There are several major ambiguities on this web page.
Ambiguity #1 Bars
Turn bars on and off to control how your phone or device is used - and how much you spend.
[Is the "bar" referred to the small display bar on the phone screen, or is a barring mechanism that will block calls and messages? The presence of a bar on my display usually means I can make/receive calls, but a bar on my phone means I'm barred from making/receiving calls. The ambiguity would be removed by simply stating, e.g. The bar is the symbol on your phone display ][But if it really is the bar on the display, then this contradicts with Making calls and sending texts while abroad - Find out more -To stop being able to make calls or send text messages from your phone while you're abroad, turn the bar on.
Ambiguity #2 Calling and texting while outside the UK
Stop your phone from receiving calls and texts while you're outside the UK
[ reponse options: yes or no ]
[Do the "yes/no" options refer to stopping the service or enabling the service, i.e. am I saying in response "Yes, stop the receiving of calls" or am I saying "No, I don't want to receive calls" ?]
[The ambiguity would be removed by simply asking a direct, closed question, e.g. Do you want to stop your phone from receiving calls and texts while you're outside the UK?]
Ambiguity #3 Find out more
To stop calls being made and received - and texts sent and received - on your phone while you're outside the UK, turn the bar on.
[ so do "on" and "off" correspond to "yes" and "no" response options above, or is it the other way round? ]
[The ambiguity would be removed by simply asking a direct, closed question, e.g. Do you want to turn the bar off?][assuming you know what bar means (a display icon or barring/blocking]
