>Just HOLD ON a minute here, everyone!
>No one is addressing the REAL problem, which is, TEAMS on your PC not only causes "notifications" to come through on your nearby cell phone.....under certain circumstances (a less than perfect Wi-Fi connection, for example) the Teams app on your PC can just "latch on" to the mobile data connection on your cell and "suck your data plan dry!!"
>My wife experienced the same situation YOU had:
>Involved in a Teams call on her PC (while at a cottage last week).....her phone kept sending her messages from our mobile provider (Rogers) saying that her data usage had reached 75% of her allotment; then 15 minutes later, the message saying NINETY percent of her allotment......then, within 45 minutes of having started up the Teams call, her phone's data plan was GONE! Totally used up.....and no explanation of why.
>She ended her call and asked me to see what the messages on her phone meant.
>Long story longer, I called Rogers and they said the Teams app on the laptop had "preferred" the mobile data connection of the phone over the wi-fi connection of the cottage........so it just went ahead and used it all up! And any data she'd use between then and the end of the billing period would be billed as overage at $1000 per minute......(or whatever)!
>Kidding.....but, exorbitant compared to the regular package plan.
>I claimed BS and demanded a refund.....which they say we'll get....IF we remember to claim it......NEXT MONTH, when our bill comes........AND WE PHONE and spend 30 minutes on hold.....THEN, THE MONTH AFTER, we'll get a credit on our bill.
>So.....yeah, either Microsoft or the Cell industry.....how about a frickin WARNING that our data is being "eaten alive" without permission/warning!!!!
