If you have a handset you love then why not keep it? No need to waste any money on a new phone as SIM only allows you to use your contract mobile phone on a SIM only basis.

Due to allaying the cost of a mobile phone in your contract costs, you will recieve far better minutes and texts and browsing allowances in your contract.

SIM only tariffs are more flexible to meet your needs - if you are a texter you can find contracts with high text allowances and if you are a caller you can find contracts with loads of minutes.

These contracts run monthly so no credit checks will be issued, so you can get going with your SIM only contract right away.

Vodafone were very successful due to being one of the best signalled network providers and one of the best for Unlimited texts - ALL featured deals have unlimited texts, even at £10pm.

T-Mobile featured highly in our SIM only comparison charts as they feature one of the best PAYG structures with Free Texts for Free Life that gives SIM users free texts for the next month when they top up just £10

Orange have entered the market recently with some very appealing SIM only deals, particularly on Dolphin, but as a network provider they still hold a middle-ground in quality of network.
