monitor use on a monthly basis. If, in our reasonable opinion, you regularly exceed 40MB per day, we may tell you to reduce your future use. If you again regularly
exceed 40 MB per day, we may tell you that we are going to apply network protection controls, resulting in a reduced network speed for 14 days. If you exceed 40 MB
per day for a third time, we may tell you that we are going to apply further network protection controls, resulting in a permanently reduced network speed. We do not
permit use of this service to provide modem access for a computer or for peer to peer file sharing, internet phone calls or instant messaging.

date and thereafter the full monthly charge will be applied on each monthly payment date.
Only one allowance is allowed per month.
You must have sufficient credit on your account at your monthly payment date or the allowance will be removed.
Customers must keep the allowance for a minimum of one month. The monthly charge will continue until the customer requests the CSA to cancel the

Voicemail charges whilst roaming
If customers set a divert on their device to divert all calls to voicemail, or they do not switch their device on when they are roaming, they will only be charged if
they retrieve the voicemail whilst roaming(see below).
If customers set a divert on their device to divert to voicemail when: their line is busy; they do not answer the call, or the call is rejected –
then the customer is charged for;
1. Receiving a voicemail
The per minute incoming roaming rate for the incoming call; and, at the same time
The outgoing per minute roaming rate for making a call and
2. Retrieving a voicemail
The per minute outgoing roaming rate for making a call.
Please note that where roaming charges are applicable for receiving voicemails, these charges may continue to apply until you are re-connected to the T-Mobile
UK network. We therefore recommend that you turn on your phone as soon as permitted when you return to the UK. See ‘charges whilst abroad’ for details of all
roaming call rates.
