Fair Use Policy

How our unlimited plans actually work — in plain English

Our unlimited plans give you a generous daily high-speed allowance. Once you’ve used it, your connection keeps working — just at a slower speed — until midnight, when it resets. You’re never cut off, and you’re never charged extra.

The three rules

1
You get a daily high-speed allowance.

Usually 1 GB or 2 GB per day, depending on the plan you pick. Use it for whatever you like — streaming, video calls, big downloads, gaming.

2
If you use it up, your speed drops — but you stay connected.

Once you’ve used the day’s allowance, your connection slows (typically to around 1 Mbps). That’s still enough for messaging, maps, email, and light browsing.

3
It resets every 24 hours.

The next day you’re back at full speed with a fresh allowance, until your plan duration ends.

What works on the slower speed

If you’ve used your daily allowance, here’s what to expect for the rest of the day:

Works fine

  • WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage, Telegram
  • Google Maps, Citymapper, Uber
  • Email and light web browsing
  • Music streaming on standard quality
  • Social media feeds (text and photos)
  • Mobile banking and 2FA

May struggle

  • HD video streaming (Netflix, YouTube HD)
  • Video calls in HD quality
  • Large file uploads and downloads
  • Online gaming
  • Tethering several devices at once

Why we have a Fair Use Policy

Mobile networks are shared. Without a Fair Use Policy, a small number of very heavy users could make the network slow for everyone else. By giving everyone a generous high-speed allowance — plus continued (slower) connectivity for the rest of the day — we keep prices low and the network reliable for all our customers.

The goal isn’t to limit you. It’s to keep things fair, predictable, and never end with a surprise bill or a sudden disconnection.

Where to check your plan’s exact figures

  • Before you buy: each plan’s detail page lists the daily allowance and the throttled speed. Look for the “Fair Usage” section.
  • After you buy: the same details show on your eSIM detail page in your account.

Common questions

Will my plan stop working when I hit the daily limit?

No. You stay connected — just at a reduced speed until the next 24-hour reset. You won’t be disconnected and you won’t be charged extra.

Does the slower data still count as “unlimited”?

Yes. There’s no cap on slower data — you can use as much as you need. The daily reset only affects access to the high-speed allowance.

When exactly does my daily allowance reset?

Every 24 hours, until your plan duration ends. Most plans reset at midnight in the destination’s local time zone — check the plan detail page for any plan-specific timing.

Can I top up to get back to full speed sooner?

Top-ups aren’t available on daily “unlimited” plans — the daily reset is built in. If you regularly need more high-speed data, a plan with a higher daily allowance, or a fixed-data plan with a larger bucket, may suit you better.

What if I think my plan isn’t behaving as described?

Get in touch with our support team — we’ll investigate. Speeds can vary by location, network congestion, and the device you’re using, but if something looks off we’d like to know.
