I have bought a XLP4 for the Dominican Republic in July because it said I could buy it in advance. I’m travelling tomorrow, but it seems that it has expired (where there was no information that it would expire after a certain date).
I paid the EUR 30.00 and won’t be able to use it? What can I do now?

You can buy them in advance, so it will already be active when the plane lands. But the time the bundle is valid starts once you buy it.
XL-pas: je krijgt 15 GB en betaalt € 30. Deze is 30 dagen geldig en kan je ook vooraf kopen: sms XLP4 naar 1280 (gaat direct in).
Translate:
XL pass: you get 15 GB and pay €30. This is valid for 30 days and you can also purchase it in advance: text XLP4 to 1280 (effective immediately).
Yes, but you can clearly see from this message from the chatbot that they didn’t mention that it was valid for only 30 days. That’s where I got the information from. So, basically I have to buy again
Hello @celestemartins How exciting that you're going to the Dominican Republic, I hope you have a great time over there. I completely understand that you want more clarity about your Internet-op-Reis pas and I'm happy to provide it!
It's true that you can purchase the pass in advance. However, what Eric says is correct. The pass is activated immediately, so it's a good idea to purchase it before your flight departs.
The chatbot indicates that you can send a free text message with PRIJS [Country you are traveling to] to 5545. You will then receive a text message back with the internet options, the passes, and their validity. That way, you could have known that the XL pass is valid for 30 days.
Good to know:
M pass: valid for 10 days
XL pass: valid for 30 days
In some countries, XS (1 day) and S (3 days) are also available.
Buy before you fly
The XL pass can be activated via text message before departure.
Validity starts immediately upon purchase.
Data usage only starts once the customer is abroad.
I am quite willing to see what I can do for you in terms of the costs, since you were unable to use the pass. Could you add your full name, phone number, postal code + house number, date of birth, and the last 4 numbers of the bank account number we have on file to your profile and let me know when you have done so? Then I can look into it for you right away!
