Sim only vs PAYGO

Baboon15

Hi, my phone's contract will be up in June. I use approx 150 minutes per month. Do you think a sim only or PAYGO would be the better option for saving money. I am not bothered about a new handset.
Thanks

PAYG , something like the 3 network , calls @ 3p

I would say sim only with that usage.

What network are you currently with?

grumbler

HUKD: 250 minutes 5000 texts 1Gb data 1 month Capped £5.00 a month @ id mobile

Virgin Mobile do 250m+Unltd+250MB for £5
Vectone - 150+150+500Mb for £5

Or cashback contract at zero cost with a suitable bundle and a free phone.

System

Not a good idea Mr Junkie, as there are hoops involved and it isn't guaranteed.

Hmm, it can be a good idea so long as you have a modicum of organisation.

I would pick a PAYG package simply because I prefer to avoid contracts.

But some contracts are only 30 Day contracts !


Also look at lifemobile

Would be a bad idea to have spent thousands of pounds over the last ten years actually paying for all my contracts (currently back up to 7) rather than making a profit on them. Personally, I thank all those who don't have that modicum so those of us that do can make hay!

I have changed to PAYG with 3 and after almost 3 months im still using my 1st £10 top up !
OP 150 mins would cost you under £5 with them .
