IQ Go have introduced a fair useage policy limiting eu data (11 Viewers)

[379inca]

Went to top up my IQ Go sim today with 100 gb of data for £20.00 to discover as of 20th September (yesterday) they have changed the conditions to a fair useage policy. 100gb in uk and only 25gb in Europe. Up until today I had had no notification of this. Am I doing something wrong or have any of you come across this. I find this a little frustrating as they were keen enough to take my annual subscription a few weeks ago.
Looks like I shall be buying a local data sim.

I bought one to in Burgos on Saturday but I don’t seem to be able to hotspot off it - is that the same for you?

Is it a digimobile SIM or some other? As I know digi allow hotspoting. Check the Apn is correct on your phone and try switching data on and off a few times.

What’s happens to your phone number when you cancel the IQ contract - do you lose it? I’m into month 1 of a 3 month contract with them. I’ve bought a Spanish SIM in Burgos and would like to cancel with IQ but I’ve had my number a long time and I’ve nowhere to transfer it to .

When back in the UK get a free PAYG sim like Asda to transfer you number to until you sort out a new contract. You don't have to put any money on it.
Or get one sent to a friend or relatives address.

Yes ask for pac code as usual

Mine seems to be working but its still showing I have used 25GB today which cant be right as I only went on line for 304- mins to check emails and a few forums. Should have been 100mb max.. I may have to message them again.

I checked mine about an hour ago and had the same issue.

Not sure if you got around to emailing them again but this is the (very quick) response I had

'The usage information is cosmetic and can be ignored.
We have had to put that in ready for bundles being added tomorrow onwards.'

I just looked and no usage but instead of 30gb it's only got 25
Will wait till it sorts out.

 

[Howard B]

Sent a few emails back and forward to them. My sim usage on the portal is currently showing as 25GB used which know cant be right. At their end, its showing that I have 99GB remaining which is more like it.
They have said it will resolve itself in a few days so we should have accurate information on sim usage. So hopefully that's it sorted, just hoping when I get to 25gb roaming it doesn't stop working.

It looks like it. I can’t hotspot off mine either, I would prefer to but for €16 I’m ok with that.
I believe you can hotspot with Lebara.

Text PAC to 65075 and you will be sent a code, then once you find a deal you like, give your new network your PAC code. Your new network will transfer your number over

Do I have request the PAC from my current provider before I terminate the contract with them or do they keep my number available for me in perpetuity after I cancel? Once I request the PAC, how long have I got to use it?

A PAC code lasts for 30 days if you don't use it they cancel it. You can request another one any time.
The contract ends when you give another provider the PAC code.

It’s a DigiMobil, yes. There are no settings for APN, Username and Password under the Personal Hotspot settings. Can you advise the settings I should enter?

Mine’s the same Howard although they did reply to my email saying I’d used 19GB.

Did you see post #192 above for details of how to set up hotspotting?

I have the same problem. It's showing that I have used 22gb in 48 hours, which I know is wrong. I have messaged them but they say it's correct.

Having not used mine yet (other than than a quick speed test to check connection after activating on 30th Sept), mine is now showing 75Gb allowance and -25Gb used in summary but none in graphs.

I suspect they are having trouble with the Data Usage screen since the changes introduced on 1 Oct. No doubt they are working hard to resolve so, fingers crossed, it'll be corrected soon.

We are with Popit who are affected by the same roaming changes, my 100gb allowance now shows on the app as 75 and the 55 that I had used is now showing as 30 so they have taken the new 25gb allowance off that, don't understand really so will just see how it pans out, we are in France at the moment and it's still working I suppose when it gets to 100gb used I have then used the 25gb allowance roaming, maybe it's just a fiddle till they get their app rewritten.
