you can change the package if it is not suitable there is no contract it is monthly. They also sell reconditioned sim free phones.

I can even beat that Meg.
My friend suggested get Sim only, no contract needed, so I am with ID sim at £5 per month, and have been for the last couple of years.
And the young lass in the shop transferred everything over from my old phone for me too, so I was well pleased.

BT has announced that it’s going ahead with plans that would see its existing public switched telephone network (PSTN) shut down in favour of having all phone calls be made using VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)What mobile to get for just using as a phone and text?
Not sure this is a good idea, getting a signal on mobile at home is not reliable.

Re: Buying a Mobile Phone
Why not just buy the phone so it is not locked to a provider then you can pick and choose the best scheme?There is a company here that unlocks phones on plans and sells them to you with branding still on the phone but it can be used with any network. Undoubtedly you have someone similar.
By being able to shop around you can pick the best for you The company I am with offers 1Gb data, unlimited texts and calls for $10 a month (5 pounds a month) and no plan.
Personally I think buying the phone outright is the way to go.

Skype, Zoom etc.
I do skype from home computer to friends and family, I see more & more people out on the street talking into their phones, the way to go. So what's required is "data". Plus, boy in EE shop said I could use 1GB in a few minutes when on YouTube. How can I get loads of data cheap? Unlimited calls & text sounds good but who really needs it?
