What is the minimum contract period for a mobile postpaid plan?

The minimum contract period can vary for postpaid mobile plans across different operators. Typically, telecom providers offer postpaid plans on a monthly rental basis.

However, to avail certain benefits like discounted device bundles or subscriptions to premium services, operators may require you to commit to a fixed initial contract period.

Some examples of minimum commitment periods are:

  • 1 month for basic postpaid connections
  • 6 months for postpaid plans with included handset
  • 1 year for plans with streaming services bundled
  • 12 months for plans offering additional perks like international roaming

So, when you opt for postpaid, evaluate your usage needs and preferred benefits. If you want additional perks, you may have to accept a minimum contract period from your operator.
