With Mobile Internet on Freedom you’ll never run out of value. After 30 days, we’ll automatically add a new Mobile Internet plan to your account and any remaining value will be carried over for another 30 days. If you use up all of your value before the end of the 30-day period, we’ll add another plan straight away, so you always stay connected.
If you like to prepay, you can go online with Red. Just grab your plan and start surfing. We’ll let you know when you’ve used 80% and 100% of your value, so you can add your next plan when you need it.
