Hello 
Shiny new things
Deep links!
Notifications can now take you to a specific page of the app. For example, if we recommend you change plan at the end of the month, tapping on the notification will now take you to the relevant screen:
Data remaining notifications
If we think you’re about to run out of data, we’ll send you a notification:
It’ll be at-most 3 hours away, but maybe less if you’re using a lot — it’s a rolling prediction based on your last 15 minutes of usage (or the whole account if there are multiple SIMs).
We’ll only send these once per day, if at all.
We weren’t able to get percentage used notifications done in time (e.g., “You’ve used 60% of your data and we think you’ll run out in 5 days.”), but they’re on their way!
Missed call notifications
This is experimental and requires voicemail enabled:
By ‘experimental’ we mean the notification isn’t guaranteed as it requires the caller to connect to voicemail, otherwise we don’t know about it from the call records. If they hang-up while it’s ringing we won’t be able to notify you.
It’s per-SIM, and you can enable this under any SIM’s settings.
Referral notifications
Whenever you get an extra GB for someone joining, we’ll let you know:
Changes
- Anyone you referred that is part of the same account won’t count towards any referral data (this was effective from last month, but we hadn’t documented it yet).
Notification reliability
Before today, we used to send a notification, make a note that we sent it and hope for the best (for important ones we’d send an email if you had disabled push notifications).
Now, we’re recording them properly and will re-attempt delivery if they fail, finally sending an email after a few attempts in the case of what we consider “important” messages, e.g. you’ve run out of data or credit (not ones like additional referral data or welcoming you to a country).
No longer broken
Known bugs
- On some Android’s, pressing buttons can take unreasonably long — we’re fixing that with an app store update this week.
- Loading the app is sometimes too slow due to over-the-air updates; we’re going to change how these work to make loading quicker.
More soon,
- Nick
