Fonus: Borderless Data & Calls

Unlimited is definitely not… but what is it? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Had the service for 2 months. Got a very curt email about excessive use after the first month… I had used about 65gb during that time… an amount I agree is significant. My second month I used about 35gb. Exactly 2 months in got a termination email. It states “Despite these terms being clearly laid out in our terms and conditions, your usage patterns have continued to violate these terms. As a result your account has been permanently closed and service discontinued, effectively immediately.” No hint or details provided on how much is considered “fair use” how much to adjust usage, or even a place to check usage (you can look on your phone statistics but if you reset them, there is no place to find out)

Fonus scam

My Experience With Fonus I feel it’s important to share my recent experience with Fonus so other customers understand what they’re signing up for. I purchased their plan because it’s advertised everywhere as “unlimited fast data worldwide.” After using what I consider completely normal amounts of data for my professional work (40GB one month and 48GB the next), Fonus throttled my speed for days, making the service almost unusable. When I asked for clarification, the company stated that this level of usage violates their Fair Usage Policy, despite the fact that nowhere in the main advertising does it explain that normal usage levels would be considered “excessive” for an unlimited plan. When I insisted on transparency and pointed out the misleading advertising, instead of resolving the issue, Fonus terminated my service immediately. To be clear: • 40–48GB of monthly usage is perfectly normal for anyone who works with videos. • The plan is advertised as unlimited fast data, but the reality is nowhere close. • Their reaction to criticism was to shut down my service instead of fixing the issue. • I have requested a full refund and will pursue the appropriate legal steps. I’m sharing this so travelers and professionals can make an informed decision before choosing Fonus. Transparency matters, and customers deserve clear, honest information about what they are paying for. — Jaime
