SIM only
Understand SIM-only plans before you switch.
SIM-only plans can separate your airtime from the cost of a handset. Compare term length, data, switching requirements and phone compatibility.
What is a SIM-only plan?
A SIM-only arrangement usually provides mobile service without including a new handset. You use a compatible phone you already own or buy separately.
- Check whether your phone is unlocked and compatible.
- Compare rolling, 12-month and longer minimum terms.
- Review data, roaming, speed and fair-use conditions.
- Confirm switching steps and any final bill with your current provider.
Questions to ask before choosing
Is the allowance realistic?
Use recent usage information where possible. A low allowance can become expensive if add-on charges apply.
Does the term suit you?
A rolling plan can offer flexibility, while a longer term may have different pricing or benefits.
Will it work where needed?
Check provider coverage and Wi-Fi calling information for your normal locations and compatible device.
