  1. With most phones these days it is quite simple to toggle mobile data on/off. With Android simply use a two-finger pull down, press on the mobile connection and slide data off - no need for a third-party app.

    With AIS one can also turn data on/off by sending USSD requests to the network:

    Turn data off *129*1# send

    Turn data on *129*2# send

    Check status: *129*# send

    I sort of assumed the OP was checking his usage immediately after enabling data, and then again immediately after turning it off to determine the scope of the "scam" being perpetrated?

    Most phones will be connected all the time - save when on WiFi, even if applications are not using the connection, so one really needs to be proactive in turning the connection on/off if on a time-based plan. In the OP's case, he would burn through his 20 hour allotment in, amazingly, roughly 20 hours, or 10 ~ 14 "scam" hours.

    Also looking into this today .... this is posted on their website ...

    Notice the activate & deactivate numbers are changed around ..... is that a deliberate mistake ?????????

    • To check the amount of data used, call *121(Free)
    • To activate-deactivate data by yourself:
      • - To activate data, dial *129*1#call (Free)
      • - To deactivate data, dial *129*2#call (Free)
      • - To check the status of data activation/deactivation, dial *129# (Free)
  2. 'Any truth to this, anyone heard of it before, or was the guy just winding me up?'
