The company further explained that, as going by the trend of data being used more extensively than ever, many people tend to exhaust their data packs while they are still travelling. So if one consumes over 1GB data on his trip abroad, Matrix will still enable him/her to access data on his smartphone by automatically upgrading him to additional data plan of 100 MB. This way the customer has to pay a minimal price for accessing data rather than paying prices on a per MB basis which can be enormous. So through this initiative Matrix has taken steps to ensure that the customer is saved from bill shocks when he/she is back from his trip abroad.
