Hi. I have a very basic pay as you go mobile phone from Tesco. top up when needed with no time limit on top up usage time.
Now. I have a lap top but was thinking about getting a tablet as a backup for the internet should my laptop become faulty in some way. As well as the convenience of portability.
However I have had second thought and think instead I would be better off getting a smart mobile phone pay as you go. This would satisfy my needs and also be a backup phone for my basic one that I have at the moment.
My dilemma is I just cannot after research understand how pay as you go services work which included web browsing as well as telephone functions.
The pay as you go schemes seem to be of the type where you top up with say £10 or £20 whatever. But the top up is only valid for 30 days. So presumably if you don't use your top amount the money is lost after 30 days. This would be like monthly contract which I don't require.
My question is can smart phones have pay as go that is literally pay as and when needed without losing top up money because it has not been used within a certain time period.
The phone I am interested in is the Samsung galaxy j5 advertised as without a sim card.
I have searched on google for info and am none the wiser. can someone explain to a novice with mobiles just how the pay as you go schemes operate with web browsing devices.

is with both Delight and 3 you can top up on line at only £5 at a time however with 3 the first top up has to be £10 but £5 thereafter and also with 3 they give you 150 Mb of free data every time you top up but this does expire after 30 days but your remaining credit stays put.
