How the Data Allowance Works
- The main allowance is one shared balance for Mainland China and the UK; it is not a full allowance for each country.
- The Europe allowance is separate from the main balance and is shared across all supported European roaming destinations.
- The Europe allowance is 5GB, 8GB or 12GB according to the selected plan; it is not that amount per destination.
- The provider information does not confirm whether data stops or continues at reduced speed after an allowance is exhausted.
- Network speed and 5G/4G availability depend on location, device compatibility, local coverage and congestion.
Calls, SMS and Mobile Number
- The 22GB plan includes 500 UK minutes.
- The 50GB plan includes 2,000 UK minutes plus 200 overseas minutes.
- The 120GB plan includes unlimited eligible UK calls plus 200 overseas minutes.
- The 200 overseas minutes apply only to the 15 listed overseas destinations.
- SMS allowance is not confirmed. The activation confirmation message is provided for setup only; it is not a general SMS bundle.
- Whether a permanent local mobile number is assigned is not confirmed for this product.
