Conclusion
All the plans come with an AI-powered spam protection solution integrated into the network. You will get a suspected spam alert on your phone for incoming spam calls or SMS, ensuring you stay secure against spam or fraudulent calls. Unlimited 5G data is over and above your plan limit and can be used in 5G network areas only. Upon latching onto other 2G/4G networks, data will be deducted from the main balance. If your phone supports 5G-only mode, enable it to stay on the safe side. There are other prepaid plans that cater to higher usage too, which we will explore in a separate story.
