When your contract ends

Updated 2026-10-11

When your minimum term ends you can usually stay on a rolling monthly deal, re-contract with your provider, or switch.

Out-of-contract prices

Many providers charge more once the contract ends. Enter it as "Price after contract ends (£)". We use it for the months after your contract runs out when we work out the cost of staying.

End-of-contract notifications

Ofcom rules mean your provider must tell you, shortly before your contract ends, when it ends, what you pay now, what you will pay afterwards, and its best deals for you. If you are already out of contract, it must remind you about its best deals at least once a year.

Tips

Ask your provider for a re-contract price and enter it as a quote. We compare it like any other.
Check whether a new deal includes a price rise. Our totals include it.
