FAQ

FAQ

Why does the same mobile carriers offer look different in two places?

Terms differ by channel: caps, minimum spend and eligible days are set separately.

Is the largest percentage always the best deal?

Not necessarily: a lower rate without a cap can return more than a high rate capped low.

Where do I confirm an offer?

Only on the official website or app of the company running it, right before you pay.
