I have been charged by 2degrees by 500$ for international roaming. I only remember turning my mobile data twice. Upon arrival (turned it off immediately after receiving warning) and on the 3rd day. but their record shows more than that.

Tried contacting technical support but the best they did is to send me a record of my mobile data usage
Asking for help if anyone can offer assistance in this matter

Data roaming in Myanmar costs $10/MB. Even a dribble of unintentional data will be very expensive at that rate. Could’ve been a lot worse than $500.

In regards to the amount of data actually used, yes: the system does not just make it up, I’m afraid. It measures it down to blocks of ~5KB in size.




iPad Pro 11" + iPhone 15 Pro Max + 2degrees 4tw!

 

These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.
