If you haven't done one of these things, the Tariff Terms when you signed up, last upgraded or changed your tariff will still apply until you do or until we contact you to tell you otherwise.

    2. Our Pay Monthly tariffs are subject to status, a credit-check, payment by direct debit and the terms of a 30 day, 12, 18 or 24 month minimum term Pay Monthly Mobile Agreement. These Tariff Terms are part of that Pay Monthly Mobile Agreement.
    3. When you sign up for, or upgrade to, a new a minimum term contract you will then only be able to move to the next available lower priced tariff (with a lower rate monthly subscription than the tariff you've joined on) once during your minimum term. You can only do this after you are more than halfway through your minimum term. When you tell us you want to move to the next lowest tariff, unless we tell you otherwise, the new tariff will start at the start of your next billing cycle. When you move tariff, you may have to accept the Tariff Terms for that tariff at the time you move and they may be different to these ones.

    5. If available, you can only upgrade your phone on Pay Monthly at the end of your existing minimum term contract. If you want a phone upgrade you'll have to sign up to a new minimum term contract. You can find out more about upgrading your phone on our Website.

All calls for that month are aggregated and then rounded using normal rounding rules (if the last digit is a 4 or lower we'll round down, otherwise we'll round up). Where applicable, VAT (at the prevailing rate) is then added to the total of all Charges on your bill, with the VAT part of the charge being rounded down to the nearest penny.
