end of sim contract

Desmond2000

Hi I have a sim only 2 year contract that ends at the end of this year. Can they auto renew this without telling me? I might forget to cancel it but is it up to me to cancel or them to remind me?

If you have set up auto renew then yes it will just renew - they should remind you especially as very often the price increases unless you opt into a new contract, but there's nothing to say you might miss a message or it might end up in your spam folder.

Your original contract should explain what happens at end of contract, mine for example stays on the same plan but without the discount I got for taking the contract, so in effect will increase by around £9 a month. It also tells me when contract can be extended, and also when it needs to be cancelled if I wish to port out. I can also see most of that when logging into my account.

It is always best to keep a diary note of contract ending dates so that 30 days before- or whatever the terms are, you can give notice if you wish.

Read your contract first.

I don't know of any companies that cancel at the end of your fixed term as that would mean the number is lost.

Most likely you will move on to a 30/31 day rolling contract at the full price for that call and data package following an email or SMS notification.

Simply put a reminder into your phone calendar right now and you won't forget to take action when the time comes.

on 22 Sept I got a text from Vodafone saying that my 2 year sim only deal ends on 6 Nov.
if I do nothing it moves to monthly rolling (at a £5 increase in price)

None of that was a surprise to me. At some point soon I’ll find another decent 2 year sim only package. I don’t worry about running a few weeks into the new contract.

I agree, you will be moved onto a rolling 30 day contract. Might I suggest looking at the lebara sim only packages using the MSE link? £2.20 per month for 9 months including a good amount of data and free roaming which is pretty good, and only a 30 day rolling contract ….
