You have many choices for where to find and buy your next Pay As You Go SIM card.

Why Use Pay As You Go (PAYG)?

Pay As You Go - sometimes abbreviated to P A Y G is a pre-payment way of obtaining talk time, and credit to send text messages. Just Top-up when you can afford it, with an amount you can afford. When you make a call, or send a text, the cost of the call or text is deducted from your pre-paid credit.

Pay As You Go (PAYG) Allows You to:

• Stick to a budget;
• Pay for the usage (calls and texts) as you go;
• Not commit to a fixed term contract;
• Not receive a big bill at the end of the month.

There are many great value SIM only deals - and you are not committed to a contract.

If you see a better deal simply change to that deal. If later you find a better deal on contract you can change to that without changing SIM card subject to a notice period of typically 30 days.

With so much competition within the Mobile industry these days, all of the network providers want you to "be" with them - to be the network with the most users - they want to get you and your friends to join their network.

How do they do this ?

Many network providers have special offers subject to top-up amount - for example top-up with £10.00p and receive a free bonus of £1.00p (that is for £10.00p you get £11.00p credit) or, top-up with £20.00p and receive an extra £2.00p free and everyone likes something for free !

Some networks have an offer for free calls to other mobiles connected to the same network, although this might only apply to a set number of minutes per call, or per month. The same can sometimes apply to text messages sent to a mobile connected to the same network - this often is attached to a fair usage policy.

If you adhere to the Fair Usage policy of the network provider - it can only be good - after all if a call, or text, is free that can only be good.

If you already have a phone that you like but want to change network - simply buy a SIM only package - although this might involve having your handset unlocked - the cost of this is typically £5.00 - £10.00p although sometimes it can be done for free.

Also, with your SIM card you can choose to store information (data) as well as, or instead of, on your handset.

The advantages of this are that should your handset become damaged you can simply move your SIM card from one handset to another, and SIM cards can be copied so if you lose your phone and/or SIM card you have a spare SIM card with your important data on it.
