Some other things you may want to know about the annual plan include the following:
- The annual plan is not refundable. Before subscribing to an annual plan you first have to subscribe to a monthly plan. The monthly plan does come with a 14-day money back guarantee. So if you are unhappy with your service during that time span, you can get your money back. Once you commit to an annual plan though, you are locked in.
- The plan does not auto-renew. If at the end of the year you'd like to renew for another year you have to manually renew, otherwise, you'll automatically be placed back on the monthly plan you were on before signing up for an annual plan option.
- You cannot make changes to the base plan during the 12th month period, however, you can always add a one-time data purchase to the plan.
