Usage charges

These are charges for using more minutes, texts or MBs than your bundle includes. The following charges are also shown here:

Calls within the Netherlands

If you use more minutes than your bundle includes, you’ll see the extra charges here. You may also be charged if you still have minutes left. This usually happens when you call an international number or a service number, such as an 0900 number. You pay these charges to the service number provider. You’ll usually hear the rate at the start of the call.

You can see which charges you’ve incurred in the itemised section of your bill, starting on page 2. In some cases, you’ll see charges both within and outside your bundle. This is usually because there is an extra charge for making calls or using mobile data in that country.
