Mobile Broadband SIM Only

There are very few mobile broadband SIM only contracts available on the market today as the concept is still rather new. The only current network to offer a SIM only mobile broadband product is 3.

SIM only broadband contracts offer a set amount of permitted usage per month and can be purchased on a 30 day contract. This makes the option of mobile broadband very attractive because the usage allowances are a lot more generous on SIM only when compared with pay as you go (PAYG) mobile broadband and you are not tied into a lengthy contract of 12 or 24 months as you would be on a standard mobile broadband contract.

If you are new to mobile broadband or you are a student away from home with your own laptop, the SIM only mobile broadband deal could be the right one for you.
