Hi
iD Mobile offer cheap ‘PAYG’ Sims as per this link:-
https://www.idmobile.co.uk/sim-only-deals/pay-as-you-go
Several UK mobile providers offer a true pay-per-use (PPU) service where you top up your account with credit and are charged per minute, text, or MB of data used, without the need to buy a monthly bundle.
Key providers for this model include:
| Provider |
|---|
| | Network Used | Call Rate (per min) | Text Rate (per text) | Data Rate (per MB) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1pMobile | EE | 1p | 1p | 1p | Top up £5 every 30 days to stay connected. |
| Talk Home | EE | 1p | 1p | 1p | Top up £5 every 30 days to avoid disconnection. |
| iD Mobile | Three | 3p | 2p | 1p | Top up £10 every two months or you might be disconnected. |
| Asda Mobile | Vodafone | 15p | 10p | 10p | |
| Three | Three | 35p | 15p | 10p | No minimum top-up requirement, but needs usage every six months. |
| giffgaff | O2 | 25p | 10p | 10p | |
| Lebara Mobile | Vodafone | 25p | 19p | 9p | Strong for cheap international calls. |
Considerations for Choosing a Provider
- Coverage: Providers use the four main UK networks (EE, O2, Vodafone, Three). Check coverage in your local area using the provider's postcode checker before committing.
- Usage Habits: True PPU is best for very light or emergency use, where monthly usage is minimal. If you use your phone frequently, a monthly "bundle" or a one-month rolling SIM-only deal (which you can cancel anytime) often offers much better value.
- SIM Expiry: Most PPU SIMs require minimal use (e.g., one call/text every 6 months) or a small top-up every 30-90 days to keep the service active and avoid disconnection.
Hope this helps x
