Odido junior subscription with TCL MT42 smart watch generated hefty bill

 

Last month we received a hefty bill of 52 EURs because the watch or odido subscription did not limit the watch usage to the subscription limit, i know it's a way of generating revenue for business but for kids this should be not the case. Is there a know way to address this so that we don't get same problem every month apart from not using the watch anymore:)

Hi ​@Sbalram 

What kind of out of bundle costs did you have? The kids subscriptions are a kind of prepaid for the Child. The parent is able to allow for more. Can you set a copy of the invoice, without your name/number in the post? Than we can look with you.

Hi Sbalram, nice to see that you're using a junior subscription with Smartwatch. What ​@eric says is correct, so it's odd, barrings are placed at the start of the subscription. Parents can change these if they would like. We also update you on the usage when you're (almost) at 100% usage for data and voice.

  • We send the user (the child) an SMS at 80% and 100% data usage.
  • We also send the user (the child) an SMS at 50% and 100% voice usage.
  • In addition, we send an SMS to the contact number (the parent).

Please reply to my DM from Webcare Moderator. I'm happy to look into your account and see what I can find that's causing the extra charge!

Is it possible to stop call or sms beyond the limits somehow?

Good morning! At this point there's no automatic option to stop the calling/sms/data when the limit has been reached. My colleagues from IT are actively working on this right now. Once I have an update, I will let you know. In the meantime, please keep a manual eye on the usages and block calling/sms/data once the limit has been reach, if neccesary via Blokkades | Odido.

We have now blocked all outgoing calls and messages as this the only option we have at hand
