Data banking is a great feature available to Dodo mobile customers on certain plans. It allows you to bank your unused data from the previous billing period to the current billing period. This ensures that you receive the full value from your data plan inclusions*.

Example

If you were on the 45GB plan and only used 25GB for the month, the remaining 20GB would be banked and will be added to the next month’s data allowance. This means that you would have 65GB for the next month.

What’s the catch?

There is no catch, to enjoy Dodo mobile Data Banking, you need to be on an eligible plan, and make sure that you monthly bill is paid on time.
