30 day contract vs bundles

[Melly654]

Hi. I wonder if anyone knows the difference between bundles and one month contracts? I am currently on a bundle, but want 5G. I have just discovered sim only, 30 day bundles, some (all?) of which have 5G. I’m not sure what the difference would be, contractually. I can see the different allowances and stuff, but would you just carry on after the 30 days with the contract, whereas you keep topping up with the bundle? Thanks

Hi @Melly654 

The only difference is the 30 day contract is just that, a contract, which needs credit checks etc.

Bundles are PAYG. If you travel abroad beyond the EU area, some of the Rest Of The World countries do not have an agreement for PAYG customers.

5G has nothing to do with either. To get 5G you need a 5G phone, a 5G sim and be in a 5G area. So no difference between PAYG or Contract if you meet the criteria above. 

Just to add, with the 30 day contracts, they just keep rolling on if you continue paying for them monthly.

Personally, if I could afford it, I would go for a contract over PAYG any time.

Hope that helps.

There's no 5g on PAYG currently.

No risk of high bills on PAYG.

Cheaper international calls on PAYG.

More data for the same money on contract plus 5g, wifi calling, call waiting, call divert etc.

Does it mean the 30 days contract will stop automatically after 30 days with no further obligations?

No. You would need to cancel. It just means you are free to leave or change tariff if you wish
