cheapest option for pay as you go?

Veronica72 — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 02:50:39 GMT

My contract is coming to an end next month. I need to keep my number but will hardly be using it for the foreseeable future while overseas, so I am wondering what the cheapest option would be. I don't need data or minutes, I just need to be able to send and receive the occassional text message with the option to return to a normal contract in the future.

I remember many years ago I could just pay for the texts that I sent, without a monthly fee. I don't suppose that is still possible?

Thanks for any suggestions.

@Veronica72 That is possible you’ll need to call customer services to give notice to terminate your contract and you can request it to be changed to a PAYG. Once it’s a PAYG sim you need to send the text of STOP PACK then only your credit on your account will pay for calls and texts.

You'll need to send a chargeable text about every 5 1/2 months to keep it live.
