There is no reason for you to even ask them to reduce the payment since you yourself know its 1GB only yet you managed to exceed it.

Not sure about the cost but the last time i downloaded stuff on my phone, my bill increase by over $50 and i downloaded about 10mb only.

RandyLee SG

Apparently, i know it's my fault. But right now there's no way i could pay that amount. There wasn't any notification that i've exceeded( that's the whole point for them to earn) and i'm still studying. T.T

Well u've overshot the amount, there's no technical glitch or any other reason... It's just like u were given 100 min talktime but u used 150mins total... What reason would u have for them to reduce the bill?

I dunno abt the charges but I suppose u better get urself prepared to get watever is coming from ur mother... Better to tell her then to hide... Better to get it done and over with rather then live every moment worrying...

According to the iphone plans posted onthe below thread, if you are using starhub or M1, there is a cap on the amount you need to pay for dataplan exceed if i didn't read it wrongly but no cap on singtel so better pray you not singtel user...

Hi Randy Lee,

Since you have exceeded the dataplan, there is nothing much you can do now except to wait for the official bill to reach your house.

I will suggest that you tell your parents the truth now rather than attempting to hide things and wait for the bill to arrive, which will only likely result in even harsher scoldings/canings.

Cheers.

1024x0.0054 = 5.5296 cents

x140 =774.144 cents.

if u need more, add a higher data plan to ur current plan

That seems unlikely since even if they review and do any changes to their plans (Something very likely considering the M1 and starhub plans), it will only be in effect from the day they annouce it at the best and not for the past usage.

Free Local Data: Data bundle includes Internet Tethering and is for local usage only. Excess data usage is chargeable at $0.0054/2KB (min. of $0.03/session).

135mb ==> 138240KB
138250 / 2 = 69120
69120 x $0.0054 = $373.25
