Story: £100 for an iTunes download: The real cost of roaming
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 4 November 2005, 10:55 AM)
I was charged £460 by vodafone for less than 30mb of use in Spain - even though I had opted for a mobile roaming tariff which should have given me 100mb free. They admited their mistake when it was pointed out to them (after a couple of days) and credited me with £360 which was the bill amount minus the £100 monthly tariff charge(!!!). All this was after I had to buy a new datacard in Spain because the one they sold me in the UK was unsuitable - as I found out. Include in that the £65 worth of calls to their customer services and all in all it was quite an expensive little trip! Nice.
I check my bills when they come through now.
