Just got the following txt from Skinny:

 

"Hey there. We know how important it is to stay in the loop at the moment, which is why we're launching Free Data Weekdays for the rest of April.
Between the hours of 9am and 5pm, we'll give you 1GB of free data each day from Monday to Friday.
You don't need to do anything, just stay put and remain an active customer and we'll sort the data! Data doesn't rollover. /Skinny"

 

Thanks Skinny! Nice to see your compassion (in the current circumstances) for extra data has extended to mobile users, as well as the free data already given to wireless broadband users.
Another reason to give Skinny a big thumbs up from me.

That's great. I'm guessing they mean 1GB of free data to use each day between 9am and 5pm. Someone really should proof read these messages before they go out...

Hmmm, must be gradual communication as I have not received the txt from Skinny.

Kids received the txt in the morning, I got mine this afternoon. 

 

However, I fail to see this is too exciting for us, given we are always at home on the wifi. 

 

Also, would love to see the cellular data usage history for the last 4 weeks -- could have dropped like a rock when the lockdown began. So, they may have a ton of excess capacity. Just guessing.

The free 1GB data starts at 9am tomorrow, just mentioned on Skinny's FB page. (the original SMS fails to mention when it was to start)
