Keep track of your Telone capped data Usage using SelfService

If you use capped data, the suspense of waiting for your data to run out because you spent the whole day watching cat videos can a bit stressful. But that as most technical problems can be easily remedied in a few minutes.

Selfservice is your friend, Register.

In case you haven't done this, please do so. Visit Telone SelfService .


Once there click Register. Why the Register button is in the "Topup Account" panel instead of somewhere more prominent is beyond me.
Alternatively you can also click the lock icon in the top right corner, which will direct you to a login page. Once there just click the "New Telone user registration" button.

On the registration form itself there are a few rather obvious things you need to note, and annoying missteps you need to avoid.

  • Provide your full landline number, not just the last 4 digits
  • Full name means your Surname and Name (obviously)
  • Use a mobile number for a phone you have at hand
Once done, they will send a One Time Password(OTP) to the mobile number supplied above. Once you fill that code into the browser form, you are done.

Hopefully.

In my case I noticed a huuuuge delay in receiving the OTP. So be a little patient and only retry after not receiving a text for 20+ minutes.

Yay! That was so obvious. Now what?


Now you can go to Account > Account Balances and check how close you are to dropping offline. Note that these are not real time figures. The balance is updated at intervals, so you might see a higher balance than the actual figure.

One last thing, Notifications

The one last thing that's actually quite a cool feature. Go back to Dashboard and subscribe for notifications by clicking big bell icon, bottom left of screen, can't miss it really. Its BIG.
On desktop Chrome browser the notifications are quite dodgy, but on mobile Chrome it works perfectly, maybe a bit too perfectly. You will get data balance push notifications every couple of hours on your phone, without need to open the browser to check.
Quite Neat.
