When the data runs out

480GB included, then slowed.

When the 480GB runs out, you're slowed to 1.5Mbps instead of being cut off or charged. That is enough for messages and maps, but slow for video. Whether unused data carries over is not recorded for this plan, so check the Critical Information Summary.

  • The price stays the same all year, so there is no deal to run out.
