Thief service provider

Last week I decided to load up my smartphone with 2 dollars. Recently I open my smartphone. I was confused because when I open the YouTube channel it doesn't open. I tried many times but failed. It was frustrating. So I check the WiFi connection. and there I found out that it was turned off. Also, the "Cellular Data" was turned on. Wow~, that means all my $2 dollars cellphone load was used up. How come? who turned on the "Cellular Data" of my cellphone? Did my brother turned it on? Did he knew my cellphone password? or the cellphone service provider steal my $2 dollars load? Dude I'm starting to hate Globe (my service provider) Did you guys experience this? Your cellphone load was mysteriously missing? I pray to GOD to punish the culprit. I know it is small money but stealing is one of the rules in the 10 commandments.

A cellphone, if left to itself will use 1 GB of cellular data in a month updating itself and any apps you've added to the phone. I turn stuff like that off, even though my internet is included in the price I pay per month.

So how to totally disable it? To avoid this from happening again? This is pure 100% stealing without the knowledge of the owner. Besides I have already WiFi so no need to use "Cellular Data" on my cellphone. This is clearly against the will of the owner of the cellphone.

Yes, I think Service providers normally deduct the amount from your credit balance to pay for a service charge

@erictsuma I just pay a fee each month for unlimited talk, text and 15 GB of internet. (I pay $35 a month, which is very cheap here.)

I got curious of what ISP this is. It is still the leaading provider and in the stock market I was puzzled when its stock shoot to the stars. Maybe the Gcash product, I have no idea. I'm so sorry for the bad experience. I hope you have it figured out.

It's Globe. All these giant corporations are thieves.

DE has given a valid explanation of what might have happened. Even I would not like that to happen. I hope no one did the stealing.
