In plain English
This is the built-in amount of service use that comes with the plan's regular price. It covers only a set amount of calling, texting, data use, or similar service, not unlimited use.
In context
Here, it labels the quantity of minutes, texts, data, or similar service use that the plan's basic price already covers up to its stated limit.
- Situation
- Reading telecom bills, usage, overage, credits, contract period, and payment status
- What it communicates
- labels the amount of minutes, texts, or data included with the service.
Meaning limits
The term alone does not say what charges or conditions apply once that covered amount has been reached.
Examples
“On his plan, the included allowance covered 500 minutes and 5 GB each month, not every call and download.”
“Before switching plans, Marta checked whether the included allowance would be enough for her usual texts and data.”
