I have a question. Say I were to buy 100MB feature package for $19.99 on March 1, then what if I only used 50MB of the 100MB and I decided not to buy the feature package again on April 1. What would happen to the leftover 50MBs? And could you buy like two of the feature cards so you could have 200MB? Or does it not work that way? I'm quite fine that a 100MB plan is being released, however.

 

Thanks.

Alex, if you don't purchase another data package before April 1st, the remaining 50MB will be lost. However, if you do purchase another data package before your 30 day expiration date, the 50MB would roll over to the next 30 day period, giving you 150MB. Not sure if you could add 2 data packages at the same time or not, but I believe others were doing this, before the unlimited data plan went away, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Alright I see, thanks a lot for the help.  🙂

That's assuming that this new package allows rollover which, as of today, we still don't know.

The unlimited data allowed for stackable "expiration dates" up to 90 days which it was nice since rollover wouldn't make sense. With the 100Mb is anyone's guess for now which approach will be taken: Stackable expirations, rollover and a cap (300Mb?) or neither.

 

I don't understand why those 100Mb feature cards were already available if you can't still use them to buy such package yet. I just checked the PAYG IVR and still offers only 1Mb and 5Mb.
