I've received a text message from 1215, as below, offering an Unlimited Data Pass for £5 extra per month. It's an offer I've been waiting for and an improvement on the £10/mth I've seen for a little time.
Can anyone who has activated the Unlimited Data Pass for £5/mth confirm that it functions as one would expect based on the below wording, and whether there are any corner issues or gotchas to be aware of?
Does anyone know how many days the offer is likely to be open for as my 200 GB allowance refreshes tomorrow so I don't feel it makes any sense to attempt to activate today as it risks falling into the previous period so I might have it for three hours and it could refresh at midnight (I would be interested to hear if this is not the case). Do I have to reply YES today or can I do that tomorrow, or some days or months from now?
An aside that it's a bit weird that it says I've run out of data as managed to consume 93.1 GB of Reserve Data and will be posting this using Reserve Data.

A little explanation of why £5/mth is worth doing and £10/mth is not is because I currently use the Amazon Smart Benefit valued at £5.99/mth and I could simply swap this out for the EE Video Pass at £8.99/mth which would cover the bulk of my data usage.
