Bolt ons FAQs

Bolt-ons are additional services or allowances that you can add to your existing mobile phone plan. They provide extra capacity on top of your standard monthly allowance, typically for a fixed additional cost per month.

Common types of bolt-ons include:

• Data bolt-ons — extra GB of mobile data when your standard allowance is not enough
• International calling — reduced rates for calls to overseas numbers
• Roaming packages — affordable data and call bundles for use abroad
• Content subscriptions — streaming services, cloud storage, or security features

Bolt-ons can usually be added or removed at any time through your network app, online portal, or by contacting your provider. For business accounts managed by Connection Technologies, your account manager can add or adjust bolt-ons for you.
