Hi, 

I am an International student, been in the UK for a year now so I do not have 3years worth of address history. I would like to get on the 1 month sim only plan. Is it possible or am I only eligible for the pay as you go plans?

Unfortunately @Saghe, pay monthly plans require 3-years of UK address history, for credit checking.

An address history isn’t needed to purchase a pay-as-you-go plan.
If you set your PAYG plan bundle to automatically renew, you’ve effectively got a pay monthly plan.

Thank you for the prompt response. 

I have noted though that under pay as you go, I do not get as much value for money as on the monthly one. For example on the monthly one I get 60GB, unlimited texts and calls for 10GBP while on PAYG it’s only 6GB, unlimited texts and calls for the same price. So PAYG definitely does not give me good value for money.

Indeed @Saghe

Maybe the SMARTY SIM only plan with 40GB monthly data + unlimited calls and texts, for £10/month is a better option for someone without 3-years UK address history.
