Bolt Ons for Pay Monthly plans
Bolt Ons are products which can be added to your regular monthly plan, whenever you need them. For For example, if you’re running low on data, you can top up with a Data Bolt On. There’s also an International Bolt On for calling abroad, and a range of Travel Bolt Ons if you're going away yourself.
