What happens if you go over your allowance? Do they cut you off or add a surcharge?

If I initially want to only try it for one month, should I give my month's notice on the same day that I set it up? Is that even allowed?
This is Smarty, i am on the 30gb for £10 but it's boosted to 50gb in an offer.

The current offers are here.

Thank you

The best deals for me look to be 100 GB for £12 or unlimited for £16.

If i've understood it correctly, it's 200 GB for £17!! People would might as well pay a quid less for unlimited

Ask SnoopZ to send you a referral link to sign up with Smarty, you'll both get a £10 Amazon voucher about a week after sign up.

Re: Best free or cheap mobile data services.

What are people's using all this data for? I never get close to my 3gb monthly limit on my £5 ASDA bundle.

Re: Best free or cheap mobile data services.

You will be surprised how little IT there is in many carehomes, other than a bog standard home type router in an office that is about the extent of it.

Now if you are lucky enough to be in the Yorkshire and Humber area the local authority has been funding such project to extend this in the carehomes in some of the areas.
