    I am interested in what Frozen_up_North said. I thought that I had to have a SIM only 12-month contract or a pay as you go contract. Pay as you go are expensive to run. Can I ask for a 30-day rolling SIM contract? What is it called? I have been pushed in the past by providers to a 12-month contract only with or without a mobile device contract. My 12-month contract is with EE so, If I were to contact Vodaphone what can I ask for. I can feel some hostility towards this by the sales team as they want me to have a 12-month contract. 

    P.S. How much per minute do these 30-day rolling cost compared to a 12-month contract. AND what do I get on Mobile data?

     Thanks.

    They vary in name, but generic is 30 day rolling
     have look around here

    scroll down to Monthly rolling for a fiver, on Voda network, 3Gb data, unlimited minutes & texts

    Very similar are available from elsewhere, but I assume Asda brand is not an unknown name to you
