SIM only mobile offers

Millions of mobile telephones are sold around the world each year and the outstanding design of the devices has become the most important selling point. One reason for this is that mobile phones are available in different types.

SIM only deals are better because

  • Ultimate flexibility, you get to use your existing phone, so you don’t have to buy a new one and sign a contract
  • You can use your SIM card in any unlocked phone that you find in stores for free
  • As a customer you don’t have to pay for the monthly contract bill for the phone (or anything else) – you don’t even have to change your mobile service provider when moving mobile network!
  • You get to test out a few phones before you decide which one to purchase.
  • You can use the SIM card for your trip to Africa or Asia.
  • You can use it with your laptop at home at no extra cost.
  • Your friends can use it too if you want them to if they also join giffgaff here you effectively have unlimited minutes with them.

You can use it from other countries too, like Spain, France, Italy and the US. You don’t have to worry about losing your SIM card. The SIM card is yours to keep.

If you are using a data plan on your phone, make sure you select a monthly limit of no more than 4 GB. If you are a very heavy data user, the data plan may not be sufficient for you. In that case, you should consider getting an unlimited data plan. If you choose to get an unlimited data plan, you’ll still need to pay the per MB charge that you are paying now, but it won’t affect the price you pay for the SIM card.

Buying a SIM only deal is usually cheaper in an airport, train station, or similar place than to buy it online, if you are in or visiting the UK order a SIM only deal online at giffgaffed.com.

SIM only tariffs enable you to receive and make calls, send texts and use data without having to pay for a bundle of minutes, texts or data. Minutes and texts are charged at the same rate as they are for a standard SIM only contract. Data is charged at the standard pay as you go rate.

Very reliable and extensive cellular data coverage at a great value. After thoroughly researching various UK mobile providers, I chose Lebara and couldn't be happier with my decision. The call centre support was outstanding; I was connected quickly and received assistance from Sonal, who was not only efficient but also polite and helpful throughout our conversation.

I have had a mobile since 1999 and have switched my number around frequently, but I recently joined Lebara. Their service operates on the Vodafone network, providing outstanding coverage, along with 4G and WiFi calling. They even offer call waiting on basic PAYG plans. While they maintain the standard age restriction of 18, they are flexible and offer unlimited options when you provide the necessary information.
