Contract takes its monthly payment automatically until you tell them otherwise, PAYG requires you to specifically make the payment, surely?

But I don't count those as separate class of subscription, any more than an auto-topup Oyster is a season ticket. -- Roland Perry |

(I’ve never had a payg phone so I can’t be sure) I think there's some confusion between a phone contract with a legal contract. PAYG is not a phone contract but is a legal contract for the phone company to provide you with a service while you still have money on account. |
