    You can call it 'plan', but this doesn't stop it being a contract that it actually is.

    Your original suggestion was to simply cancel the direct debit without informing them (=giving a notice). And you can't cancel it 'immediately'. It's a 30 days' notice actually. The only you can do 'immediately' it's stop using the sim - while keeping paying for it. This is a 'commitment'.

    You're not in a contract though, it's a 30 day rolling plan, no commitments and I'm pretty sure the payment is taken up front each month.

    I presume you are posting from a point of just guessing and don't actually have any real knowledge?

    Of course a 30 day contract is a contract, if it wasn't it would be pay as you go.

    Here's an example from Tesco Mobile (there are 2 clues on the page for you to find ;)):
