them. They are purchased from your account balance. The bundles
last for one calendar month (for example, if you buy one on 4th
June it will run until midnight on 3rd July) or until the data has been
completely used up. After the bundle expires, you will revert to the
Pre-Pay rate, provided you have credit.
