What is the one-time activation cost?

Hi guys just wondering what does the one time activation cost mean?

Exactly that - it's a one time activation charge that applies when you buy your first membership plan.

€12.99 Plan

This €12.99 Plan is only available to new 48 customers who order their 48 SIM and purchase a €12.99 Plan from the 5^thApril 2022. A one-time activation fee of €12.99 applies with the first plan purchase.

From time to time 48 run a "second month free" offer which effectively cancels out the one-time activation fee.

It's not running at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if it was run again over Christmas/New Year 2025/2026.

Also, if you get your SIM via a Recruit and Reward referral link then you'll receive free credit which effectively cancels out the activation fee in part or full.
