Traditional Pay As You Go bundles offer an allowance of calls, texts and data that you use up. When your credit is finished, you must top-up.
However, this traditional type of Pay As You Go bundle is decreasing in availability. Providers are switching to a monthly allowance instead:
You are given an allowance of calls, texts and data that expire at the end of the month. If you wish to continue, you need to pay again the following month.
There isn't much difference between this and a rolling 1-month contract bundle which you can cancel at any time.
For this reason, in our table of cheapest pay as you go SIMs below, we have included all types together.
You will need to check whether you have to pay via direct debit, or via manual top-up on the provider's website.
