aw: I have an expiry question ...

If I buy 2x 50MB national data packs at the same time, today, which of these two things happen?

1) The second pack kicks in when the first pack expires or runs out, then and its 30 day validity starts from that point - when it is first used

-or-

2) Both packs expire 30 days from today.

Does anyone know which one it is? I'm hoping I can stockpile data packs. This is for a backup internet connection where a 3G USB modem I bought on Friday will be plugged into a router with 3G fallback - I won't be interacting with it directly often so I'd like to set and forget rather than have to deal with it monthly.

I'm pretty sure it is option 2.

Wow, quick replies!

Disappointing tho that there appears to be no way to lock in or set and forget data bundles for a longer period of time.

2Degrees please take note. Option 1 above is a very customer focussed suggestion!
