How long does it take for data services and tariffs to be added to my mobile number before I can start using my phone for internet browsing and emails?

The networks quote 24-48 working hours to ensure all tariff and network amendments are made before you start using data on your device. This ensures that all your data usage is included in your newly allocated bundle and you don’t accrue any unwanted charges. It is always recommended that you wait to receive confirmation from our support team that your request has been completed before you start to use your data services.
