Does Data Roll Over Applies To Any Of The Rain Packages?
On Rain packages, monthly data expires at the end of the following month. Customers who did not exhaust all their monthly data by the end of the month are allowed to continue using the next month as the remaining data are rolled over to the next month.
In essence, rolled-over data is consumed first before new data. This roll-over offer is available for the LTE Package.
However, if for any reason you change your package by migrating to a new package in a new month, any leftover data from the previous package will not be rolled over into the new month. You would have to start your new package on a clean slate.
Which Routers Does Rain Network Work Well With?
It’s been found that the Rain data sim card works better in a router than in a mobile phone as a hotspot. The network also works very well with Huawei B315 and B618 routers. Other routers that you can use include Vodafone Huawei E5786, E5788, Huawei E5885 MiFi Netgear AC790S, AC791S/L, AC810S, & AC815S Dell 5811e Sierra Wireless EM7430, EM7455, EM7455, MC7430, and MC7455.
