What are the benefits of SIM-only?
If you’ve paid off your phone and are still happy with your handset, you’ll save money by switching to a SIM-only deal.
The advantages of switching to a SIM-only deal include:
- You can keep your existing phone
- SIM-only plans are cheaper
- It’s flexible, with no contract tie-ins
- It’s a good way to check how a new network performs without locking into a 2-year deal
Sometimes it’s cheaper to buy your phone outright and then go for a SIM-only deal, especially if you don’t mind buying a refurbished phone.
Thinking about a new phone?
If you are looking to snap up one of the latest iPhones or Samsung phones, then choosing a Tesco Mobile Bill Pay plan is a great way to get your hands on a brand new phone with all your minutes, calls and data thrown in.
Tesco Mobile FAQs
How long will it take for my SIM to arrive from Tesco Mobile?
