All MATE mobile plans come with data banking, so you can keep your unused data each month.
How does data banking work?
Let’s say you’re on a 160GB mobile plan. You’d start your monthly cycle with 160GB of data. At the end of the month, you’ve only used 60GB.
Instead of losing the remaining 100GB, it gets added to your “bank” for when you need it.
You’d now have a total of 260GB of data (160GB for this month, plus 100GB of “banked” data you didn’t use last month).
All MATE mobile plans include a data bank of 1000GB.
💡 Note: Any data in your data bank is forfeited if you downgrade to a lower-cost monthly plan. Your banked data will stay if you upgrade to a higher-cost monthly plan, or switch from a grandfathered 4G plan to a 5G plan.
How to check your data bank
To see how much data you’ve got banked, you can:
- Download the myMATE app on your iPhone or Android device
- Log into the MATE self-care portal online
- Text ‘Bal‘ to 179
