Zen (Series I) plans have 5 allowances that work concurrently. These are:
  • Minutes of Talk
  • Unlimited Text
  • Included Data
  • Unlimited Social Networking
  • International Calls
Because the allowances work concurrently, unlike some other plans you don't need to use up all of your allowance on one box before you get the other.

Some important things to remember:
  • If you exceed the usage on one of the box's allowances, the excess cannot be put into another box. For example if you exceed the included data allowance, the excess will be charged on top of your plan access fee. 
  • If you exceed the included value in any one billing period the standard rates of your plan will apply.
