Hi,

I Have a company mobile phone that i used for "Internet Tethering" at home as i was required to do an on-call shift a few nights a week which required me to look at e-mails and connect to resources at work.

My employer didn't include a data allowance with this so i have used approximately 1.3GB in one month and this is costing them in the Regon of £3,000? My company doesnt have a mobile phone policy and i was not made aware of any allowances on the contract sim.

Occasionally i used the internet for personal use e.g facebook etc but a majority of the time it was used for work e-mails and to work.

If i am right, it's their fault for providing me with a contract that includes no data allowance, which they expected me to use to check my e-mails and work from home which uses data.

Where do i stand in this situation? Do i have to pay back £6,000 worth of data allowances as I didn't legally agree to any terms regarding this mobile phone contract?
