Before you pay
Read the operator's confirmation before approving the purchase. Check the price, everyday data, restricted extras, validity and whether the bundle renews automatically.
- 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.
