Recognising the growing demand for a no thrills, good value service the SIM only contract offers outstanding value for money without commitment to a long contract. Tesco Mobile  subscribers will also benefit from Clubcard points with their monthly bill.

The launch is aimed at customers who are happy to hang on to their existing handsets and are looking to reduce outgoings on their monthly mobile bill.

There has been a massive increase in the SIM only market over the past year and the Tesco Mobile tariff looks cheaper than any other deal currently available.

Recent research conducted by Tesco Mobile showed that less than 5% of mobile contract users are currently able to spend less than £10 a month on their phone.

16 to 24 year olds, who are the most prolific texters are the highest spending age group for mobile contracts with just under a third (31.6%) spending more than £30 a month on their mobile bills.

The research highlighted that cost is key when it comes to choosing a new deal; with 77.6% of mobile owners saying that the monthly cost is the deciding factor in selecting a new tariff.

Tesco Mobile is one of the fastest growing networks in the UK and according to J D Power, is the number one Pre-Pay Network for customer satisfaction.

Tesco Unlimited Talk & Text Deal

The Dancing On Ice Champion Suzanne Shaw, was the celebrity face for the launch of the new Tesco phone deal in London yesterday.

Tesco are offering a ‘credit crunch-beating Unlimited’ deal with their new unlimited talk and text package, all for a flat rate of £30 a month.

The Sim-only offer, meaning that the customer must provide their own handset, seems like a fair deal for the average user as the ‘Unlimited’ amount gives you a maximum of £500.

The spokesperson for Tesco said;

“Ours is the only pay monthly deal that gives consumers truly unlimited calling and texting.  You don’t have to choose if you’re a chatterbox or a texter, you can use your mobile as much as you want without having to worry about the cost.

“We believe that this will change the way people use their mobile phones. The new tariff aims to give people a simple, guaranteed way to have unlimited calls, texts and browsing.  It takes away the concern and uncertainty about your monthly bill as it’s fixed at £30, meaning you can talk, text and browse freely, and avoid the annoying habits revealed by our research.”

In the current economic climate, it’s not just students that are looking at Sim Only offers, but business people not wishing to tie themselves down to long term monthly outgoings.

By not being tied into a 12 month or longer contract you have the freedom to shop around for the best deals; and mobile phone Sim card deals are changing every day.

If you choose to buy a sim card only you can get some very cheap deals as you are not paying for a new mobile phone.  This is especially true for anyone coming to the end of their current contract and wish to keep the outgoings as low as possible.

With a Sim Only Contract, you still pay every month but have the assurance and peace of mind that if your financial circumstances change, you have the option to cancel your contract with short notice. This is normally a 30 day period.

There are plenty of mobile phone and best Sim Only contract comparison websites to choose from in the UK.

The www.simonlyoffers.com website is simply to use and regularly updated with offers from the main service providers in the UK.

So if you are not too concerned with the very latest mobile phone model, and you are concerned with making long term financial commitments right now, a Sim card only contract could be right for you.
