Not only that, but we also want to equip you with more data, so let us introduce our additional feature: Flexi Data.
We have Flexi Data
We're giving you full control of your data. That means you can share it, swap it, save it for a rainy day, carry it over to next month or even donate it to charity. The choice is yours! Click here to learn more or continue reading below for a summary:
- The Safe – Save your unused data to your safe. You’re in charge, there’s no waste with this feature! Save data to your safe rather than letting it expire, and you can unlock it in a later plan when you need it most.
- Carryover – It’s like the Safe, but instead of putting your data away and taking it out again, you choose the amount of data you want to carry into your next plan.
- Swap – Not a talker? We got you! With this new feature, you can convert some or all of your call allowance into additional data.
- Donate – If you don’t need your full data allowance or don’t want to leave your remaining allowance expire, then we would encourage you to be the best you and donate to our chosen charity partner.
- Spot Me – Running low on data? With Spot Me, you can borrow 1GB from your next plan!
- Share – Feeling generous or just in need of some GB? The Share feature gives you the freedom to share or receive data with friends.
