Is the data “shock free” as koodo?

[ShanieBerthelot]

Hi,

Will I get a text message to notify me when I used 50% then 90% of my data as koodo does or do I have to keep track of it myself?

thanks

You usually get reminder texts for data running out.  Not always though.  Might want to keep track yourself.  

Once your data runs out, you will not be charged extra.  Your data just shuts off.

Or if you have a data add on, that will kick in until your renewal and the data comes back for your plan. The add on data carries over and only runs out when you use it up -- quite beneficial.

Texts come in at 75 and 95% of your data being used.

Yes since you don't get charged if ever you were to go over. They just cancel your data until the day your plan resets/ of if you purchase another plan.

Please be sure to read through the thread as to avoid repetition.  Data getting cutting off and no overages was mentioned hours ago.

This 'No Extra Charge' Feature is exclusive to Public Mobile and Bell`s Lucky Mobile. All other Prepaid Service providers you can certainly have extra c Pay per use charges, accidental, Data overcharges, long distance charges or any other surprise charges, if you carry a Positive Balance.

You are supposed to get the Notification but sometimes they don't come in. But the beauty of Public Mobile's Pay Before Prepaid Service is what ever is Paid for is what works. Meaning no overages or any kind of surprise charges what so ever. I mean none what so ever

That’s excellent!! Thanks

[ShanieBerthelot]

Thats fine too if it doesn’t notify me but just shuts off. I was just worried to get billed if I go over my data. Thanks!
