SIM-Only vs Handset Contracts

SIM-Only: Lower monthly cost, flexible 1-month rolling options, no credit check on many plans. Best if you already have a phone you're happy with.

Handset Deals: Includes the phone in the monthly price, spread over 12–24 months. Higher monthly cost but you get the latest device.

Fixed vs Variable Tariffs

Fixed Rate: Price per unit locked for 12–24 months. Protects against price rises. Exit fees may apply if you leave early.

Variable: Price can change when supplier or Ofgem adjust rates. No fixed end date — switch anytime without penalty.

How to Switch Energy Supplier

  1. Have your current bill handy — need your postcode & MPAN/MPRN
  2. Select your new plan — switch takes 2–3 weeks
  3. Final meter reading sent to old supplier
  4. Direct Debit transfers over — no disruption to supply
