Why do you limit the number of devices supported by the Hello Konnekt plans?
Limiting the number of supported devices on our plans is a strategic decision aimed at ensuring optimal performance and quality of service for all of our Clients. Here are the reasons behind this limitation:
1. Network Capacity Management: Each device connected to our network consumes bandwidth, which affects the overall network performance. By limiting the number of devices, we can manage network capacity more effectively, ensuring that all users experience consistent speeds and reliable connectivity.
2. Quality of Service: Having a cap on the number of devices ensures that each connected device receives sufficient bandwidth to perform tasks effectively. This helps prevent network congestion and slowdowns, ensuring a better overall user experience.
While we understand that Clients may have multiple devices they wish to konnekt, our goal is to prioritise network performance and reliability for all users. We continuously evaluate and adjust our policies to strike a balance between accommodating user needs and maintaining service quality.

How can I view my bill, request an invoice or check my account balance?
To view your bill, request an invoice or check your account balance, simply access the Hello Konnekt Client Portal via our website. Within this secure area, you’re able to review your billing statements, view your current balance, and complete payments with confidence.
What payment methods do you accept?
We strive to make purchasing your Hello Konnekt service as convenient and secure as possible. Hello Konnekt offers a variety of convenient payment options to suit your needs. You can easily choose your preferred payment method during the sign-up process or modify your payment preferences anytime through the Client Portal on our website.

What happens if I pay for my plan during the month?
If a Client subscribes for their plan during the month, their plan will begin on the day they subscribed and will continue for the period stated on the plan terms. Here’s a breakdown of what happens:
1. Immediate Activation: Upon subscribing to a plan, the Client’s service will be activated immediately. They can start using the internet service right away without any delay.
2. Continuation of Service: After your plan has been activated, the plan will continue for the duration specified in the plan terms. This ensures uninterrupted service for the client, with no gaps in connectivity.
3. Billing Cycle: Subsequent billing cycles will align with the original subscription date, meaning the Client’s billing cycle will reset on the same day each month. This provides consistency and predictability in billing for the Client.
What is Hello Konnekt’s Refund Policy?
It’s important to us that our Clients understand our policies clearly, especially regarding refunds.

We encourage our Clients to carefully consider their internet needs before purchasing a plan to ensure that it fits their requirements. If you have any questions or need further clarification about our services or policies, please do not hesitate to contact our Client Service Centre via Live Chat or email. We are here to help you make the best decisions for your internet service needs.
Can I upgrade my plan after I have already purchased a plan?
At Hello Konnekt, all of our internet plans are prepaid, meaning once you purchase a plan, you will have access to it for the duration specified at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, we do not provide refunds once a plan has been purchased.
If you decide that you would like to upgrade your plan after you have already purchased another plan, here is what you will need to do:
