Came onto EE around Christmas, after having a bad experience on another network. So yesterday was my mothers birthday who lives the states for the past 30+ years I have called her on all special occasions, never having bill or charges problem, then today I receive a bill for £329..i'm sat at home on my wifi but received this charge, how is a person to know this, when the past 30+ years this hasn't happened on any network, Ive spent a bit of time on the phone to EE and they offered a good will gesture of 25%, its not acceptable I can only think of older people thinking that being sat at home being on there wifi they wouldn't get extra charges etc.. Im not happy with EE now, also I asked for a spend cap at the start which they say wasn't added, never in my life have I not had a spend cap its there for exactly this sort of problem. Very frustrated with EE atm, it honestly looks like I will find another network, i wont be forced to use app like WhatsApp etc, ive never been charged for calling my parents. This was not explained to me when taking out the contracts!

I did, so it is the assuming & not asking specifically but of course it's all EE's fault now. Any gesture of goodwill is going to be just that as they've done nothing wrong here tbh
