The network service providers all offer what are called the SIM only deals or the SIM only contracts. The network service providers active here – Orange, O2, 3 Mobile, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile – are able to offer the SIM only deals at far reduced prices as under the SIM only deals they are not required to hand over new mobile phone handsets to the buying customer. Here, they are only selling the SIM network connection. And not anything more. Here, it is also worth while to mention that the SIM only contracts are the most fundamental services that the network service providers offer. All said and done, the SIM ony deals are their bread and butter on which all their other activities depend.

The SIM only deals are also called the SIM only contracts as in most cases, the SIM only deals come to the customers on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis. Most customers opt for the monthly SIM only contracts as it suits them the most. Also, the users are able to figure out whether the network service being provided are up to their expected levels of standards or do they need to change to some other network service provider. In either case, the prices are very low. Without exception, the monthly SIM only contracts from all the network service providers come for around £ 10 per month only.

The buyers of SIM only deals also stand to avail of certain free calling minutes, text messages and interent data allowance as free incentives that come along with the SIM only deals that they have bought. Nowadays, there are SIM only deals that offer mobile broadband deals services too. Of course, the prices for the monthly SIM only deals that come with mobile broadband servcies also are more than regular SIM only contracts.

No wonder then that the telecom regulatory body offcourse has recommended the SIM only deals over the SIM free mobile phones and other mobile phone deals like contract mobile phones even if they seem to be the best mobile phone deals to your eyes.
