Pay as you go
- You pay before making your calls with a top-up card/voucher or by credit/debit card.
- No credit checks and no minimum contract.
- No monthly contract.
- You pay for what you need but call charges are generally higher than contract mobile phones.
- Some providers could allow you to pay by direct debit and some mobile phone companies offer rates that get cheaper with more use.
- Some pay-as-you-go deals have monthly line rental to pay or top-ups that only last for the duration of a month.
