The service is also known as the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Blocker. It automatically stops mobile internet when a data package expires or its full data limit is used.

What is PAYG and why is Balance Save important?

PAYG stands for Pay-As-You-Go, which means customers are charged for internet usage from their available balance after their data package ends. These extra charges can reduce mobile balance without users immediately noticing.

The Balance Save service blocks internet access when the data package expires or its full allowance is consumed. However, it does not provide additional data or increase the validity of an existing package.

Activating Balance Save can help mobile users avoid unexpected internet charges. Customers should activate the service before their data packages expire to keep their remaining balance protected.
