ALDI Mobile
1.9Aldi is a joke – Yesterday at 11am i received an sms saying i have reached over 50% of my allocated data, at 6pm i received another sms saying i have exceeded my data and fair use policy and i should topup online. So i go to my account and see i have only used 989mb of my 2.5gig, wtf... This morning i received an email from aldi saying that i have breached term 5.3 from their acceptable use policy and they are about to suspend me, my plan renews tomorrow so it's not a big deal but this is strange because in my 6 years of smartphne use and being with 3 providers during that time i have never had any problems nor have ever been able to go over my allocated 1.5gig of data in that time. So i called aldi ..... Turns out that even though i was on my office and home wireless all data consumed was actually coming off my data plan! Aldi mobile are you serious! And to further rub salt into the wound if i use only 1kb they charge me 1000 x more as if i used 1mb. Oh he reckons you can do 2 things, 1) turn off updates on your iphone so the little 2kb here and there during the day of the phone checking so i don't get charged 1mb each time my phone looks for an update...... 2) turn off cellular data during my wireless connection.... So i don't get charged for being connected to my own wireless network. You have to be kidding me...... That is ridiculous and there i was thinking i'm finally on telstra network and was so excited for not being with optus the fool ripoff merchants anymore... Aldi mobile is a joke...... Just do a search on google there are loads of us unfairly suspended for what can only be seen as unfairly charged for data by aldi mobile. Over it, am leaving for boost, or amaysim but will carefully read their acceptable use policy and try to find how they charge for their data first... Aldi mobile you suck It runs on Telstra Network, good reception 1kb is charged as 1mb, overcharging, unacceptable use policy, suspends people for no reason
