Looking for a cheaper way to reduce your monthly bills? Why not buy your handset upfront, and combine with a SIM-only deal for reduced network charges each month. Buying SIM-free is also the perfect option if you’re still in contract, but just can’t wait to get your hands on the newest release.
When you purchase a SIM free phone, you only receive the handset. No network or fixed contract is attached to the phone, so you are able to decide which network you would like to use, perhaps based on who provides the best incentives or the best coverage in your area.
To receive and make calls and texts and use data you’ll then need a SIM card. You can get one as part of a SIM-only contract which can range from 1 month to 12 months or a Pay As You Go SIM.
Yes, with our handset only deals you can! All our phones are unlocked, so you don’t have to worry about being tied to a particular network. Just make sure you pick up the right type of SIM! There are currently 3 types in use - a Mini SIM (often referred to as a ‘Standard SIM’), a Micro SIM and a Nano SIM.
A lot of the newest flagship phones use the smaller Nano SIM. Many of our SIM cards are also available as Multi SIMs. A Multi SIM is a three-in-one SIM with perforations in the plastic so you can simply ‘push-out’ the size of SIM you require.
If you don’t have a SIM card or are looking to change your network provider or plan, then why not check out our SIM Only deals.
SIM free phones are perfect for reducing your monthly phone bills, enabling you to control how many texts, minutes and data you can get through without being tied down to a longer contract. They provide flexibility, and SIM-only contracts can be as short as 1 month.
With a SIM free phone, you completely own the handset. This means you can pick up the likes of the newest iPhone or Samsung release at any time, without having to wait for an upgrade or for your existing contract to end.
We also offer a range of refurbished SIM free handsets which means you can still get some of the best phones on the market for an even cheaper upfront cost.
Anybody who is happy with their existing SIM only contract or PAYG SIM but wants a new handset or doesn’t want to commit to a two year contract to get their hands on a phone. No long term commitment is required with SIM free phones, so they are also ideal for people whose mobile usage varies throughout the year, for example those who travel a lot.
The main thing to consider is the initial upfront cost of the handset itself. If you’d rather spread the cost out over a longer period then one of our great contract phone deals might be better for you.
Unlocked phones aren’t tied to a network, SIMs from any provider can be used with the phone or swapped back and forth without a problem.
SIM free phones are also sold without a SIM card, despite this a handset could still be tied to one specific network unless it is advertised as being unlocked, meaning you would have to get a SIM from a particular provider.
At Mobiles.co.uk every SIM free phone we offer is unlocked, meaning you can combine a handset and SIM only deal that suits you no matter the manufacturer or network provider.
If you’re happy with your existing SIM, want to purchase a new phone without getting into a longer term contract or require flexibility with your texts, minutes and data then a SIM free phone could be the right choice for you!
The handset you've just selected is refurbished stock, which means this deal is offered at a reduced cost.
Due to the nature of refurbished mobile phones, the original accessories can't be guaranteed. We don't include accessories such as earphones for hygiene reasons.
