OK, you’ve got yourself a phone, or your going to buy one. That’s a great start. Perhaps you want to get yourself a reconditioned phone or maybe you’re going to get one as a Christmas gift? If you’re doing that, follow my guide from earlier this year because …
This is on the Three network, which SMARTY use, and it’s just a 30-day rolling plan, so no long contracts to worry about. You get a massive 100GB of monthly data for a mere £17 per month as part of the Black Friday craziness. Head here for the …
Black Friday isn’t until next week, but it looks like the boys from Virgin Media are already starting. The network runs (currently) on EE masts but will be switching across to Vodafone ones soon enough. They’ve got an offer on SIM only plans which looks pretty hot. Sure, …
There’s a number of offers on the Vodafone SIM-only pages right now. If you don’t plan on roaming a great deal, these “Basics” plans are the perfect fit for those of you who already have a phone or perhaps you’re planning on buying one direct. First of all, …
What words can I put alongside this news item, really? Everything you need is right there on the screen 🙂 Basically it’s unlimited everything, SIM only, with Three UK. £18 per month. The SIM is ready for 5G and you can setup a WiFi hotspot without worrying about …
Fancy a SIM-only deal? This one is from VOXI, who are basically Vodafone. Same network, same masts, and all you need to do to switch is text PAC to 65075. There’s no longer any age restrictions with this network and they offer endless social media use, which means …
This is a “virtual” network operating on Three masts. In truth, they’re a company which is owned by Three and their registered address is the same as Three. Basically, you’re going to get the same Three coverage but, with this network, you can now get yourself a bit …
OK, so you’re at home and you’ve got Virgin Media for your internet. You can browse safe in the knowledge that your devices are protected and your internet connection is safe and filtered. However, what happens when you go out? When your son or daughter uses their phone …
Looking to pay a small amount for quite a bit of data and don’t need a phone included in the offer? This offer from Three could be right up your street. It’s a 5G-ready deal delivering unlimited minutes and texts plus 8GB of data for just £9 per …
You’ll see me writing about SIM only deals quite a bit here. My journey with SIM only started a few years ago, when I reached the end of my contract. I was, like many, fairly comfortable with renewing my contract after 24 months and getting a new phone. …
Whilst sorting out this “little issue” with Three last night, I spotted this rather tasty SIM-only plan from Virgin. It delivers 6GB fo 4G data, 1500 minutes of calls and unlimited texts on a 12 month contract. A mere £9 for this. Boom! You’ll be sitting on the …
Afternoon all, and welcome to the weekend. If you’re looking to switch networks, a new virtual operator called
Last year in the UK we experienced an absolutely stunning summer. This year, however, it’s done nothing but rain. Sky Mobile customers can at least drown their sorrows this weekend (June 15th and 16th) because the network is giving away unlimited mobile data. Sky Mobile customers can stream …
Well, this seems like a very decent offer. It’s a 12-month plan on Three and you get the inclusive Three “Feel at Home” roaming too. Available via uSwitch it’s a full 8GB of data and unlimited everything else for a tenner. Not a bad deal at all, and …
Want a big, fat 200GB of data for your phone? Well, whether you’re a Virgin cable customer or not, you can now get it for £22 per month on a 12 month deal with Virgin Mobile. In addition you’ll get 5000 minutes of talk-time and unlimited texts. Normally …
OK, sitrep. Vodafone launched a virtual network called VOXI but you had to be younger than 26 to get one of their SIMs. Then, a little while later, you could get a SIM if you were under 30. They then added a stack of freebies and started selling …
Yes, an iPhone. Wait though, let me explain. 🙂 I’ve always pushed back on giving my son a phone, but this year he’s heading to high school and will be travelling further, plus all his mates now communicate via Facetime, WhatsApp or text. He’s used an Android tablet …
OK, this one involves you submitting your bills for redemption, but it can all be done online so it’s not that big of a task. You get a massive 100GB of data plus unlimited everything else with Vodafone on this SIM-only deal. It’s normally £20 per month for …
I think it’s fair to say that, if you can afford it, you’ll have a bit more confidence travelling to the USA for your holiday this year. With a Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit or No Brexit still being discussed, there’s a huge amount of confusion over whether flights …
This one actually appears to be better than the £12 for 12GB we spotted the other day. You pay a bit more for this one – £16 per month – but you get 30GB of data. In addition there’s 2500 minutes of talk-time and unlimited texts. As before, …
Sitting on the Three network, SMARTY is a new SIM-only network which offers three simple plans. They have on-line help if you get stuck, but everything is easy and straightforward – just order a SIM, whack it in your phone and pay on a per-month basis.. They have …
Right, got to be quick with this one because apparently we’re already entering into “last minute gifts”-territory and I still don’t have any presents purchased. If you fancy getting 12GB of monthly data and like EE coverage, sign up to this Virgin Mobile deal. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got Virgin …
Those lovely people at CompareMyMobile.com want me to tell you about their site and how good it is at comparing the various mobile deals out there. It is good, I’ll admit it, and it’s also a good place to go if you want to sell your current mobile. …
Now normally I’m not a big fan of these offers where you have to send your bill off and claim cashback, but you can’t really argue with the pricing on this one. It’s a Vodafone SIM-only deal – 20GB of data, unlimited everything else and it normally costs …
Was it just yesterday that Virgin Mobile offered 200GB for £20? Well today Three have beaten that. They’ve got an offer on, which ends on December 3rd, giving you a massive All You Can Eat SIM only deal exactly the same amount. So, the question is, do you …
Head to the existing customer deals page for this one. Apparently some have had success by putting a non-Three number in too, but it chucked a wobbly when we did that. It’s a SIM-only deal which lasts for 12 months, but for that you can tether, you can roam …
Operating across the 4G EE network, Virgin Mobile have some rather good SIM-only deals right now. One in particular has stuck out on our screens – a massive 100GB of monthly data plus 5,000 minutes and unlimited texts. This is down to £20 from the previous £30 per …
OK you lovely Coolsmartphone reader. How does 10GB of monthly data sound? How does using the Three network sound? How about 4G data speeds? Unlimited texts, unlimited calls? Good? How about all that for just £13 a month? That’s a deal isn’t it? iD Mobile, which sits on …
Quick one. Virgin Mobile, who use the EE masts, have put their 100GB SIM-only offer back online. It’s now down to just £20 per month, so if you’ve got a phone already and you want a stack load of data this is excellent. You get 5000 minutes and …
There’s still a sizeable majority of people out there that, by default, tend to choose one of the “big four” UK operators. Sure, there’s reasons for looking just at EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three. You’ll get added benefits like WiFi calling and, because they’re big companies and you’re …
Sitting on EE (just like BT Mobile, who we mentioned earlier), is Plusnet. They’re just given me a nudge about a new offering for SIM-only customers. The details, if I’m honest, are in the title of this story, but I just need to write something here in order …
Morning all. Good news ! That rash has cleared up! Ah no, wait. BT have got some news for us. They’ve just announced 4G mobile broadband plans for the first time. Not only that, but they’ve also got their first range of 12 month 4G SIM-only plans. BT, …
As we mentioned earlier, SMARTY, the simple SIM only network, are backed by Three. Travelling within the EU, as you would expect, is included in your normal usage. You can head to Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, where-ever. Just use your phone as you would back in the UK. Further …
Hello you lovely Coolsmartphone reader. If you’re looking to spend less than a tenner on your mobile bill but need a decent amount of data, this Plusnet deal might be just the thing. It delivers 4GB of monthly data plus 2000 minutes and 2000 texts for £9. Not …
The simple SIM only network from Three (covered earlier here) has a straightforward offering. There’s three packages – either a 2GB one for £7.50 per month, a 4GB one for £10 or an 8GB for £15. All have unlimited calls and unlimited texts. You just need to find …
Hello you beautiful Coolsmartphone reader you. Now, I know that spending £40-£60 per month for a phone and a contract seems like “situation normal” now, but what if you’ve got yourself a second-hand or reconditioned phone and you just want a low-cost monthly plan? Well, over at HotUKDeals …
The network for the under 30’s has added, for a limited time, triple data. This comes on top of their endless social data, plus endless calls, texts and picture messages plus endless roaming in Europe. There’s no contracts – you just choose how much data you need for …
Come. Come here. Get close to the screen. I need to tell you a secret. If you’re using a mobile phone right now, and you’re on a contract, listen up. I’m guessing that you’re probably paying £40, £50, maybe more per month. Right? Why are you doing that? …
If you’ve swapped your phone recently, or you’ve perhaps added an SD card and it’s in the SIM tray, you’ll no doubt have had the “hunt for the pin thing”. Sure, if you’ve got a spanky new phone you may still have the “SIM tool”. However, if the …
Fancy a big fat stack of data per month? Fancy using EE masts and getting the full 4G beans? Fancy only spending £18 per month for all that? Buy before the end of July and you’ll get 5000 minutes, unlimited texts and all that data on this SIM-only …
