Help with PAYG

rosiedee

Hi Folks,
Sorry if this sounds a bit thick ( I am in my mid 50's so not too good on modern day technology!!) but me and OH have always had contract mobiles but have just ordered a phone for OH from Littlewoods on a good deal to buy outright, am I right in thinking that for PAYG we have to buy a SIM card from somewhere and then top up? We don't really use our mobiles that much and have found even on a good deal that we waste a load of minutes.
Next question is any suggestions to where we would best be looking?
I know it's a big ask but any suggestions gratefully received.

Unless you purchased it sims free it will come with a payt sims card. Check you order or even the page you purchased to see if it was purchased sims free or if its with a network provider.

If you've ordered with a sims just check the networks for info on their charges

I am with Tesco I am supposed to top up £15 a month to recieve my calls for 10p a minute , however when it comes to the last days of the time limit I allways get a text from tesco telling me I am a valued customer and am allowed another couple of weeks to top up. This means i am getting 6 to 7 weeks on the 10 p per min tariff i get loads of free texts as well but never use them.

Thanks for the prompt replies folks.

If you have ended your contract, convert it to PAYG, then you can keep your number.
