Here's What Happen To Your Unused Mobile Data Quota According To This Video

In the US and in most other countries when you pay for data each month, you lose what you don't use with most carriers. This is a major source of annoyance for just about everyone who has a mobile phone with a data plan. If you pay for something and don't use it all, you should get to keep that data. AT&T and other carriers in the US do allow you to roll over unused data.

The catch is that your extra data expires if you don't use it. That's not how it works with a carrier in New Zealand called 2degrees. With 2degrees all that data you don't use month to month just keeps rolling over. That means you can use your data at your leisure, I wish this is how carriers in the US and other countries handled data roll over.

2degrees has a new commercial that you can view below that talks about what might happen to all that data people don't use each month that gets disappears. You get two Kiwis sitting on a bench wondering if there is some sort of black market for data. Perhaps that data just sits in a massive data warehouse decomposing.

Then the dudes reckon perhaps it is smuggled out of the country and auctioned off. In the end, our pal Kevin just figures that the unused data is sold back to customers the next month. The commercial is funny and is definitely worth a watch is you can spare 45 seconds. I'm still waiting for the day when a carrier comes out with a data plan that just charges me for what I use each month, nothing more or less.
