Orange are ripping me off!

I have had a contract almost constantly with orange since 1996

I have been using an iphone for 4 years (1st a iPhone 3gs, and a 4S)

I was prompted to update my software to IOS6 last month.

have just had a big shock. Orange have sent me an invoice for my contract, showing I have gone over my allowance of 750mb to a total of 2302mb! a total bill of £ 421

I have been using the iPhone normally as i have been for the last few years with no video. just email and a pod cast occasionally. A normal monthly usage would be around 450 - 500mb.

I phoned orange yesterday as soon as I opened the invoice, they told me there were massive downloads on Oct 11 during the afternoon (whilst I was out working). I think this has something to do with the phone updating to ios6, which i did around that time. there seems to be a lot of similar stories on the web attributing high mobile data to bugs in ios6.

Why did orange not tell me i had used my bundled data?

has anyone had any success in having orange remove these high charges?


since last Monday (new billing period) it shows i have used 680 of my 800mb!

i phoned orange tech, who said i have used .2mb since last monday!??

advised to take to apple store for a check, but no appointments for over a week..

advised to restore iphone to make sure there are no corrupted applications..

( which i have started just now)
the first thing that happened was itunes said something like "there are new carrier settings - do you wamt to proceed?"

Why Choose a Master Locksmith?

Master Locksmiths Association

Licensing the professional Locksmith

The Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) is the leading trade association for the
locksmithing industry. A truly not-for-profit organisation promoting the skill and integrity
of its approximately 1,400 members, it was established over 50 years ago to set and
promote standards of conduct, practice and materials within locksmithing. Recognised
as the authoritative body for locksmithing by the police, home office, British Standards
Institute (BSI), The Risk Insight, Strategy and Control Authority - RISCAuthority
(formally IPCRes) and Building Research Establishment (BRE), the MLA also has a
subsidiary company, Sold Secure, which performs certification of security products via
manual attack testing.

In the absence of Government based licensing (meaning that anyone can call
themselves a locksmith), the MLA can provide peace of mind to the end customer
through it’s licensing scheme.
MLA licensed locksmith companies, who undergo strict vetting (including criminal record
checks, regular inspections to ensure quality etc), are able to provide advice based on
knowledge and experience, recommend products that are fit for purpose as well as
provide professional installation and maintenance services.
The Approved Companies inspectorate means the MLA can demonstrate that all
Company Members are meeting high standards. Each company is inspected on a
regular basis, thus ensuring that its members and their operatives maintain standards in
workmanship and administration. Also members are expected to conform to legal
requirements and customer charters exist to ensure customer satisfaction.
Inspections have the effect of making locksmithing companies more accountable for
their daily operations. Approved Company members are made aware that the MLA
considers that training is an essential means to maintaining standards and the
association provides training and information through various means.
The Logo depicted on the bottom right hand corner is the one that is advertised by an
approved company on their premises, vehicles and stationery, confirming to the public
the standards expected of them.
Channels of arbitration exist to fully investigate any complaints or disputes, should they
arise, and the MLA advises or takes any necessary action depending on the outcome
