my 3 allowance query

wod1 · 30-09-2013, 09:36

i've looked in the 3 faqs and i cant see an answer to my query.

I was on the ultimate internet sim only 200 for a few months after contract finished last october and i have upgraded to iphone 5s on friday.

My account has updated to show the new plan but i would like to know what one of these is for

In the allowances list there is,

Internet (megabytes*) 5120
All you can eat data included

i'm still using my old allowance until the 21st october though.

Can anyone explain what the internet 5120 is for, is this a tethering allowance ?

tethering allowance is unlimited on "The One Plan" and there is no tethering on any other plan.

The "5120" is likely what you have left over from your previous plan which will be used first and then your new plan will come into place, nothing to worry about, it'll either disappear after your new bill cycle starts or when that allowance has finished.

yeah the strange thing is i've already got unlimited data with the ultimate internet sim 200 that i'm on until the 21st october when i shall change over to ultimate internet 500.

Mine was like that before changing to the one plan, it takes a few days or weeks to update, when it does it will just say "all you can eat data- included"

I'm not sure it will change, when I was on the sim 300 package which included unlimited data - it said 1024mb every month and never changed.

IIRC my monthly bill had an unlimited internet surchange then reduction.

I believe the all you can eat line is a flag that overwrites the MB used section.

When I switch to the one plan the MB used line went away.
