Misleading Communication on Unlimited Internet

They need to be much clearer with their communication! I switched my mobile number from another company because their plans seemed affordable, and they advertised the package as including unlimited internet. However, it turns out that you can only use a certain amount of bandwidth, after which the internet connection slows down drastically and eventually stops altogether unless you purchase additional GB. This is far from “unlimited”! While it may be stated in the contract, advertising it as unlimited internet is extremely misleading.

Dear Nunzio,

With the Budget Mobile Unlimited subscription you have unlimited calling, texting and mobile internet in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands you can use 4 GB per day. Is this 4 GB used up and do you receive a text message that you have used 100%? Then you can immediately top it up with 1 GB for free by sending a text message with the text "bundle" to 7171. When the new day starts, you will have 4 GB again.

From this you can conclude that the text for your additional 1GB is completely free and included in your bundle.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at 020 205 55 55. We are open on working days from 09:00-17:00.

Greetings,
Ruby

Internet Quality check

The agent tried to understand my actual trouble with internet connection and tried multiple ways to fit my requirements and also suggest the way forward to get away from the connection issues.

Not only is the internet barely working on both mobile and wifi, but when our wifi broke down for no reason, no one helped us. We called 3 times and each time the operators did not fix the issue. They said they would send a crew to check, gave us a timeslot, and the people never showed up. They also said they would send us a SIM card to hotspot until the team can come and fix our wifi and they also never did that. I am extremely disappointed with the service and will be cancelling my subscription because I am paying for nothing.

Data usage, own rules made, and contract not followed

I have an abonnement with unlimited data. At 4GB used my internet stops working. This is something budget mobile did according to their own words, to stop miss usage of unlimited data. In my opinion weird, if you pay for it, how can you miss use it... But I have to SMS to get an extra 1GB data if this happens. Yesterday at 11pm my 4GB was used, and I sent the SMS. Which was confirmed 6am this morning. So the rest of the night yesterday I had no internet. I've called about is, and was told that I should get another provider if I dont agree with this. Honestly what a bad answer, but hé, they know you cant do anything about it. This is Customer Service nowadays...

Edit: since the reaction below I tried a couple of times again to find a solution. Nobody knows of any "Anouck" working there, and I get no help whatsoever. So funny that a standard message as the one below is placed, and that should be the solution apparantly....
What a Customer Service......

Poor mobile network quality and no response to complaint

The quality of mobile internet is very poor, my phone keeps switching to Edge instead of 4G. This is a known KPN network issue, Budgetmobiel has not informed me at all about this. This is unacceptable so I have sent a written complaint letter. No reply at all after 3 weeks. Don’t choose this provider!

Yesterday


Yesterday, Budget Mobile changed my number WITHOUT PERMISSION. I only found out late last night because my family was in a panic and could NOT reach me the whole day.

At first, I thought my phone had been hacked. When I checked my Budget app, I was shocked to see that Budget had changed my number.

Since Budget doesn’t have an emergency number, I couldn’t reach them until 9:00 AM today via the chat app. So far, I still haven’t gotten my old number back and have been UNREACHABLE since yesterday. No work as a result.

This morning, it turned out they had mixed up my details with someone else’s. That person had their number changed by a guardian, which I don’t have. An incredibly sloppy mistake by Budget, again, and I’ve been dealing with it all day. For God's sake, how hard can it be to restore my number? Stupid, stupid mistake by Budget. On top of that, they overcharged me for my subscription for two months, and I still need to get that back! Never choose this service! When you need them, they’re not there!
