SIM Only deals and reviews

SIM Only

A SIM Only mobile phone contract offers a low-cost option for people who want to continue using their current mobile phone handset, and get a monthly package of minutes, texts and data. The main advantages of SIM Only contracts are their affordable monthly cost as you're subsidizing the cost of a phone with your contract, and shorter contract lengths compared to traditional Pay Monthly contracts. read more

How does it work?

If you are planning on moving from Pay Monthly or Pay as You Go to a SIM Only contract on the same network, your service provider should be able to transfer you to the SIM Only contract without you needing to replace your current SIM card. However, if you're moving to a new provider, you'll have to replace your phone's current SIM card.

The contract states how many calls and text messages you can make and send in a given month, as well as how much mobile data you have available to you, for internet access on your phone and mobile apps use. You'll typically be charged a flat fee for your SIM Only service once a month, with this fee only increasing if you go above your predefined usage quota. Keep in mind that most providers now increase the price of your monthly tariff mid-contract in line with inflation.

Typical contract lengths

SIM Only contracts typically last between 1 month and 24 months, with the shorter contract options providing flexibility and the longer ones some better tariff deals.

  • Longer contracts (18 or 24 months, for example) will give you access to better value SIM Only deals, as the service providers are more likely to give you more data, minutes, and texts for your money in exchange for a longer commitment.
  • Shorter, one month contracts are ideal for anyone who wants a minimum level of commitment. This can suit a number of circumstances: for example, if you're only staying in a certain place for a short amount of time; if you've come to the end of your current mobile phone contract and are waiting until a new phone to be released.
  • You can also use the shorter contracts to test a number of networks for one month of SIM Only usage, to get an idea of different providers' signal quality and packages.

Why should I get a SIM Only contract?

Pros

  • They're much cheaper than traditional mobile phone contracts – unlike a traditional contract in which you get a brand new mobile handset as part of the deal, and can update it later, with a SIM Only contract you don't pay a premium to cover the cost of the phone on top of the package tariff.
  • You don't have to commit to a long contract, if you prefer to be flexible. Generally, SIM Only deals tend to be shorter than handset and tariff deals.
  • If you already have a phone that you love and want to keep, SIM Only allows that.
  • You can find the best SIM Only plans to suit your actual usage needs: typically more is included in SIM Only packages than in PAYG packages of the same cost.

Cons

Compared to the benefits, there are few downsides to getting a SIM Only contract. When you're assessing SIM Only deals, do keep in mind the following:

  • They come with no phone, meaning you need to be happy to continue using your current handset, or if you want a new one you will have to buy it independently (which can be expensive).
  • You'll may need to pass a credit check (as you do for a traditional mobile contract), though the SIM Only credit check may be easier to pass because of the lower cost of SIM Only deals, making you a lower-risk candidate in the eyes of the mobile phone company.

Keep in mind that, as with traditional mobile phone contracts, getting the cheapest SIM Only deals may require taking on a longer contract, as the longer you can commit to staying with a particular mobile phone company the more they'll be willing to offer you, and at a cheaper price.

What do I need to do?

If you think a SIM Only contract is for you, the first thing you'll need to do is to compare SIM Only deals and find the best available for your needs. Check everything: from the amount of minutes, text messages, and mobile data you'll receive, to what contract lengths are available to you, and at what price.

Changing network

If the best SIM Only plan you can find comes from a different provider to the one you're currently with, you may need to have your phone unlocked. Most networks will unlock your phone for free or at a low cost. Here are the main networks' details:

  • EE, including Orange and T-Mobile, will unlock all of their phones, whether you're on a traditional contract or PAYG, for £8.99.
  • O2 will unlock your phone for free if you're on a traditional pay monthly contract (business customers can also have their phones unlocked for free, on a unit by unit basis), or if you're a PAYG customer they'll charge you just £15.00. In both instances, the process will take up to ten working days.
  • Vodafone will unlock all phones on a traditional, Pay Monthly contract so long as it's three months into the contract, for a cost of £19.99, and the unlocking process takes 7-10 days. PAYG customers must wait thirty days to have their phone unlocked, and the same price and process time apply. Note: Pay Monthly customers can have their phone unlocked for free if they've had their contract for more than a year.
  • Three has issued unlocked mobile phones since 1 January 2014. If you received your phone from Three before this date, they'll unlock it for you for free.
  • Virgin Mobile has been selling unlocked phones since July 2012. If you've had your phone since before this date they will unlock it for you for £15.32 in just a few hours. Unlike the four companies mentioned above, you'll have to contact Virgin Mobile directly as they don't have an unlocking-specific online form.
  • Tesco Mobile unlocks all customer phones for £20.00 if the phone's been activated (or the contract has run) for less than a year. After a year, Tesco Mobile will unlock all phones for free, though it takes up to 28 days. As with Virgin Mobile, you'll have to contact Tesco Mobile by phone.
  • Alternatively, you can use unlocking services on eBay and other independent vendors, which tend to be cheaper than official channels, but you will need to do your homework to make sure that they have a good reputation. Giffgaff provides a comprehensive list of phone unlocking services - Unlocks and Mobile Unlocked are the highest rated of these services and others, such as Unlockbase, provide unlock codes or cable software for a wide variety of handsets.

Porting your mobile phone number to a new network

If you want to keep your current phone number once you've moved to a SIM Only mobile phone contract, you'll have to port your number to a new network by getting in touch with your current phone company to request a PAC (Port Authorisation Code).

When you have your PAC, contact your new phone company and give them the code, making sure to do this in thirty days otherwise the code will expire. On the day that your old phone number is transferred to your new SIM you will lose your service for a short period of time while the new provider comes online. For this reason, it's a good idea to turn your phone off completely during this period while you wait for service to be resumed.

SIM card sizes

It's good to keep in mind that SIM cards come in different sizes, therefore before you sign up to a SIM Only contract, you'll want to make sure you get the right size SIM to fit your phone. There are three different sizes of SIM card:

  • Standard SIM
  • Micro SIM
  • Nano SIM

Most modern phones use the Nano SIM standard, though a handful of budget phones might use the Standard or Micro SIM form. Most SIM providers issue a 'Multi-SIM' card, which can be easily adapted to fit any SIM card slot.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
