Instead, there are two good ways of efficiently using up your credit: either buying a Pay As You Go bundle or using the credit for purchases elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to use your Pay As You Go credit for airtime, the most efficient way to do is probably to <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/cheapest-pay-as-you-go-bundles\">buy a Pay As You Go bundle<\/a>. Most mobile networks will offer a Pay As You Go bundle, with the minimum purchase typically being either \u00a35 or \u00a310. You&#8217;ll get a 30-day allowance of minutes, texts and internet to use on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to use your Pay As You Go credit for purchases elsewhere, the UK&#8217;s four largest mobile networks allow you to do this through either <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boku.com\/\">Boku<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.payforit.org\/\">Payforit<\/a>.

Charities you can donate to include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cancerresearchuk.org\/text-to-donate\">Cancer Research<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org.uk\/Donate-Now\/Donation-enquiries\/Mobile\">Red Cross<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savethechildren.org.uk\/mobile-terms-and-conditions\">Save the Children<\/a>. You can also check with your favourite charity to see whether they can accept donations via text message.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the minimum donation by text message is around \u00a33. Before donating, you should double-check to see how much money is actually received by the charity (on good campaigns, the charity should receive 100% of your donation). You should also check to see if it&#8217;s possible to add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/donating-to-charity\/gift-aid\">Gift Aid<\/a> to your donation, as the charity could receive an additional 25%.<\/p>\n<p>On some smaller mobile networks, it may not be possible to send SMS messages to a five-digit short-code.
