How do I get a cheap pay as you go deal?

The easiest way to find a deal that suits your budget is to compare networks and packages. The best deal isn’t always the cheapest option, make sure you consider value for money when comparing packages, like data allowance, minutes and EU roaming charges.

You can filter your search results by:

  • Monthly cost of the deal
  • Amount of data, texts and minutes you want
  • Contract length, ranging from 1 to 12 months
  • Network provider

Most of the big network providers require a minimum of 1 month contract. That’s why you’ll see deals from providers like LEBARA, giffgaff and SMARTY for no contract deals. Being flexible on the network you choose opens up your options but make sure to check the coverage for your area before you decide on a deal.
