SIM only plans are available from most of the major UK networks and MVNOs. A well chosen SIMO plan can bring substantial discounts on your annual smartphone costs. You can even add get low-cost extra lines for family members.
A SIM-only plan is essentially a contract just for sms messages, minutes and data. Because the plan doesn’t include a phone it is much, much cheaper. There are a wide range of SIM Only tariffs available, with the best prices usually only found online. You can find and compare the best plans here at WhatSIM.co.uk.
Standard Mobile Phone contracts include a smartphone. This free phone is usually described as “free”, but of course you pay for it in the long run. The better or more expensive the phone, the higher the monthly contract fee.
SIM-only plans are ideal if you already own a handset or have your eye on a specific phone that networks don’t usually offer.
Another major bonus is that you can choose a shorter contract period, starting at just 30 days or 1 month. You can still select 12 or 24 month deals to enjoy greater savings.
