Internet usage must comply with the Fair Usage Policy (FUP). If excessive usage in a short period of time causes a surge in traffic, telecom operators have the right to regulate it, which will cause a short-term speed reduction or network disconnection. It is recommended to turn off automatic app updates and automatic video playback on your phone.
International Fair Use Terms To ensure that all users have fair access to mobile network services at all times, each telecom operator has its own fair use agreement to regulate fair network usage. When a user uses too much data in a busy network area within a short period of time, causing other users to be unable to use the network normally, the telecommunications company may temporarily limit the speed. Our company will not be able to intervene and your mobile network may be temporarily affected. To ensure normal use, please try to avoid watching videos for a long time or updating software and other tools that consume a lot of data.
Please be aware that the quality of Internet access may be affected by factors such as location, terrain, building shielding, number of users and weather.
Please remember to turn off data roaming on the original SIM card to avoid using the mobile network of the original SIM card and incurring high roaming charges.
Cancellation Policy
