Overcharged on $59 Freedom Connect Plan

[PB970]

I have had my new phone on a Freedom Connect $59 plan since January.  I was under the impression that I would only be charged $59 a month unless I made more than $550 worth of calls and SMS.  However each online bill I have received since then has had at least $80 worth of charges on my phone.  There is no evidence on the online bill that I have made over the $550 worth of calls or messages so why am I being charged over $59.  I have rung Telstra at least 3 times and been told that the problem would be rectified on my next bill, however each time I am still being overcharged.  To Telstra's credit I have been credited the overcharges for the last two months but still been charged the extra on the bill I received today.  Help!!!!! This is very frustrating.

Wondering how this is the case..... Could you look at the PDF bill in MyAccount and post any charges that show on the summary above $59.00?

When you signed up where there any additional charges such as Handset Instalments (MRO) that are in additional to your service contract?

While I understand each time Telstra have provided a credit for the charges that you are unclear on, has any of the reps been able to provide you with an explanation of what the charges actually are/where they originate from?

If you could please follow Ben's suggestion, hopefully we'll be able to get to the bottom of it. It can be something as simple as a handset charge, or SMS delivery reports.
