  • You are able to make free cross network calls and able to make free calls to mobiles on the same net work, no premium charges.
  • Changing network provider is easy, with SIM only contracts you’re not chained into long contracts in case of problems with reception and coverage.
  • Always usually there's more talk-time minutes with more texts than a mobile phone contract or pay-as-you-go package.
  • Unlike PAYG were you use some time topping up, you don’t have to do that with SIM Only-Plans.
  • As there is no phone included in the package calls, texts and other phone services cost much less.


Hard getting credit? If that's the case it may be hard getting a SIM-only contract deal that's over one month.  No credit check with 1month SIM only contracts



Disadvantages of SIM-only contracts.

Wow! only two.......

  • you provide the phone. (you most probabely have that NOW)
  • you'll need to unlock the phone if changing networks.



Make sure you order the right size of simcard, standard.....micro......nano
