Before you rely on a result

Read the confirmation returned by the operator. If the menu, code or app differs from this guide, stop and check the linked official source or contact the operator; do not keep sending chargeable requests.

  • The NCC market table used here is current to April 2026; it does not establish that every operator instruction will remain unchanged after this guide's check date.
  • T2's official pages currently contain a mixture of T2, MyT2, 9mobile and Ig9ite naming, so confirm the branding shown on your SIM or account before continuing.
  • Bundle prices, allowances, eligibility and auto-renewal rules can change. Review the operator's confirmation screen or message before paying.
