Mobile phones and pay as you go

No. I do it all the time. Some iphones apparently lock to the network of the first sim used, but yours is at a more basic level.

Ok thanks.
The second question i was about to ask was delight mobile does not have a monthly contract, and if unhappy he could just leave anytime.
And just by replacing the delight sim with another network sim would be straight forward.
Your answer has helped.

Delight is PAYG, not pay monthly, so no tie-in. To change the network, you just change the SIM, as long as the phone is unlocked. Or ask for a PAC if you wish to port the number over.

He has about 4 quid left on a broken tesco mobile phone, lite tariff. Could he try this sim on the new samsung? would that mean his tesco number would come on to the samsung.

mobilejunkie

Yes, if the phone is unlocked. And yes.

Ok thanks again.
Might as well use it up till the delight sim arrives.

One thing you might like to know.

While the £10 "starter credit" on a Vodafone PAYG SIM goes after a month, subsequent credit lasts more or less for ever (subject to a chargeable call every few months).

Vodafone are not best value for PAYG but they are better than the initial experience would lead you to believe !

I just keep using free sims with credit on them hardly ever pay for calls or texts. I had OVivo for ages then the Sainsburys changeover deal from Ovivo when it went bust ie $15 free credit - then People's Operator - then Sainsbury's then Asda - then a new one I cannot remember but got 3 sims all with a fiver on. It does mean lots of different numbers but also free calls and texts/ I've been doing this for over 2 years now. Just need to keep looking on here and Ukhotdeals for free sims. Sometimes also get topcashback for Quidco too. I also keep a Salisbury's PAYG phone so I keep a number people know but call back on the free sim!!

Of course, you could always use a cashback contract where you can get everything not only free but also make a profit... IF you know what you're doing. No more messing around than what you're doing and a lot more efficient.
