  1. Prepay Plans can only be purchased on Prepay. Prepay Plans are not available for purchase on any Plan made available by 2degrees on a Pay Monthly or Business Account.
  2. Prepay Plans are valid for either 1 month or 14 days from the date of purchase as applicable (Validity Period) and will automatically renew each month or 14 days thereafter as applicable (Renewal Date) if there is sufficient Re-charge Credit on your Prepay Account at the time of renewal (e.g. if you purchased your Monthly Prepay Plan on 4 August, it will automatically renew on 4 September and on the 4th day of each month thereafter and if you purchased your Fortnightly Prepay Plan on 4 August, it will automatically renew on 18 August and every 14 days thereafter).
  3. If you do not have enough Re-charge Credit on your Prepay Account to pay for the renewal of your Prepay Plan on its Renewal Date, the Prepay Plan will not renew and will go on hold for 3 months from the Renewal Date.
  4. If you top up your Prepay Account with sufficient Re-charge Credit while your Prepay Plan is on hold, the Prepay Plan will automatically renew and future renewals will continue to occur on the date you topped up. This becomes your new Renewal Date. If you do not renew your Prepay Plan within 3 months your Prepay Plan will be cancelled and you will need to purchase a new Prepay Plan if you wish to have it again.
  5. You can stop your Prepay Plan from renewing any time prior to its Renewal Date or while the Prepay Plan is on hold.
  6. We will do our best to send you a text before your Renewal Date to remind you to top-up and will also do our best to send you a text if your Prepay Plan does not renew for any reason. We won’t be liable to you if you do not receive this text.
  7. Unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions, if your Prepay Plan is cancelled in accordance with clause 7 or clause 8, you will lose all unused minutes and data (including any accrued Carryover Minutes or Carryover Data) and texts at the end of the Prepay Plan’s Validity Period.
  8. You may purchase as many Prepay Plans as you require at any one time. If you purchase more than one Prepay Plan, the Prepay Plan that expires first will be used first. Only your most recent Prepay Plan will renew on its Renewal Date.
