Do you need your own data plan (not 0GB) to receive your extra rollovered data from previous month?

FizzySpring · September 2024

Let's say I will end my current billing cycle with a lot of unused extra mobile data. Let's say I change next billing-cycle's mobile plan to 0GB data. Could I use the unused data from this month next month? Or must I have at least a 1GB data plan?

I ask this question because I read that you need a data plan (i.e., not 0GB data plan) to receive data from others. So I wonder if this same must-have-your-own-data to receive your own data rollovers.

You will be able to use your rollover data but you wont be able to gift or receive data from someone else since you need a plan with data for that.

When does rolled over data expire

How do I know when my rolled over data will expire?

Each batch of rolled over data will expire after two (2) complete payment cycles, and this even if you change your plan.

To see when a Rollover will expire:

Go to My Plans in your Fizz account.

Under the plan you wish to view (if you have more than one) click on See Usage.

This will open the Usage screen, which lists all your gifts, Add-Ons, Rollovers, etc.

The blue arrow will tell you which data bucket you are currently using.

On the right hand side you can see how many days are left for your Rollover.

Does my rolled over data instantly expire when I change my plan?

Of course not. You keep your rolled over data for two (2) complete payment cycles even if you change your plan during that time, and even if that new plan has no data.

Warning: when your data is expired, it will show as used

yes you can use the unused data with a 0 data plan

You need a data plan only to receive gifted data
