Scirocco, the same thing just happened to me. I bought €20/400 MB of European data roaming that is good for 7 days, and I was planning on using it on vacation in Spain. About six hours after I crossed the border, I received a text message saying that I'd used all of my data. I know I am a fairly big data user, but there's no way I used 400 MB in a matter of hours. Normally, I buy the 500 MB/2 week recharge when I'm in France, and even I don't use all 500 MB in two weeks.

The same exact thing also happened to my boyfriend's phone. His message came about two hours after mine, but there's still no way he used 400 MB of data in a few hours either. If this is a recurring problem with Orange France, then I should have just bought a prepaid Orange Spain SIM to use for the time that I was there.
