Check your confirmed dates
Your account shows the funding start and end dates. Funding starts on confirmed service activation, not when you save a code, submit an application, receive approval or receive a SIM.
The initial programme provides a funded period of at least six months as described in your confirmed award. Use the dates in your account rather than calculating an end date from an application email.
Optional extras
The funded recurring Essential plan is £0 for the confirmed period. Optional UK data add-ons and other chargeable services are separate. Do not assume a new paid-SIM discount applies to Community upgrades or extras.
Near the end of funding
Continued funding depends on an approved place. A supporter can ask about continuing support or making a place available to someone else; Kettle confirms the outcome.
You may choose a paid plan and keep your number when funding ends. Kettle does not automatically move you to a paid plan or charge a card without your agreement.
Ask before the end date
Contact support to confirm extension availability, any paid option and the arrangements for your number. Do not assume funding continues automatically.
