Is your mobile subscription coming to an end and do you want to switch to a different provider or subscription? Then these are the things you have to take into account.
Switch from iPhone plan
There are several reasons for switching to a different subscription. Maybe your current subscription expires and you want to switch to another provider, or you switch from a subscription with a device to a sim-only subscription.
Fortunately, nowadays it is very easy to make this switch. To keep it clear, we will go through this process with you step by step.
1. Renew, new subscription, prepaid or sim only?
The most important choice you have to make for yourself is what kind of subscription you want. In all, there are four options to choose from, each of which has its own pros and cons.
- Extend: do you have a (sim-only) subscription that you are satisfied with and do you not need a new smartphone? Then you can often easily extend a subscription. You then stay with the same provider and agree on a new subscription period. This takes the least work, the provider often approaches you when your subscription is almost over. In this case nothing will change.
- New subscription: are you also ready for a new smartphone after your subscription? Then you can purchase an iPhone with a subscription. You can stay with the same provider or switch to a competitor who has a better offer.
- Prepaid: do you not need a subscription? Then you can of course also use your smartphone with prepaid. You have to manually increase your credit, but you no longer pay a monthly amount.
- Sim only: Do you not need a new smartphone or would you rather buy a separate iPhone? Then a SIM only subscription can be a handy option. As the name suggests, you only get a new SIM card with a subscription, which means that you are cheaper on a monthly basis than a subscription with a smartphone.

3. Contact the provider
As soon as you have made a choice, your provider will start working for you. That’s easy, because that mainly means that you do not have to adjust more things manually.
Please note: do not cancel your telephone number yourself, as a provider can no longer use it to make number portability possible. Always read the terms and conditions of your new subscription carefully and, where necessary, contact the provider’s customer service to help you make your switch as smooth as possible.
