Vodascam data use

[Compton_effect]

I have a Huawei P10 Lite with two SIMs. SIM1 is Telkom Mobile, SIM2 is Vodacom. I was using a Vodacom data bundle, until Monday, when I received a warning that I only had 99 MB available. So I switched to my Telkom SIM. This morning at 01:42, Vodacom notified me that my data has run out.

How exactly is that possible?

Vodacon - that is how it's possible!

My wife had the same issue, bought 250mb of data, went on a flight and when she landed her data was finished. Yet her phone was off the whole time.

She phoned vodacom and they reimbursed her data but could not tell her what had caused the data drain.

Pls be warned u need a good 15 mins or so waiting on the line for a operator and all that.

I have a bill of just under R 15000 on a 5gb data SIM. absolute nonsense. is there a class action I can join against this disgusting company that invents data use and charges over account at R2 per megabyte?

I often wonder about this sort of post when the device is a Android Open Source Operating System!!
This Operating System is infamous for background running applications that use data without the users consent, adding to this wonder if the system understood which network was the set default Telkom/Vodacom?
Check your device before typing on your keyboard and posting!!!

I don't think you understand, data on the Vodacom sim was OFF and the one on Telkom was switched on instead. Data was off. There was no way data could've been taken if it was off.

Yes did the Android Open Source Operating System UNDERSTAND AS TO WHICH SIM WAS OPERATING!!!!!!!
Buy Open Source complicates life. Matter closed. I did not believe VC stolen the data, this was lost due the users negligence - Kabish.

I need to disagree with you here. Especially since you keep using the words "open source" as if its open source fault that the data is going missing.

If you compare it to ubuntu open source and any windoze operating system, windoze uses far more than any linux distro.

The answer yes the phone understood which sim was operating. Having tested that exact model for a friend with 2 sims i can tell you it works perfectly.
Buying open source(Android) does not complicate life, people who don't understand the software or android at all are another story.

I bet you work for vodacom?
