The Bolt Ons you choose will automatically renew every month. But if your business needs change, you can remove your Bolt Ons or add new ones whenever you want. Just bear in mind that you won’t get an alert once you’ve used up your allowance, and you’ll then be charged the standard rates.
Want to add a Bolt On? Just speak to your account manager.
If you’re on a Business Essentials, Small Biz or Sim Only tariff, you can buy the 180 UK to EU minutes Bolt On for £5, twice in any billing month. The Bolt On gives you an extra 180 minutes to call Zones 1 and 2.
It’s a recurring monthly Bolt On, but you can add or remove it once per billing cycle.
If you don’t have an International Bolt On, or you’ve exceeded the caps on your inclusive tariff, you'll pay fixed rates for calling and texting contacts abroad.
