A SIM-only plan covers calls, texts and data for a phone you already own. Terms are usually shorter and the monthly cost lower. A handset contract adds the cost of a new phone, spread over a longer term, so you pay more each month and are tied in for longer. We set out both. We do not tell you which to choose.

Yes. Ask your current network for a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) and give it to the new one. Ofcom says a number should normally be ported within one working day of the new provider receiving the code. A PAC is valid for 30 days. For two to 24 numbers, request the PAC online or by phone.

5G is the newest generation of mobile network. Ofcom describes it as much faster than earlier generations, with more capacity and quicker response.
