Boosters for prepaid plans

I am massively confused by my account right now. Last summer, I got a text saying that the monthly fee was going from $15 to $18 on my prepaid plan, which was for unlimited text and 100 minutes of Canada wide calling. I was very happy with that plan because I make and receive very few phone calls and just bought data boosters periodically as I used them up. But a few months later, I tried to buy an additional data booster and was told - by a HUMAN agent, not an AI - that there were no boosters any more and that my $18 plan now gave me UNLIMITED calling (and I think texting) but only a very limited amount of data - 250 MB or thereabouts - and that I’d have to pay more if I wanted more data. I told him to leave me with that plan for the moment so that I could see if it that was sufficient for my modest needs. 

Today, I went into my account and noticed that it was back to 100 minutes of calling and there were a variety of boosters again; my data was almost exhausted so I bought another data booster of 3 GB for $15. But then I noticed that there was a notation of 30/30 and found that this meant that whatever I hadn’t used in 30 days would be lost to me. I know I will never used up 3 GB in one month so asked the AI about this and it gave me contradictory information that implied that unused data would indeed be forfeit after 30 days AND that it would roll-over until used up.

Right now, I am completely baffled about what’s actually going to happen! Can someone enlighten me? 

Again,, let me stress that I’m a PREPAID customer, not a MONTHLY customer.  I’ve got a bad feeling that the human who helped me with my account mistook me for a monthly customer and gave me completely inaccurate information. I’m hoping that I can continue buying data boosters that roll-over until they are used up. But if I’m mistaken, I want to RETURN the 3GB  booster and buy a much smaller data booster that more closely reflects what I’ll actually use in a month.

Hi ​@Rhino 

We are sorry to hear about the confusion created!

The prepaid add-ons do expire after 30 days. The old boosters that used to roll over until they were depleted, were discontinued back In July 2025

Can I return a booster that I bought this morning and haven’t started using yet? I can’t use 3 GB of data in a single month so I’d rather return the 3 GB and use the money to buy smaller boosters that I would actually be able to use up in 30 days.

Also, where can I find a complete list of both prepaid and monthly plans so that I can see if you have something that better meets my needs? I use the phone very little to make or receive calls; I need something inexpensive that gives me more data and texting than phone minutes.

@Rhino 

As much as we want to help, we have limited access here when it comes to prepaid accounts, so you would need to schedule a call back and speak with a rep from the Prepaid support team.

You can compare the prepaid and postpaid plans here:
