Signing up to an Open Term or Pay Monthly Plan means that you will receive a set amount of calling minutes, texts and data per month for a set price per month. Any additional usage is billed on top of the base cost and will be charged at standard rates. The account balance is paid at the end of the month and being that it is an Open Term Plan you can end your contact commitment at a months notice. Open Term plans are the best plan type for people who have moderate to heavy mobile use. If you are also in the market for a new phone, a fixed term plan which includes a phone or discount on a phone might be a better option.
