Data Explained

Everything you need to know about data with your 1GLOBAL SIM.

What Is Data?

Data is any information that is downloaded from the internet to your handset. When you read your emails, stream music and video or access your favourite news site, you are using data. Some applications also use data to store and access information and run in game advertisements.

Data Speeds

Depending on the network coverage in your location, you could experience a range of different data speeds. Information about your data connection can usually be found in the top right corner of your screen, next to the battery bar.
