What are 'Sim Only' Deals?
Sim Only Deal Contracts are mobile phone contracts just like any normal contract that you would find in your local phones4u store or o2 shop however they are sim only, which means they don't supply you with a phone. These are perfect if you already have a mobile phone and want a better deal. The contracts offer more minutes and texts often for a lower price than your normal contracts.
Why are these contracts such good value?
This is because the networks don't have to pay for the handsets meaning the savings they make can be passed onto you! This means the contracts often cost less per month and you can more minutes and more texts.
How long is a sim only contract?
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 Only Deals
The mobile phone market in the UK is as buoyant as ever despite the global economic downturn, and a majority of people who have a mobile phone will have received it free as part of a contract for which they pay each month and to which they are committed for a fixed term, usually around 18 months, but with both 12 month and 24 month contracts available.
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 get yourself a new sim only deal
Because it will definitely save you money. There is no phone cost to recover, so they line rental can cheaper. The only "hardware" that needs supplying is the actual card itself which is small.
Another benefit is that sim only deals are usually just a 30 day contract - meaning if you don't like the network or your needs change you only have to give 30 days notice to leave them. You should also expect a good amount of minutes and texts for the money you spend. It may surprise you to learn that some networks like Vodafone actually offer unlimited text messages on some of their offers.
