Sim - pay as you go

[Wolfred19]

I ordered the free sim with an eye on GBP10 pay as you go. It seems it is a monthly deduction and I do not want that.

I would like package that I can determine when I want to top up.

Please advise best option for my situation.

@Wolfred19 : Unless you set up a recurring monthly bank card top-up you may top-up or not whenever you like. Each successive pack is only bought when your PAYG credit is sufficient.

All EE PAYG SIMs come primed with a recurring Pack of allowances ready to bought out of your PAYG credit as soon as it is sufficient. 

By texting AL to 150 it should show you the Pack you have bought with your credit & how much you have left from your allowances until its expiry date.

Text STOP PACK to 150 before you next top-up & you can use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
