Hello everyone,

I just got to Italy two days ago.

I bought a mini sim card from TIM and registered for the Internet option "Internet senza limit" and since I got it with a modem (Chiavetta) at 29 Euros, I paid 10 Euros per month for the 10GB connection for 3 months.

I have the sim on my iPhone 4s and tethering to my laptop.

First worry, in less than 24 hours, when I checked my internet usage, it was reading 6GB! When did I use up 4GB already?!

The sim came with a 5Euros credit for calls (as the attendant told me). In less than 24 hours, it was down to less than 1 Euro and when I woke up yesterday, I was told my credit was "esaurito" (exhausted)! I sent about 5 sms and made no calls. Now with my credit "esaurito", my Internet did not work.

I loaded 30 Euros credit online but TIM credited me with 28.78 Euros!

I decided not to make any calls and not to send any sms so to watch.

I woke up this morning to check my credit and it is now reading 26,78 Euros! What the heck is happening, does anyone know?

Does TIM charge 2 Euros per day for doing nothing?

I'll be grateful for any help please guys, thanks!
