1. The TNT Prepaid GSM Service is designed to work only if the subscriber has the following:
   • a GSM dual-band or higher cellular mobile telephone handset, compatible with the 2G/3G/4G/LTE/5G network;
   • a dual-band or higher mobile WiFi device; official TNT devices;
   • a TNT Prepaid GSM SIM Card; and
   • airtime value loaded into subscriber’s account.
2. The Subscriber acknowledges that the SIM performance the Subscriber may experience will depend on the type of device used, network signal detected, and the current subscriber traffic. Data speed may also vary from one place to another.
3. The TNT Prepaid SIM and Data, Call and Text Cards are neither refundable nor redeemable for cash, either in part or in full.
4. The TNT Prepaid GSM SIM Card cannot be used with handsets which are:
   • SIM-locked to networks other than TNT; or
   • blacklisted by TNT due to theft, loss, non-payment or other reasons.
   Prepaid Phone Kits that are (a) sold or distributed by TNT through its distribution channels and partners or (b) those received from TNT through raffles, competitions, partnerships, promotions, and the like are subject to TNT’s device locking configuration, classified into two (2) types:
   

   Network-locked - the Prepaid Phone Kit will not be capable of using the services of other network providers. It is only limited to accessing TNT’s own services such as outgoing calls and SMS, and mobile data usage.

   Data-locked - the Prepaid Phone Kit will not be capable of using the mobile data services of other network providers. It is only limited to accessing TNT’s own mobile data services. Subscribers may still use the legacy services of other network providers such as calls and SMS.
