BYO phone plans is a cell phone service sold without a new phone handset, and usually without a long term contract. The provider gives you a SIM card to put into a phone you currently own which gives you access to their network and services.
BYO Phone plans are becoming increasingly popular because of the flexibility you get from not being locked into a contract. With BYO, you are free to move to a different service provider any time you like.
These plans are also extremely affordable. Without an expensive phone to pay for, the monthly cost of a BYO service can be half as much as a traditional phone plan, or less.
Why choose a BYO Phone plan?
The major advantages of BYO plans include:
There are a few important differences to consider when looking at Prepaid and No Contract phone plans. With No Contract plans, you are sent a bill at the end of the month which includes the monthly access fee plus any charges for usage on top of your standard inclusions.
With Prepaid plans, you need to recharge your account at the beginning of the month, and then again if you use up all of the included credit. You are protected from excess usage charges as your access to specific services will stop when you reach your limits.

Why choose Prepaid?
You might be surprised to know how much money you can save on your phone bill each month. Phone plans can include numerous extra features, but you will save money by not paying for features you don’t use. Consider the following to see whether you are currently on the right plan.
Our best tip is to give the little guys a shot. There may be comfort in dealing with the major providers, but it is the smaller telcos that have the best deals. These companies share the major networks, so you don't miss out on coverage or speed, and some have local call centres offering great customer support.
Also, choose no contract plans and keep an eye out for a bargain. Phone plans change all the time and you can move your phone number to whichever provider you like. When you spot a great deal, jump on it!
