SIM deals, ranked by what they really cost
The price in a SIM advert is often the price for the first few months. We rank every plan by its average monthly cost across the whole contract, with intro offers, price rises and roaming limits next to the price, not in the small print.

What we foundCatches in the small print
- Intro prices. 29 plans are advertised at a price that only lasts a few months. The biggest gap is Exhibit A above. Lyca half price, in full → iD Mobile half price, in full →
- Same price, less data. 8 of giffgaff's pay-as-you-go plans give less data than its monthly rolling plan at the same price. Price by price →
- Better plan, same network. 12 plans are beaten by another plan from the same network. They carry a green tag below.
- Clubcard prices. 4 Tesco Mobile plans are cheaper with a Clubcard, which is free to join. We rank the price everyone pays and show the Clubcard price beside it. Tesco Mobile's price rises, in pounds →
- "Roaming included" varies. EU data allowances run from 2.5GB to 35GB, and VOXI charges for a roaming pass. EU roaming compared →

What the columns mean
- Plan
- The network's own name for the plan. The coloured tags under it are the catches: intro prices, bonus data that ends, Clubcard-only prices, price rises and roaming limits.
- Data
- Your monthly UK data once any bonus data has ended. "Unlimited" is subject to the network's fair-use policy.
- Contract
- Rolling: a monthly plan you can leave any month. Its price is not fixed unless the network says so. 12m / 18m / 24m: a fixed-term contract for that many months, usually cheaper per month but you are tied in, and leaving early normally costs a fee. We have not collected exit fees, so check the network's terms.
- Real cost / month
- The average of every monthly payment across the whole contract (24 months for rolling plans), including intro prices ending and stated price rises. This is the number plans are ranked by, not the advertised price.
- Price over time
- Each block is a run of months at one price. Green is an intro price, grey the normal price, red the price after a stated rise. Taller means dearer.
- Total
- Everything you would pay across the contract (24 months for rolling plans).
- £/GB
- Real cost per month divided by the monthly data. Lower is better value. Not shown for unlimited plans.
- EU roaming
- Whether you can use your allowance in the EU at no extra cost, and any data cap while you are there.

| PlanThe network's own name for the plan. The coloured tags under it are the catches: intro prices, bonus data that ends, Clubcard-only prices, price rises and roaming limits. | DataYour monthly UK data once any bonus data has ended. "Unlimited" is subject to the network's fair-use policy. | ContractRolling: a monthly plan you can leave any month. Its price is not fixed unless the network says so. 12m / 18m / 24m: a fixed-term contract for that many months, usually cheaper per month but you are tied in, and leaving early normally costs a fee. We have not collected exit fees, so check the network's terms. | Real cost / monthThe average of every monthly payment across the whole contract (24 months for rolling plans), including intro prices ending and stated price rises. This is the number plans are ranked by, not the advertised price. | Price over timeEach block is a run of months at one price. Green is an intro price, grey the normal price, red the price after a stated rise. Taller means dearer. | TotalEverything you would pay across the contract (24 months for rolling plans). | £/GBReal cost per month divided by the monthly data. Lower is better value. Not shown for unlimited plans. | EU roamingWhether you can use your allowance in the EU at no extra cost, and any data cap while you are there. | |

The small print, in large printWhat these numbers don't tell you
- Real cost / month assumes you join on 2 October 2026 and stay for the whole contract. Rolling plans are costed over 24 months at today's price; a rolling plan's price is not fixed unless the network says so, but you can leave any month.
- Stated price rises are included where the network publishes them in pounds and pence. Where a network says nothing about rises, we assume none, which may flatter it.
- Not included yet: early exit fees on contracts, speed caps, fair-use limits on "unlimited" data, tethering limits and charges for going over your allowance. We have not collected these, so we make no claims about them.
- £/GB uses the ongoing allowance, not temporary bonus data.
- Price over time bars: green months are an intro price, grey the normal price, red months after a stated rise. Bar height is that month's price.
- Coverage depends on where you live. Check your postcode on Ofcom's coverage checker.
- 1 plan(s) recorded on 2 October 2026 are left out because their offer has closed and we have not yet recorded the price that replaced it.
