Often spending extra? Finding you’ve got lots of data left at the end of the month? You could be better off switching to a different plan.
If you take out one of our 12 month contracts, you can give us a call when you receive your end of contract notification and we’ll give you a free account review to let you know if your plan is right for you.
Otherwise, be sure to keep an eye on your usage to make sure you’re getting the most for your money.
Sure you can! Just log into or by logging into My Account to choose the plan you want. Your new plan will normally start when your usage allowance refreshes for the next month.
If you’re moving from 3G to 4G, you’ll need to give us a call to make the switch. We’ll then need to send you your new SIM and activate it before your plan begins.
