What Skinny Jump is doing: Skinny Jump is a highly flexible prepaid scheme with no contracts or credit checks, plus a free modem. 15GB of data is provided free each month, and costs $5 for 35GB thereafter – up to a maximum of $30 for 210GB of purchased data a month. With the 15GB monthly free data added, that's 225GB of data available to Jump customers per month. With our partner Ciena we are providing Jump at no cost to low-decile school students during 2021 and 2022.
