SIM Only
SIM Only deals have proven popular because they are great value, offer good allowances for calls, texts and web, and you can choose some good short-term deals if you want something which is low commitment. It’s ideal for us, because the office monkey persists in cracking open our phones and eating the SIM cards.
If you like your current handset, and you just want a new SIM preloaded with talk time, messages and data download, SIM Only is great option. Since there’s no phone to pay off, your contract works out much cheaper, even though you are still getting the generous allowances you would expect from a long-term agreement.
The length of contract is flexible; you could take something which has a minimum term of just one month, or choose something longer, which will usually give you improved monthly allowances. You’ll find that most networks do SIM Only deals, and they are also a good option if you have taken a SIM Free handset.
Recombu Mobile takes these offers and collates them for you, so it’s easy to compare SIM Only deals. Our simple search tools allow you to filter the results and find the exact kind of set-up and contract you want with your phone.
