6GB one-time bonus

[ponderarmbroke]

On my account I have this:

Add-On Usage

0.0%

6 GB

6GB one-time bonus

6 GB left

Does anyone know how I activate this bonus, and when I do, do I get all the 6GB until I use it up, or does it expire after a month if I do not use all of the 6GB within 30 days?

Smart thinking.....ask questions first so you don't shoot yourself in the foot later. I have a little over 100mb left from my August 2019 gifted add on. So it stays there forever if it takes that long to use it up.

Thank you @darlicious.  Yes, I have those limits set on my phone too.  This is the first month I have gone over my plan allotment, due to being away camping.  I would like to access the 6GB one-time bonus, but I did not want to start using it just a few days before my month was over, only accessing a small bit of it, only to have the remainder disappear next month.

Your welcome! I'm always happy to help. You may want to employ your data warning and data limiter in your phone. Public mobile's 7t% and 95% data usage warnings are sent based on the total data in your account. Set your data usage tools for your plan data alottment. Then you will know when you start using add on data. Presonally i set mine at 25% for the warning and 50% for the limiter and reset as necessary. I have plan data of 250mb but 20gb+ of add on data. I want to strictly monitor any usage past plan data each 30 days.

Yes....if you use only 735mb you will 289mb+5gb to use going forward.

I cannot remember, but it was just given to me several months ago for some reason, some promotional reason.  So if I use 1 GB this month, will 5GB still be available for me next month?

Nice....this must be an old promotion and you have never exceeded your plan data to tap into it. It will just sit there rolling over every 30 days until its needed.

@ponderarmbroke the one time bonus will kick in automatically when your regular data are used up.  Bonus data has no expiry date and will roll over to next month if not used up.  So, keep them until you need

How and when did you get this 6GB bonus?

Usually bonuses do not expire until you use them all.

6GB are ready for you to use at any time and there is no activation process for it.
