How does Pay as you go work?
Here's what happens
- You need to buy a airtime credit in the form of a top up before you can make any calls or texts.
- This credit is used to pay for the texts and calls you make - when you run out of credit you need to top-up your phone again before you can use it. More about how to top-up.
- When you buy a Pay as you go phone you're required to purchase a minimum £10 top-up.
What are the advantages of Pay as you go?
