Sim cards are Free and very popular with mobile phone customers. One of the main advantages is that they provide a fast and easy route from contracts that cost the user on a regular basis. Pay as you go sims are the least restrictive choice for customers in payment terms, as there is no expectation at all to pay out every month. We’ll examine the options available:
Vodafone Sims Free
Vodafone provide undoubtably the most straightforward pay as you talk offer available across the country, very appropriately titled Vodafone Simply.
Vodafone Simply is quite simply (excuse the pun!) a flat rate free sim card opportunity for any mobile phone customer. The basic concept is fixed rate phone calls, so it doesn’t matter whether you call in the week, weekend, day or night. This is backed with fixed price texting.
As well as that, you can earn extras, such as Vodafone Text Unlimited, simply by adding credit each month above a threshold. There are also international calls at low rates, and free weekend call possibilities when credit is used during the week.

T-Mobile Free Sims
T-Mobile, like Vodafone, offer a one-off package for all mobile usage patterns:
T-Mobile Pay As You Talk gives a tiered calls package, whereby it costs less when you have used your mobile for a couple of minutes each day. This is a fantastic option for customers requiring more call-time to cost less on a pay as you talk deal.
Messaging and voicemail are set cost per minute/message, as is picture messaging. T Mobile also offer internet options on Pay As You Talk, which is something the other companies do not so readily offer.
Orange Free Sim Cards
Orange offer 4 diverse packages to their pay as you talk offering – Dolphin, Canary, Racoon and Camel.
Dolphin is targeted at textaholics – with bonus texts available.
Canary is ideal for off peak calls (evenings and weekends).
Racoon is the option for on and off peak (all day) calls.
Camel provides cheaper international call and text pricing.
o2 Free Sims
o2, like Orange, offer several options depending on your call and text patterns:
Favourite Place gives bonus call time from a nominated location, for example your home address.
Talkalotmore is designed for off peak callers.
Text Anytime as the name suggests is ideal for texters.
o2 Unlimited at the time of press is the most popular option, with unlimited calls and texts to other o2 phones.
Your Country is the last option, perfect for phoning overseas.
It’s also worth considering sim only contracts if you are a regular phone user. Although it does still technically mean signing up for a contract, they can typically be ended after 30 days, and a month can cost as little as £10. In other words, if you top up by ten pounds or more a month this is likely to be the right option for your needs. All the major networks now offer packages of this nature, and there’s plenty of information available on the web.
