Putting old Iphone on pay as you go.

Hi,

I have Iphone 3 which I would like to put on pay as you go.

Is there anyway to do this? Can you transfer the contract number?

Thanks in advance.

    Giffgaff would be your best bet. It's pay-as-you-go with the option to buy bundles at pay-monthly rates when you need them, so you get the best of both worlds.

    Need to know if its locked first. If it is consider going with that network or having it unlocked.

    Yeah you can transfer the number. Ask for the PAC code when ending your contract.

    Not enough info. If you plan to stay with the same network no PAC is needed. Call and say you want to terminate your contract and convert to PAYG. They can do it all their end and may not even need a new SIM.

    Just remember - you need to give 30 days notice before switching, but they should warn you of this.

    Come on NFH, other than for those with affiliate links (which you don't) most people will find a number of other PAYG plans better than GiffGaff.

    For the average user, Ovivo is better with its free minutes, data and texts.

    For a much lower user, any of the cheap call plans like Asda or White Mobile are better.

    For a really high user, a 3 PAYG AYCE plan might be better.
