Seasonal Standby Plan Expands to 6 Months

This went into effect last month, but it slipped my mind until today. The Seasonal Standby plan was originally available for up to 6 months, then it was reduced to 3 months, and after much debate, it is once again (and for good) set back to being available for up to 6 months at a time.

• Consumer and IL customers can now remain on the SSBY for a total of 6 instead of 3 months.


• All other requirements remain the same:
  
  
  
  • Customers must be on a regular plan for at least 3 months before qualifying for SSBY.
  
  
  • Services are disabled on SSBY
  
  
  • Service Agreements are frozen while on SSBY
  
  
  • SSBY should be provisioned using next day or another future date as the effective date.
  
  
  • Customers should not be promised a return to their old plan when the phone is reactivated
