If I upgrade my plan, how does data consumption work?


Your overages will count against the current active subscription on your billing day of the month.

Example: If you start the month with the 50GB Mobile Priority plan, and upgrade to the 1 TB plan after you exceed your allotted 50GB, your new plan will now have 950 GB remaining for use. (1 TB of the new plan – 50 GB already used = 950 GB remaining against the 1 TB plan).
