I purchase a bundle deal that can recur each month, or I can choose not to continue it, or I can purchase a totally different deal. This doesn't include the cost of the phone, but the service I use does offer monthly payments for new phones (with the data/calls/texts still pay as you go).

This sounds very similar to what I currently have- a prepaid plan.

I can choose to terminate It at any point and select another plan. The good part about mine, Is that provided I top It up prior to the end of the billing cycle each month, I don't lose the quota and It keeps building with each payment every month. For example, If It begins with10GB  of data, after 8 months It'll be at 80GB (10GB x 8 months)  and so forth.

That's interesting. I believe prepaid plans are the closest thing to our pay as you go, but I'm aware there are differences. It's nice to have flexibility to only pay 5GBP one month for a small package or 25GBP if I need the extra gigs.

Yes, It seems like the prepaid plan Is very similar to pay as you go.

The huge advantage with prepaid (my plan, not all are the same), Is that the monthly quota accumulates. At the moment, I have 70GB sitting there.

that is a pretty nice deal and I never thought about a sim only though would be pretty good for a back up phone

i just recently got my s9. but i made a mistake. as i've nearly been with them for 2 years i could of prolly got a better than by pretending to leave. my friend did that and got 1 pound off his monthly contract.

probably and a pound doesn't sound much to be fair not that its a massive gap but the most they'd probably take off is like two i guess

Sounds like you got some really cool stuff. Although, I don't think I'd ever spend 50 a month on a phone. I'd rather purchase the PS4 outright and get something different. To each their own though. I've never spent more than roughly a tenner a month on my phone, and purchased phones outright/done giffgaffs phone loan option (aka, just pay for the phone and you're not held to anything else so you can leave/choose a different phone etc).

How long do you have your contract for?

I only go with a contract because it helps me figure out my month a lot better on the basis I don't have to worry about being down x amount but my contract is 14 months I think it was.

Be careful getting a contract with 3, I worked as a debt collector agent and we held contracts for 3 and a lot of people got into large amounts of debt from their contract renewing from people thinking it just ends I'd advise you have a look at your T&C's because you need to give a 30 day written notice informing them that you opt out once your contract runs out.
