Sometimes it’s better to go for a SIM card only as opposed to both SIM and phone. Not only is it cheaper, it also allows you to use a variety of handsets without limitations. Most service providers who offer SIM only deals also offer allowances of text messages, data bundles and talk time minutes. For those who already have phones, going for a SIM only deal is the best option. It will be easier to change to your network if you choose to and retain your number not to mention the cost. Below are some of the best SIM only deals worth looking into.

For an extra cost of £7, you can get another SIM that has all these features with the difference in data allowance. Instead of 8GB, you get 30GB.
