If you are happy with your current phone and want a flexible way to stay connected, Pay as you Go is a great option. Here is everything you need to know.

With Pay as you Go, there are no contracts, no credit checks, and no minimum terms. You can top up as much or as little as you like, whenever you need to. You can choose to pay for exactly what you use (standard rates) or buy a monthly bundle (Plan) for better value.

When you first buy a Pay as you Go SIM, you usually pick an initial plan. After 35 days from the date of purchase, this initial plan will expire. Moving forward, you have two options:

Option 1: Top Up (Standard Rates)

If you don't use your phone often, this is the most flexible option. You simply add credit to your account and pay for calls, texts, and data as you use them.

To learn how to add credit, check the guide below:

Option 2: Purchase a Plan (Monthly Bundle)

If you use your phone regularly, it is usually cheaper to buy a Plan. This gives you a set allowance of minutes, texts, and data which lasts for 30 days. There is no auto-renewal, so you just buy a new one when you need it.

If you want even better value and don't mind a credit check, you might prefer a SIM Only Deal, which offers more data for a lower monthly cost on a 1-month or 12-month contract.

Can I use my Top Up credit to purchase a plan?

Yes, as long as your credit balance covers the full cost of the plan. If you don't have enough credit, you can pay the difference using a credit or debit card.

In what order are my allowances used?​​​

We use your allowances in this order:

1. Add-on allowance (if you bought an extra data/minutes add-on).
2. Plan allowance (your monthly bundle).
3. Top Up balance (your cash credit).
