How can I change my plan?

If you want to upgrade or downgrade to a different plan, you're in the right place

Written by Casey

We've made changing your plan really easy - you just need to have auto-renew enabled to make a change. 🚀

  1. Head to your Dashboard and go into Account settings > Manage plan

    A menu screen from the SMARTY app, with the Manage plan option highlighted among other items like Account settings, Privacy & security, Payment history, and Refer‑a‑friend.

  2. Click Change your plan

    A Manage plan screen showing the current 2 GB plan priced at £6, with a highlighted option to Change your plan, plus sections to pause the plan or leave SMARTY.

  3. Select the plan you'd like to switch to

  4. Confirm the plan change and hit Pay (no payment will be taken at this point)

  5. Done! Your new plan will come into effect from your next renewal date. If you've manually renewed, you can enjoy your new plan right away.

    A success pop‑up with a checkmark confirming the plan change was submitted, with an OK button below.


FAQ's

When will my plan change come into effect? 📅

If you are changing your plan during your current month, your new plan will take effect from your next renewal date.

Do I have to pay to make a plan change? 💴

No - you just have to ensure auto-renew is enabled. Before your plan change is confirmed, some banks will require you to authorise the payment in advance.

What’ll happen to any data discount or other promotions if I change plans? ✨

If you have a promotion or offer on your current plan, you will lose this promotion and it will not be carried over.

If you’re currently on a plan that is no longer available (see our Price guide for discontinued plans), you can stay on this plan for as long as you like, but you will not be able to change back to it once you change to a different plan.

If you’re on a discontinued data discount plan and want to upgrade to one of our plan types, any unused data discount will not be carried over.

💡 Note: You won't be able to move back to a data discount plan again, as these plans have now been discontinued.

I don’t see the “Change Plan” button on my dashboard 👀

You can’t change plans until you turn on auto-renew from your account settings. If you don’t wish to turn on auto-renewing payments, once your current plan expires, you’ll have the option to renew onto a different plan.

Can I change plans if my plan has expired or is on pause? 🙅‍♂️

If you didn’t have auto-renew turned on and your plan expired, you’ll still have the option to renew onto a different plan.

However, if your plan has been paused due to a payment failure, you will not be able to request a plan change until you update your payment information and renew your current plan. Once you have done so, you’ll be able to request a plan change, which will come into effect on your next renewal.
