Benefits of an unlimited free texts SIM only contract
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 contacts 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 an easy process and simply involves the input of an alpha-numeric code into your handset to unlock it. Often it is free to do, but sometimes there is a small fee imposed to unlock the phone, usually around £10.
Even at the lowest price points per month, there is still 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 or dolphin SIM only, Vodafone SIM only, T-Mobile Solo SIM only, 3 SIM only and Virgin Mobile Liberty SIM only. At the higher price point you can expect to see up to 800 free minutes and a combination of free texts, and/or free mobile Internet.
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.
