Sim Only Deals

Sim Only

Sim only describes the type of contract (or pay to go purchase) when you buy only a new sim card and not a new mobile phone. This allows you to keep your existing phone and phone number and receive a much cheaper tariff than entering in to a new mobile phone contract.

Once you sign up you will receive your new sim card in the post and can start using it straight away with your existing phone. There's a wide range of offers available which we research and check every day so you can compare sim only deals to find the cheapest Sim only contract including cash back offers and loads of cheap offers from the likes of O2, Vodafone, 3, T-Mobile, and Orange. If you've decided that a SIM card only deal is the right option for you then you compare SIM only deals quickly and easily with our comparison table.

Sometimes providers will offer a better sim only tariff if you sign up online. We work closely with all the providers to bring together the best sim only deals in one place including a number of special offers. Although we work closely with the mobile providers we are independent of them so can offer a fair comparison of the different deals to help you find the right sim card deal at the best price.

Finally think about which network your friends and family are on as it may be cheaper to choose a network that people you call most regularly are on as calls and texts to the same network are often cheaper and are even free with some deals.

The best sim only deal may be dependent on who you call our text most as some providers offer free or cheaper calls and texts to people on the same network. Check who you call the most and which networks these people are on as it may be that the best deal is with the network that is used most by the people you call most frequently such as friends and family. Once you have carried out your research you can sign up online and your new sim card should be with you in no time at all!

Sim Only Contracts

Sim only contracts work the same way as normal mobile phone contracts except you keep you existing handset. They are cheaper than entering in to a new contract with a new handset and are proving very popular with those looking to reduce their mobile phone bill. You can compare the best sim only contracts in our handy comparison table.

Since providers are regularly launching new offers we update our table of sim only contracts ever day to ensure that you can find the right contract at the best price. Take into account the number of calls and texts you receive with each contract and also consider any freebies such as free texts or calls to people on the same networks.

Finally before entering into a new sim only contract check the length of the agreement and be sure that you are happy to commit for that period of time as it can be expensive to come out of a contract early.

Quick guide to choosing the best deal at the cheapest price:

There's wide range of sim card only offers and deals available and the cheapest deal is not always the best option. As with choosing a normal mobile phone contract consider how you plan to use your phone before deciding on a deal. Look at your recent mobile phone bills to understand how many minutes you use each month and how many texts you send then consult our table of sim only offers and find the best price plan for your needs. You should also consider the length of the contract; typically the longer the contract the cheaper the monthly sim only tariffs tend to be, though you should be sure that you want to commit a lengthy contract before making the purchase as it is usually expensive to come out of the a sim only contract early (just as it is with any mobile contract).

Some sim only offers have special deals including free calls to other phones on the same network, you can check these in the 'extra info' column on our comparison tables. If most of the people you call or text on the same network it may be that the best sim only deal for your requirements may be one that allows unlimited calls to people on the same network.

Finally it is worth considering the coverage of the network in your area. Whilst the vast majority of locations in the UK receive good mobile signals from all providers there are a few black spots so it's worth remembering if you have had trouble with a previous mobile phone provider the best sim only contract for you might be with a provider you have used without any coverage issues in your area previously.

Ultimately sim only tariffs will almost always be cheaper than signing up to a contract which gives you a new phone since the money saved on the phone means your monthly tariff will be cheaper so if you are happy with you existing phone this is certainly the cheapest option.
