Apple Newbie: Iphone 5

[Joe505]

Hi guys!

I took out the iphone 5 on the straight up 200 contract on the 26th of Jan. Today when i check my balance it said i have usage of R75??? Apparently i had depleted my data bundle, and some application downloaded 111mb and this caused the additonal R75 charge.

Before i get any more surprises could you guys please inform me what and how to disable on my iphone (updates etc) so that such occurrences dont happen in the future.

Another thing apparently when the phone got activated, an international SMS was sent to 44 7786205094. Do you guys know anything about this?

Also is there a way for me to ensure that i never incur any additional charges (specifically data related) above my contract bundle?

Thanks Alot guys!

You can phone CellC and set your "over contract" limit to any amount you want, once you pass that they stop any further usage.

Also handy to use *101# to get voice, sms and data balances simultaneously.
