Just a 'hesads up to all of you venturing abroad this Winter.

My provider has reduced their 'Fair usage' use of my phone from 12Gb to 5Gb.

I don't recall when they gave me notice of this, and, from memory I think my 'month' ends on the 20th.

It therefore came as a bit of a surprise to receive their text last night to tell me I've already used 80% of my allowance:Eeek:

We leave for Blighty in a couple of days so it's not much of a problem but I will be seeking an alternative strategy for the next time I cross the water.

Didn’t you warn us about this with TalkTalk a week or two ago Derek? I may well be confusing you with someone else of course.

Who knows🤷‍♂️ but can they change the terms mid contract and not punish us for cancelling?? Who knows🤷‍♂️
IQ pulled the plug on us with the GO sim, reduced monthly data usage to 25% and blamed EE, so I guess they can do anything sadly ?

I’m not going completely mad after all! I know it’s not Talk Talk but I wasn’t far off. I think there’s a secret plot, isn’t it called gaslighting or something. To make people think they’re going mad.

So clear proof the Caroline is okay and Derek is losing the plot! 🤣🤣

Fed up with UK providers promising huge Chunks of data when abroad, only to change T&C. This trip was easy straight to Leclerc 100gb for 14 euros, got 17 days out of that in Spain. Then bought an orange sim in Spain, 60gb for 10 euros.

But where does it say , 'Talk Talk'

I accept that I 'may' have posted this before.(I'm taking up Mrs Emmits' mantra) that I do not admit anything when pinned the wall but will say 'maybe so' when denying I did anything.
