reaching my data limit

featherland — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 19:18:50 GMT

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if PM would pause my data when I reached 100% of my monthly data limit like Koodo does so I dont end up having unexpected data charges? I have been notified at 75% and 90% which is nice (and thanks PM), and I am close to being at 100%. Pausing data and let me choose if I want to add more at 100% would really be helpful, isnt it?

Thanks in advance

There is no overage. Once it is used up data just stops. Its prepaid... So you cant go over.

Once you used up. Then you do have a option to buy extra data add on.

No need to be worried..... once you reach your 100% of data used, you won't get data at all nor overcharged. In this case, if you wanna have data, you can purchase more or you wait until your next circle.

Just relax...

So it does stop when it is at 100% and there is no data overage charges. Thanks guys.

FYI, the link below is what I just read.

isnt this rediculous?

Also, a lot of the bigger carriers in the U.S. are having unlimited cellphone plans now and a friend of mine from the US was just here last week and he was using his data plan and text here in Canada without any additional charges. I was shocked. Not saying that we should match them but are we really that far behind in technology? just a thought.

Yes once you reach your limit, you will no longer have data to use. If you'd like you can purchase an addon.

It is recomwnded to get a data tracking app like my data manager. It tracks over 90 days.

Beware of data usage because it is over 90 days(if on 90 day plan) and you could accedently use all your data on day one and be without data for the next 89 days.

No we are just lacking the competition of companies providing the services to drop the prices.

Recommend download data witness or my data management for data usage works pretty good.
