SIM card Offers
The difference between a mobile phone contract and a sim only deal is that there’s no phone included and because of this sim only deals are obviously much cheaper.
If you already have a phone and are looking for the best sim only deal, consider which plan works best for you. i.e. how many minutes of talk time, texts and data you require.
Think about the flexibility of the deal, there are some great 30 day sim deals around which means after a month you are free to change your provider but you may find the cheapest sim only deals are if you sign up to a twelve month contract which could reduce your monthly expenses but does mean you are tied to the same provider for the duration of the contract.
The flexibility of a sim only deal means even if you change your provider, contact details, messages and photos will be stored on your phone.
Once you decide on a network you will be sent a sim which is simply inserted into your handset. When the sim is activated by your provider you will be permanently locked into that network for the duration of the contract however, the bonus if you decide to change network the phone remains your property. If you decide to upgrade your phone your sim can easily be swapped to your new handset.
