If you do not have an active device offer and you newly upgraded your SIM to 4G, you will get the free 4GB bonus and be able to enjoy both 100% and 25% bonus data.
However, if you have active device offer upon upgrading your SIM, you will only get the free 4GB bonus and will not be able to enjoy the 100% and 25% bonus data.
In other hand, if you are having an active device offer and you newly activated a 4G SIM or you are already using a 4G SIM, you will not be able to enjoy the 25% bonus vice versa if you do not have an active device offer.
In essence, both new and existing 4G customers will not be able to enjoy the 100% and 25% data bonus with Kpalasa/Device offer at the same time within the offer period.

Like for example, you can get the same 4GB data for N500 instead of N1200 but this is only valid for a day.
