Being charged money for having internet available

Hi
I bought an IPhone (ie not on contract) and inserted my Pay as You Go sim card.
I then received a text to say I had been charged £1 for my daily allowance of the internet.
I do not use the internet on my phone as I pay for it through Sky in my home.
So basically I was being charged for having the internet available on my phone.
I have had this sim card for 8 years and this has never been an issue before.
O2 have said it is an Apple problem.
Does anybody know how to fix it as its about a 30-45min trip to my nearest Apple store.
Thanks

I dont see why I should have to pay for it
If you don't want to pay for using the internet over the mobile phone network, then *turn it off* as wjosten told you.
If your iPhone is connecting to the internet over a WiFi connection wherever you are, then you are not being charged by your mobile network provider to access the internet over their mobile network.
If a WiFi network is not available where you are, and your phone tries to access the internet, the iPhone will automatically connect over the mobile phone network - unless you have turned that feature off as described.
The iPhone is designed to be permanently connected to the internet - either over WiFi, or when WiFi isn't available, over the mobile phone network.

    Tried to down load firefox and view a how to video and was given a notice AFTER, that I will be charged for something. I don't want anything that will cost me any money. What should I do? Can you find out what it is and stop it?

    Firefox is free, open-source software developed by a non-profit organization. We do not change any money for our software or content.
    If your phone is displaying a notification about a charge, you should contact your carrier (T-Mobile, according to the system details above) for more information.

    How can I get my Time Cap (TC 4 gen) to recognise my 2gen Airport Extreem (AE)

    Thanks for the info, this really helps.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on  AirPort Extreme.
    The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.

  • Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?

    Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?
    I couldnt redeem w/o an apple ID so when i did it asked for a credit card. And I want to discontinue and remove my account from itunes but it wont let me, there is no account discontinue or removal of account

    Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

  • I had an App on MacBook Air which would cause my computer to be locked. I delted it and reinstalled the App again from the AppStore. Now I am being charged again for the same App. How can I correct this issue and get refund for the double billing?

    You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
    Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Change your iTS password!!!!
    Are these charges from Adobe or Apple?
    Are these purchases from the App Store or iTunes Store?
    Contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Apple and Adobe will do nothing for you - it is your CC issuer that can help.
    As noted these are user to user discussions. None of us here work for Apple or Adobe.

    Hello Tommy,
    Thanks for the feedback. It would be great if you could tell us what you find unacceptable about the workaround, how it impacts to your workflow, or perhaps how you would like to see this changed. It would be useful information for the product team.
    Best regards,
    Corey
    No matter which way you want to sugar coat it... applying Unobtrusive Code MANUALLY or via your half-assed "extension" (aka Constitutional Amendment)... you're asking us to re-write the code that is already written properly & is valid in order to accept your improper / invalid code.
    Requiring me to re-train my staff to write improper code is not only counter productive and improper, but you want to charge me money for the inconvenience and call it a convenient FEATURE. ...
    .... UNACCEPTABLE
    I'm just saying to Adobe, get your shi-t together and re-address the issue... PERIOD!!!

  • Paying more money for slower internet?

    Ok so I got my bill in today and it was $300. The largest bill I've ever got from Verizon FiOS. I skimmed through the bill and noticed I was paying $69.99/m for Verizon FiOS Internet 50/25. I went on the website and saw that they don't even offer 50/25 anymore and on top of that it's only $59.99/m not $69.99/m. So i'm playing an extra $10/m for slower internet that the company doesn't even support anymore. How can I fix this? Has anybody else ever had this problem? If I'm paying $69.99/m for internet I want the 75/75 mbps that they advertise on their website.

    We're not Apple, we're just other users like you who can possibly provide advice.
    Was this an audiobook or was it an iBook?  Audiobooks can only be downloaded once per payment.  You can avoid multiple payments by transferring the files while syncing.
    If it was an iBook it should have warned you about making a second payment.  There are specific steps to downloading past purchases.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    Apple's sales policy is all purchases are final.  You can try asking if they will refund but the decision is up to them.  iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store

    I was charged money on my bank account and I didn't parches anything from iTunes. I just need apple to refund me 

    Most of us on these forums, including myself, are fellow users, and it's not 'live chat'.
    If you added or changed the credit card details on your account then each time that you do so you are likely to receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that the card is active - it should disappear within a few days or so
