Request for Advice Regarding High International Call Charges

Hello everyone,
I am a very new Odido customer and I'm looking for some advice regarding my first high invoice.
I took my Odido subscription on 13 June. During my June billing cycle, I did not receive any charges for international calls, so I genuinely believed that the calls I had made to India were included in my unlimited calling plan.
It was only when I received my July invoice for €2,302.23 that I realized the calls to India were being charged separately. Until then, I was completely unaware that these calls were outside my bundle and that such high charges were accumulating.


This was a genuine misunderstanding on my part. Since the calls connected successfully and I had not seen any international call charges in my first bill, I assumed they were covered by my plan. If I had known they were chargeable, I would never have continued making those calls.


I sincerely apologize for this mistake. It was never my intention to misuse the service or generate such a high bill. I am a new customer, and this has come as a complete shock. Paying such a large amount would cause me significant financial hardship.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation with Odido? Is there any possibility of requesting a goodwill review or having these charges reduced? I would be very grateful for any advice from the community or the Odido moderators.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. I truly appreciate any guidance or support.

Hi Ayush, welcome to Odido. I completely understand that this invoice would come as a shock to you. Calling from the Netherlands to abroad is never free. There are, however, specific bundles available for calling the EU and the US, for example. And even then, calling and texting is not unlimited. I'm sorry to hear that you misunderstood this. I did some research right away. India falls under Zone 3, and you can find all the rates on this page: tarievenlijst-hello-020826.pdf. I would be very happy to look into this with you, and I am happy to reimburse a portion out of goodwill. But please be aware that this will not be much in proportion to the total amount. I have sent you a DM via Webcare Moderator. Please respond to me there. Then I would be happy to see what I can do for you!

Good afternoon Ayush, thanks for the verification code! Good to see that my colleagues already created an installment plan as well. I've credited € 50 for you. This will be deducted from the total amount / payment plan. As I said, it's not much in proportion to the total amount, but I truly hope this helps you. I've also sent you a confirmation e-mail. Please let me know if you've received it.
