Choosing between pay-as-you-go and bundles

The pay-as-you-go tariff suits people who make modest calls and use little data, because you pay per minute, per text and per MB as you go. Bundled SIM-only plans suit anyone who uses data every day, since a fixed monthly allowance is easier to budget around. The site advertises 30-day plans that can be changed at any time with no long-term commitment, which means you can move between a small bundle and a larger one as your needs shift.

Checking whether bundles include unlimited calls and texts

The 30-day bundles are described as including unlimited UK calls and texts, so your decision will mostly come down to how much data you need. Light users may find the 5GB plan enough, while heavy streamers might prefer the larger allowances. Extra data can be added as a Boost during the month, so you are not forced to upgrade your whole plan.

Using the service abroad

The company says its tariffs can be used in 46 European destinations without extra charges, although Boosts used while roaming are subject to a 14GB cap per Boost. The list of countries is specific, so check that your destination is included before relying on it. Fair use rules also apply, so heavy roaming users should read the terms.

Switching and trying the service

You can keep your existing number when switching, and the SIM is offered in standard, micro and nano sizes, with an eSIM option available too. Before committing, look for the 14-day money-back guarantee mentioned on the site, which gives you a short window to test the network where you live.
