Having just been overcharged £65 for roaming passes I did not ask for or need, I realise ee implements a policy of obfuscation in regard to the rules about cancelling a roaming pass. I put this as a warning to others. If you do not actively cancel your roaming pass, you will continue to be charged for it on a monthly basis until you notice. My complaint produced an offer of compensation of 50% of the total overcharged despite them confirming I did not use the roaming facility after the first monthly pass requested. Strikes me as a cynical ploy to get money out of customers who do not religiouly check bank accounts monthly. I am escalating the complaint to the ombudsman and would like to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

Hi @carcon1,
The Roam Abroad Pass is a monthly recurring add-on that remains on your account until cancelled.

Did you get anywhere with the ombudsman.
Only just realised I have been paying this on my son’s phone for 2 years ! He must have clicked on a text whilst on holiday. Total cost £410 !
ee have offered £150 refund. I’m wondering if I should take it to the ombudsman?

I rather suspect the Ombudsman would look for an explanation of why you didn't notice the additional charges for 24 monthly bills.
The counter-argument is that it doesn't give a great impression of someone who regularly checks their bills, something that ADR may seek an explanation for.

- SIM R Unlimited 24m £24 R in Contracts & Billing
- Incorrect Xbox Invoice After Contract End in Contracts & Billing
- Mis sold contract, roaming charges not as agreed in Offers & Add-ons
- It’s been 4 months of hell being with EE - I cannot stand this company! in Contracts & Billing
- Roaming abroad pass but still being charged in Contracts & Billing
