renew now
H_2179833 I do see the problem. I imagine that they (the bean counters) have weighed up the demand for various features against the likely cost of implementation (less the cost of lost business) and decided against.
As the cost of data seems to be falling - plans have ever more data for the same price it seems - people are buying slightly bigger than they require.
If it's only the plan data allowance that's exhausted, why not simply buy a data add-on, to keep you going until the renewal date, H_2179833?
Data add-ons don't expire, so if the add-on data isn't used up before by the renewal date, it stays on the account - available to use if the plan data allowance runs out before renewal some other time.
because its an additional expense for the month - instead of paying say 10 a month, now its 10 + 5, instead of just 10 again but a few days earlier - for each kid. Hopefully he'll be able to use the extra data next time he does this as well
Okay H_2179833, if plan data allowance runs out early every month, perhaps it time to change to a plan with a bigger monthly data allowance?
Although a £5 data add-on, gets 5GB data, might last for several months, depending how soon the plan allowance runs out each month.
I guess the giffgaff way means it doesn't feel like you're paying more each month, whenever you renew early.
