What is Pay As You Go?
Pay As You Go (PAYG) is a type of plan where you only pay for your usage, rather than a fixed monthly fee. This helps avoid overpaying, as well as coming up short on your existing bundle.
You have total control over how much credit you put on your mobile; simply top it up as needed throughout the month. As you’re not tied into any contract, you can leave or change parts of your plan whenever you want.
Asda mobile Pay As You Go plans offer customers more affordable monthly bills, greater flexibility and the promise of no commitments.

When you’re out shopping for a new mobile phone deal, money is one of the most important considerations.
Our Pay As You Go SIMs give you the option to pay only for what you use. No more wasting hard-earned cash on surplus data month after month, or on expensive new handsets.
We also offer a wide range of bundles that are great value for money. If you’ve already got an idea of how much data, minutes and texts you’ll need, you’re sure to find the right deal for you in no time. Remember, if circumstances change, you can always swap your bundle online.
Don’t use your phone that often? Want a straightforward plan that’s easy to understand? Pay As You Go could be the answer.

Never exceed your allowance
Our Pay As You Go plans let you choose how much you spend with us each month. Because you set your own usage boundaries, you can never exceed your allowance, nor will you face any accidental charges at the end of the month.
With Asda mobile PAYG, you’re always in control of your finances; top up via your online account, top-up card or voucher, or from a UK phone on 2732.
Freedom and flexibility
Asda mobile deals are available to everyone; our plans have no age limits. Of course, the true flexibility of Pay As You Go lies in how much control you have over your own account.
Switch deals every month if you want to, upgrading or downgrading your plan so you’re only paying for what’s needed. Our unlimited data SIMs are here to satisfy whatever streaming or gaming requirements you might have.
Used up your bundle before month’s end? Our add-ons can help you out, whether it’s extra minutes you need or a few MBs more in data.
But best of all, there are no contracts tying you to anything - change your plan however you like, no matter how early or late in the month.
My Account
Change the way you manage your mobile payments and set up your very own My Account portal with Asda mobile.
Our centralised hub lets you take matters into your own hands, whether that’s changing parts of your plan or simply monitoring your daily usage. You can also purchase new bundles, add-ons and top-ups right here!
Looking to monitor and manage your spending better? Want to see how much money you’ve got remaining? Or maybe even check your transaction history? My Account lets you do all this as well, right from the comfort of your home.
Mobile app
Take control of your Pay As You Go plan with the Asda mobile app. This way, you can manage everything on the move, from topping up to checking your balance.
Available on both iOS and Android, the Asda mobile app is all you need to access your account conveniently throughout the day.
Roaming
By purchasing one of our Pay As You Go bundles, you can roam like you’re at home in 37 European destinations. And the best part? It doesn’t cost you anything extra!
If you’re on one of our standard PAYG plans, the rates are very reasonable and you won’t risk going over your allowance. Or incurring any unexpected expenses while abroad, either.
Powered by Vodafone
We’re powered by the UK’s reliable, award-winning Vodafone network, and that means 99% national coverage!
We also offer 4G as standard on all our bundles, plus superfast 5G on any bundle over £10. Just don’t forget to check your area coverage before you commit.
Keep your old number
When you join Asda mobile, you can swap phones as many times as you like, but if you’re still crazy about your current handset, keep your old number instead.
Our Pay As You Go SIMs work with any unlocked phone. Of course, if your phone is locked to any network other than Vodafone, you’ll need to obtain a PUK code before switching.
No credit checks
Affected by bad credit? Don’t worry, this won’t affect whether you can take out a Pay As You Go plan with Asda mobile.
We steer clear of credit checks while you’re searching for that perfect deal, so you can order a new SIM or purchase one of our PAYG bundles without any stress.
Is Pay As You Go right for you?
Still unsure about switching to a Pay As You Go plan? Take a look at the following questions:
- Do I want the flexibility of choosing how much I pay each month?
- Do I want the reassurance that I won’t be charged for exceeding my allowance (because I physically can’t)?
- Do I want to keep my current phone and number?
- Do I know how much data, minutes and texts I want?
If you answer ‘yes’ to the majority of them, you should seriously consider swapping.
