£20 sim only benefits
£20 pay monthly sim only plans cater for the heavy texter as many sim only plans at this rate feature unlimited free texts and the medium user of voice calls.
The sim only offers are generally 30 day contracts and this means that you are only tied to the contract for 30 days, which gives you the flexibility to terminate the contract quickly if you need to. On the other hand, you can continue to get the sim only deal for as long as you like because the contract will continue to roll month by month until you choose to stop it. Some other sim only contracts are for 12 months or even 18 months and the benefit of these is that you typically get a better deal if you commit for a longer period – these long-term sim only deals typically include more (or unlimited) texts, more inclusive minutes and better deals on mobile data and internet browsing, and may also be cheaper than shorter contracts.
You can continue to use your existing mobile phone if you take out a sim only contract, so you don’t have the expense of having to buy a new phone or the inconvenience of having to migrate your old data and learn how to use a new phone. If your phone was on a previous network you may have to have the phone unlocked, however, this is easy to do and simply involves the input of an alpha-numeric code into your handset to unlock it.
Even at the low price of £20 per month, there is a wide range of sim only deals to compare from all of the major mobile phone networks. Deals include O2 Simplicity sim only, Orange raccoon 20 or dolphin 20 sim only, Vodafone sim only, T-Mobile Solo 20 sim only, 3 sim only and Virgin Mobile Liberty sim only.
Sim only deals offer the best value for texts and inclusive minutes of any mobile phone tariffs with the flexibility of not being tied into a 12, 18 or 24 month contract unless you choose to be.
