OFT Warn Of Dangers of Running Up Huge Phone Bills Whilst on Holiday
A warning has gone out to anybody going off Island with his or her mobile phone.
The warning is in relation to the massive charges you can potentially incur when using your phone in the UK or abroad.
It’s not uncommon for bills to run into the hundreds of pounds when the following points are ignored.
Aswell as sending and receiving texts, and of course calling, the biggest potential for a huge bill is using your phone to connect to the Internet or download data.
People with smart phones are reminded to disable the data roaming facility on their phone.
The most logical solution is to buy a cheap local sim card in the area you are visiting.
