What are 'Sim Only' contracts?
Sim Only 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 so 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 are the contracts?
They are not like normal contracts where you are tied into a minimum term such as 12 or 18 months, these contracts are only 30 days, which means you just need to give a months notice. This is perfect if your situation changes and you need to cancel your contract fast.

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.
Over the course of these contracts you will effectively be justifying the
price of your 'free' handset by continued monthly payment and commitment
to the same network. However, people who already have a mobile handset and
are unsatisfied with their current contract and don't want to sign up for
a new contract that offers another 'free' handset and a lengthy period of
commitment should probably check out the opportunities offered by SIM only
deals.
A SIM only deal allows you to continue to use your existing handset
and keep your existing mobile number by simply sending you the small SIM
card that is required to connect to a mobile network and that is used by
every mobile phone in the world. A SIM card is universally compatible with
any mobile handset, though you will probably need to get your handset
unlocked if it is currently linked to a particular network and your new
SIM card is manufactured and operated by a different one.
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. Each contract will also
include a set number of free anytime any network voice minutes and any
network texts each month, ranging from 100 minutes and 200 texts right up
to 1200 minutes and unlimited texts depending on the contract and network.
You'll get a lot more out of a SIM only tariff than you would one that
includes a handset. The second key benefit of SIM only deals is that there
is a minimum contract of just 30 days with every network that offers these
deals. This means that if you are not satisfied with the price plan or
service in any way that you're only committed for one month, after which
time you can leave without incurring any charges or penalties.
SIM Only Extras
The great thing about SIM only deals is that they will also often come
with all the same benefits as contracts with longer periods of commitment
and free handsets, like unlimited internet access, free video calling or
social networking access on your mobile, all included in the monthly cost
depending on which network you choose.
There are also pay as you go SIM
only deals which will give you bonuses for topping up by a certain amount
each week or month, like free calls to UK landlines or a set number of
international minutes each month. If you already have a handset and want
more bang for your buck from your mobile contract then a SIM only option
may be for you..
