I had no idea either there was no roll over on contract (but that makes perfect sense anyways). Ok… thanks for the clarification. I was literally just replying to the user who commented on feeling scammed because I shared the same sentiments. I just feel, I had little information about the data bundles and the fact I can hardly use my data at my place of accommodation because the coverage isn’t soo great!

@Ify8  No network will guarantee a signal indoors if that is your problem as the building can be blocking the signal hence WiFi calling.  What’s the signal like outside can you use the device without issue ? 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

There is no issue outside just within my accommodation premises and also in my school. Asides that it works perfectly fine. Oh ok… I see. That’s probably the case here. But why such strict rules in changing the data bundles though? I understand it may not be EE’s fault, but at the same time I would have loved it, if I was given better options and been able to understand the bundle packages better. I feel like I am throwing away money. 
Thanks for the clarification though!
