PAYG SIM-only Deals

PAYG stands for pay-as-you-go. It is a type of mobile plan that allows you to pay only for what you use.

Unlike contracts, PAYG plans do not have fixed monthly fees or long-term commitments. Instead, you buy credit in advance, which can be used for data, minutes, and sending texts.

PAYG plans are usually prepaid, meaning you do not get charged extra fees when your credit runs out.

PAYG plans are suitable for light phone users, or those who want more flexibility and control over their mobile phone expenses.

With Talk Home, your PAYG SIM card is free! We do not charge you for the SIM card or its delivery.

We only charge you for the pay-as-you-go plan and/or when you consume data, minutes, or SMS after topping up.

That is a tough one – everyone has different needs. The best rolling plan varies for all of us.

To get a rolling plan that is best for you, first estimate how much data you consume every month. Then buy a rolling plan that best matches your needs.

All our plans come with unlimited local minutes and SMS, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Yes, you do. All our SIM-only plans come with EU roaming included free of cost.

Data usage while roaming in the EU is capped and these details can be found in each plan’s terms & conditions.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as different plans may suit different users depending on their phone usage, budget, and preferences.

Prepaid plans tend to have lower monthly costs than contract plans, especially for light phone users who do not need unlimited data or minutes.

Prepaid plans also offer more flexibility and control over your phone expenses, as you can choose how much credit to buy and avoid extra fees or surprises on your bill.

Contract plans may be more convenient and reliable, as you do not have to worry about topping up your credit or running out of service.

Ultimately, the best plan for you depends on your personal needs and preferences. You may want to compare different plans to find the best value and service for your phone usage.

A pay-as-you-go SIM is a type of mobile plan that allows you to pay only for what you use, without a long-term contract or monthly fees.

There are two main types of pay-as-you-go SIMs:

1. Top-up SIMs: You buy credit in advance, which can be used for making calls, sending texts, and using data. You can top up your credit whenever you need to, and you only pay for what you use.

2. Rolling SIMs: You sign up for a one-month plan, which gives you a pre-determined allowance of data, calls and texts. After 30 days, the pay-as-you-go plan expires. You can also cancel your plan at any time.

Pay-as-you-go SIMs are suitable for people who want more flexibility and control over their phone expenses, or who only use their phone occasionally.

They are also a good option for people who have poor credit, no credit, or unlocked phones.

No. We stand against sneakily increasing prices mid-contract and have frozen our prices for the entire year of 2024.
