Convenience and affordability makes SIM only deals a hit with UK consumers

Tuesday March 02, 2010

A combination of increased markets and lower prices from SIM only mobile phone providers has seen the level of SIM card only mobile phone contracts in the UK rocket over recent months. With the financial crisis still gripping the UK many people are looking to make cutbacks with regards to their finances, and for many SIM only deals have provided the ideal solution to stay in touch with loved ones without having to pay a fortune.

One specialist comparison site, www.simonlyoffers.com, has shown just how popular these SIM only deals are becoming, having reported a massive rise in SIM only sales over the past few months. With more and more people seeing the benefits of SIM only sales levels have soared by nearly sixty percent since the start of the recession.

Director of the comparison site, Rob Webber, has cited a number of reasons for this huge take up in SIM only deals. One of the main reasons for the increase in popularity of these contracts is that people have realised that this is an effective way to save money whilst still staying connected. Another reason is that mobile phone companies have realised the potential of SIM only deals in the current climate, and have subsequently improved marketing and increased awareness of these deals.

Webber added that the benefits of SIM only were obvious, and said that with SIM only consumers were able to enjoy cheaper monthly prices, thirty day contracts as opposed to eighteen or twenty four month contracts, and a greater allowance of texts and minutes, all of which added up to far greater value for money. He also said that it was likely that the popularity of SIM only would continue to soar, as people realise just how much cheaper these deals are compared to standard contracts.
