Mobile network operator O2 (Virgin Media) has revealed that their partnership with the digital inclusion charity, the Good Things Foundation, has so far helped to provide more than 550,000 UK people – those experiencing financial difficulties – with free mobile broadband data, calls and texts via SIMs supplied through the National Databank.
In practical terms, the operator typically offers 25GB of free mobile data per month (this supports rollover) to eligible users via the National Databank, which is in addition to 50 international minutes to 42 countries, unlimited UK minutes and unlimited texts.
Once a SIM card is issued by the databank, the user will receive monthly texts on the activation anniversary date for up to 12 months with voucher codes for the next month of service / allowances.
