Free Basic Internet (FBI) is a data bucket that is activated together with the SIM Pack. This will help subscribers who have either exhausted their existing data packages (bonus, mobile internet, paid or free) or subscribers who are yet to have any data packages, to enjoy always-on connectivity at no cost.

Yes! If you have FBI, you will no longer be charged pay-per-use rates if you don’t have any Data Plans.

No. Users who are enjoying FBI cannot opt for pay-per-use data usage.

Once 10GB FBI is exhausted, you can no longer enjoy data and you will need to subscribe to another Mobile Internet plan to continue to enjoy data.

You will also receive an SMS notification from the us when your BI quota usage is at 90% and 100%.

You can check this by dialing *134# (USSD) or send FBI STATUS to 2222 or within the Tune Talk App.

Quota balance also via FBI STATUS to 2222
