Best mobile SIM-only deals for business

Coming out of contract?

If you have come out of your current mobile contract, you may want to consider sticking with your existing handsets and choosing a SIM-only deal. 

Going SIM-only you are not tied into a contract and can upgrade, add or cancel employee contracts on a monthly basis. Your existing provider may be pushing you to sign another lengthy contract and entice you with the latest smart phones but do you really need them for all your employees?

What you need to know

When shopping around for SIM-only deals it’s a good idea to find out how much data and how many UK mobile and landline calls you make per handset per month. You can then look online to get the best deal for your company. Check your last bill for these details or ask your current supplier.
