Hi ​@Rheannon 

 

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

 

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing, especially as you've recently upgraded to a plan with unlimited data.

Regarding the data notifications, if your new contract includes unlimited data but your account is showing only 2GB and sending usage alerts, it sounds like there may be an issue with the plan details updating on your account. We'd like to check that your new contract has been applied correctly.

I'm also sorry to hear about the poor signal and call quality. If people are struggling to hear you during important calls, we understand how frustrating this must be. We'd like to investigate whether this is related to local coverage, network performance, or your device settings.
