I never leave the house and my 3 contracts up
Hi, being 2020 I hardly leave home, and as a result I've realised I'm barely using my data, calls or texts. Now I'm out of contract I'm paying 20. 54 a month, on the 19th of each month to 3. I'm very happy with the phone I've got from that contract, and I think I could save money by moving to sim only. I probably only use 60 mins of calls a month, 5 texts (yes 5)and 500mb data.
I'm not sure what to do, is the best way for me to log into my 3 account and simply see what sim only deals are available, will selecting a new one replace my current £20 a month bill as long as its before the 19th of the month?
Thanks so much, Mark

For your usage there's no need to pay more than £4-6 per month:

Before signing up for one, request your PAC from Three in order to cancel and move your number. They are likely to contact you to ask what you're intending to move to, and may well offer you a similar discounted deal to retain your custom.
If not, before making your move, check coverage by ordering a free PAYG SIM online from the particular MVNO or the main network that it runs on.Evolution, not revolution1 -
If your signal is ok where you live then Smarty which is owned by Three does Unlimited Calls/Text, 2gb data for £5mth with rollover and you can use that to pay towards the £5 mth also there is NO CONTRACT you can leave whenever you like.
Go through Uswitch its very easy to do they just send you to Smarty and it gives you the £5 deal.
