WHAT IS A SIM ONLY CONTRACT?

A SIM Only contract is ideal for people who already own a mobile phone and wish to keep using it, rather than getting a new contract which includes a new phone.

The main reasons for doing this would be:

1) You will generally get a much cheaper monthly tariff if you go for SIM Only Contract. This is because the price of tariff does not have to cover the cost of the new phone you are being given.

2) You can have the convenience of continuing to use your own phone rather than having to become familiar with a new phone.

3) A SIM only deal gives you the same benefits you would expect from a regular contract; such as free monthly call, text and internet allowances.

4) You generally receive cheaper text and call rates than a pay-as-you-go mobile phone would offer.

5) Many SIM Only contracts also offer you freedom and flexibility. There is often no long term commitment as the contract is a 1 month rolling contract. This means you can cancel at a months notice without having to pay any expensive cancellation charges.

6) It is more environmentally friendly to retain your phone rather than to keep getting new ones.
