How does the new 130GB BIgga plan work?
The 130GB Bigga plan offers customers 130GB, valid for 30 days, PLUS 3GB data daily once the 130GB is depleted. Customers will stay online with 3GB daily until the 130GB Bigga plan expires.
What happens if I still have data left and my validity has run out?
Customers will be unable to use their unused data beyond the validity period. When this occurs, customers have a grace period to renew their plan and roll over unused data.
During the grace period, customers will not lose unused data from the previous month at the expiry of their data plan. Customers can renew their data plans within this period and roll over their unused data when they recharge with a new data plan.
What are the usage terms for data rollover?
Data rollover terms of use:
Data rollover is available on all data plans except SmileUnlimited plans.
From 26th June 2018, data rollover now makes provision for a “grace period” which enables customers additional time to recharge with a new data plan to roll over unused data.
During the “grace period”, unused data is not lost and the customer has the opportunity to renew their data plan within this “grace period” to roll over unused data.
Data rollover is available by default to all data plans (including 365 days validity plans) including the new “grace period”.
To roll over unused data a customer is required to buy the same data plan or upgrade their data plan to a higher-value data plan for the unused data to roll over. For example; when a 2GB data plan expires and there is 200MB data left in this plan, the customer’s unused 200MB will roll over when the customer recharges with another 2GB or bigger data plan before the “grace period” expires.
The customer will be notified via SMS, to the mobile number registered with Smile, on successful rollover of unused data.
The customer can also send a data balance inquiry, by sending “Y” from SmileVoice to 343 (FREE) or log into MySmile to view data balance.
The “grace period” applies to all data plans and is available as follows:

What is the validity of the FREE Streaming data?
The validity of the FREE streaming data is the same as the Bigga plan with which it is included, which is 30 days.
Do customers get FREE streaming data with each Bigga plan?
Customers can accumulate streaming data only if they purchase a higher-value Bigga plan in the 30-day validity period than the initial Bigga plan and where this Bigga plan also includes FREE streaming data. Any streaming data left will be forfeited when buying the same Bigga plan or lower.
For example, if a customer buys a 3GB Bigga plan, the customer will receive 5GB streaming data valid for 30 days. If the customer then buys another 3GB Bigga plan or lower bundle within the 30-day validity period of the initial bundle, the customer will not get more FREE streaming data. However, if the customer buys a 5GB Bigga plan or higher plan, the customer will get 5GB streaming data, valid for the duration of the 5GB Bigga plan validity.
Can you use the FREE Streaming data anytime like the main bundle?
The usage time during the day/night for the main bundle remains unchanged while the FREE streaming data can only be used between 11pm and 6am.

How does BONUS on recharge work?
Some Starter KITs include a volume of BONUS recharge data that customers get when they recharge the months following their KIT purchase. For example, "30GB BONUS recharge for the following 6 months valid 14 days" would mean that customers get 5GB BONUS data every month they recharge with a minimum value of N3,300. If I recharge with 10GB the month after my KIT purchase, valued at N3,300, I will receive an additional 5GB BONUS data valid for 14 days.
