The three
types of SIM Only deals-
Pay as you go (no credit check),
Pay monthly 30-day rolling plan (no credit check)
and 12, 18 or 24-month Pay monthly SIM-only contract plan (credit check).
The stand-out difference between them is the credit check need, some plans demand it while some dont
A Pay as you go SIM-only you need to top up with credit when it runs out, there are no monthly charges or a need to top-up your SIM card every month, why? Because it’s not a bundled monthly plan, you’ll only pay when you use your mobile phone.
A Pay monthly SIM-only deal includes a monthly allowance for calls, texts and data which you'll be billed for every 30 days. You get more flexibility to change plan later on.

Pay monthly SIM-only 12-month, 18-month or 24-month contract plan; here you will pay less for a committed longer deal, but less flexibility than the 30-day offers.
You will need to pass a credit check, however the credit check isn't as stringent as 12 month contracts with phones.
So if you have been turned down for a 12-month contract in the past, you can still pass the check.
None of the deals includes a free phone.

Need mobiles not to be a big part of their life's. Most Light mobile phone users use basic or simple mobiles, most have long amazing standby of up to 35 days, just need the sim to sit and wait, but yet for slight casual use.
SIM-Only is cheaper because you’re not paying for the cost of a phone each month, you only pay for the data usage, so they are much cheaper than standard pay monthly contracts for this one simple reason – by purchasing a fixed term device plan, your monthly bill is split between the cost of the handset and your airtime. For new handsets, paying for the device outright is not pricy.

Basically the longer the duration of the SIM-Only contract, the better the offer of allowances you get.
However, even though longer contracts present you with amazing offers in terms of savings, you must need it for the right reason, a SIM Only that solves and improves issues in your life is the best one.

Keeping your number is easy when you find a new SIM Only deal you like. Texting 65075 from your Mobile for a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) allows you to take your old number with you when you change service providers. You get this within a minute after texting. Once you have it give it to your new provider online and then your old number will transfer to your new SIM within two working days.
This type have a mobile phone simply because others need them to have it. Some Simple WiFi capable phones provide free internet access, saving megabyte allowances on SIM only contracts using broadband at home or work as well as free public WiFi hot spots when out n about. |
The best tariff is one that mirrors your typical mobile usage. You need a tariff where you don't go over your monthly allowances but at the same time you're not using under your allowances, this balance preemptively saves you money every-month.
Its this balance every mobile user should aim for.
Of-course, there are different SIM-only contracts for all sorts of Light mobile phone users with different communication needs, as Light mobile phone users use different amounts of Talk-time, Data and Text every month, for different users with different mobile lifestyles, which are you?

Wow only two.......
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 needed with 1month SIM only contracts. |
With Sim only contracts it alwyas important to check the out of allowance rates
Mobile-Phone and network companies want to entice new and hold-on to their customers for as long as possible, so to make you sign up to longer contracts, they offer very nice incentives so often, they offer "free" gifts which is good. Need it rather than want it? |

Biggest mistake of HOW 76% OF MOBILE SUBSCRIBERS WASTE ALMOST £250 EVERY YEARAccording to Billmonitor, formed by mathematicians in Oxford, produced the figures after analysing nearly 28,500 anonymous mobile phone bills and comparing to 8.5million contracts on offer from retailers and network providers. They found out that :- 52% of Users are on tariffs that’s too large for
them, as a result of being on the wrong tariff, users use on average just one quarter of their monthly calling
allowance. 29% Users are on tariffs that’s too small for
them, as a result of being on the wrong tariff they wasted money
on out of allowance calls, data usage, texts, as well as other costs
that could be reduced with a larger tariff like 40p/pic sent. 19%
waste money by not
optimising free benefits, text and data allowances, or taking advantage
of the lower costs that 24 month contracts provide, however they have the right level of inclusive minutes. There are a number of points to look at before choosing a contract. For instance, mobile-phone and network companies want to hold-on to their customers for as long as possible,so to make you sign up to longer contracts, they offer incentives so often. Going on an 18month or 24month contract, rather the traditional shorter 12month contract, can save you between £5 and £10 per month. However in the world of mobile phones 24 months is a long time changes happen fast, new tariffs, phones, faster connectivity speeds...you could move house. |
