What happens to data if you don't use it?

I bought 50gb worth of data on a pay as you go sim, I have only used 6gb of it, but it says I have 50gb until 09/05/25, will I lose 44gb after that?

Possibly, all packs & add-ons have a limited duration of either 7 or 30 days. However if it is in the form of a £20 pack & you top-up & buy the pack again within 7 days of its expiry, whatever data left over will rollover into the next pack.

Thank you very much, so if I buy it within a week after expiry it may roll over to my next plan?

Yes, if it's a pack & not an add-on.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.
