An Unlimited Plan has no total data limit for the trip — you get a generous allowance of full-speed data every day, and the connection keeps working after it, at a lower speed, until the next daily reset
It is built for people who do not want to count. Rather than one pot of data for the whole trip, you get a fresh full-speed allowance each day, and running past it slows the connection rather than stopping it.
How a Day Works
- The day begins with your full-speed allowance restored
- You browse, stream, navigate and tether as normal
- If you use the whole allowance, the connection continues at a reduced speed
- Twenty-four hours later, full speed returns automatically
Reduced speed still carries messaging, maps, email and web pages. What it will not carry comfortably is high-definition video and large downloads. Nothing disconnects, and nothing extra is charged.
Who It Suits
Good Fit
- Long trips where estimating data is guesswork
- Working remotely, with calls most days
- Sharing the connection with a laptop or a travelling companion
- Anyone who would rather not watch a counter
Poor Fit
- A short trip with light use — a small Time-Based Plan costs less
- Anyone expecting no speed management at all
The daily full-speed allowance is set by the local network and differs by destination, so it is shown on the plan itself rather than being one figure everywhere. Read it before buying — see Is an Unlimited Plan Really Unlimited?
