30-Day Rolling SIM only deal .. How do I leave ?

WLM21

I have a 30-day rolling contract but wish to change.

I understand i can now simply send a text and will receive a PAC code in return.

Do I then contract my new supplier, pick the deal and provide them with the PAC code ?

I have to give 30 days notice to my old supplier, so I assume I end up paying twice, if I use the PAC code immediately.

If this is correct, would it be better (cheaper) to get the PAC code, which is valid for 30 days, then contact my new supplier on the last day. Of course, oif a new deal is much cheaper and there's a risk of losing it .. it would be best to join the new company early.

Get PAC as text above.

You do not need to give notice, your new supplier will do that for you once they have your PAC

If you leave it until the last day to use the PAC, you may find yourself in limbo with old service gone, and new one not set up, or even rolled over onto a new month

For a few pennies and peace of mind, just get it done with a few days spare, once you find an alternative.

Top tip, don't try this on Fridays, weekends or Bank Holidays, it all takes time, some instant and some not and not all are 24/7 working if it goes wrong

Shame you did not do that two month ago when it was 1p per month for 6 months.

I actually went for the 5GB deal .. £1.69 (6  months) then £5.90

SIM arrived yesterday .. although not activated yet

 TODAY .. new better deal already ...£0.99 (6 months) then £5.90  << typical !!

If you’re out of commitment you can use your PAC immediately and you won’t have to pay the full 30 days notice.

As long as you've not given notice then surely you are always in commitment with a rolling contract, because by definition they have no end date. If you meant in cases where the notice has already been given, could this be part way through the first month (for a one month SIM)?

Giving notice is unnecessary when using a PAC or STAC to terminate a mobile contact that has passed its minimum term. In fact, if you give notice and then obtain a PAC, doing so nullifies the notice given and if the PAC is not used the contract and service will continue to run as before.

The point I am trying to make is that a rolling contract has no minimum term unless notice is given. Perhaps you are confused by the term 'one month' which refers to the notice required, not the contract length.

Any kind of mobile contract, be it a monthly rolling contract or a longer term contract that is past its minimum term (becoming rolling monthly), or not yet (early termination fee would apply), will have its service and the contract terminated upon use of the PAC, without any notice given.

Or am I still not understanding your point..?

I thought with the likes of Lebara you don't give notice you just stop auto renewal and that's it.

Each 30 day is in effect a new contract with a predetermined end date..
