Cheap Sim Deals
Sim only deals basically give you the sim card that connects to the mobile phone network, but don’t give you the mobile phone to go with it. So if you’ve got an old mobile phone that could be put to use or you are looking to save money on your current contract, a sim only deal could be right for you.
How Can a Sim only deal be better value
Because you don’t get a phone. Mobile phones actually cost quite a bit of money – but to make it easy the phone networks incorporate this into the contract. Now you know why they tie you in to long contracts. You probably already worked out that after your initial contract is over they make a lot of money out of you.
How long is the contract for a sim only deal?
As opposed to a normal mobile phone contract, which is usually 12, 18 or 24 months, a sim only contract is usually just 30 days, so to leave you only need to give the network 30 days notice.
Sim Card Only Offers
The recession has hit the UK hard and sim only deals offer people the chance to save some money. Plenty of people have a spare mobile lying around they would like to connect or get a cheaper contract to use it on. Many people will be coming to the end of their fixed contract. Another benefit is that if you have bad credit, sim card only deals are easier to get, as there is no phone to pay for.
These contracts are usually 12, 18 or 24 months and are there to make sure the mobile phone networks keep your monthly rental long enough to pay for the handset. If you are out of your current contract and are still happy with your phone, you should defiantly look at the sim only deals on offer.
Sim only deals allow you to use your current phone although you may have to get the handset unlocked if it was on a different network. You will receive a new sim card from your new network and you simply place this in your mobile phone. You can usually keep your existing phone number too – just tell them when you sign up to the new deal. If you wish to do this don’t cancel your current contract – you ask for a transfer number from your current provider and this also serves as your termination.
Why Choose SIM Only?
The first and most important reason is that it is quite simply a lot cheaper month on month than any other mobile phone contract because there is no handset included and the cost of the SIM card itself is tiny and they are usually included free as part of the package. For this reason you will get a lot more value for money for your monthly payment, and monthly costs can start from as little as 10 on certain networks.
Your sim only contract will also offer better value for money when it comes to inclusive minutes and texts. At the time of writing Vodafone has a particularly good deal which includes unlimited text messages. Another huge benefit is that you aren’t tied to a long contract. Most sim only deals come with a mere 30 days contract.
