Requested refund from Apple & Developer. *2025-10-31, version 2.7.7* Written to Apple support hope they would refund today. My account is charged with £69.99 There was an issue with my pad pro & decided to install a free phone app and I was shocked to see a charge on the credit card account when it was a free trial. My ISP had a problem in transferring PAC CODES over to a new ISP when I have never installed a phone pad on an Apple iPad Pro before. A free version Just to try out the NEW FREE PHONE APP. There is NO PHONE KEY PAD ONLY SIM ONLY DATA. I AM HORRIFIED! PUT IT RIGHT NOW. MISUNDERSTOOD!
