Airtime and data

Choose data for the way you really use your phone

The right bundle depends on how you use the phone, not on the biggest number on the label.

Before you buy data for yourself or for family, think about what the phone is used for most. Calls and messages need little data. Video and app updates need a lot.

Match the bundle to the use

  • Messaging and calls: a small bundle is usually enough.
  • Video and social media: choose a larger bundle.
  • Work or study: check whether the bundle is valid at the hours you need it.

Check how long it lasts

Bundles expire. A larger bundle that expires in a few days may cost more than a smaller one you will use in time.

Check the network and the number

Choose the network the phone is on and re-read the number before you pay, especially when you are buying for someone else.

Common questions

Can I buy data for someone in another country?
Yes, where the network is supported. Pick their country and network first, then check the number.
