True. Many a times in life, it is the somplest of answers that prove to be perfect when it comes to solving very complex issues. This certainly seems to be the case in the UK mobile phone market place scenerio that is prevailing at the moment. The deluge of deals, offers and still lmore offers each claiming to be the best in the business all may leave the average customers bewildered and non-plussed as to what buying decision to take. Here it is worthwhile considering opting for the seemingly simple and straightforward SIM only deals offered by the various network service providers who are operating here – Orange, O2, T-Mobile, Three Mobile, Vodafone, Virgin Media and a few others at prices that you would not think twice before willingly paying even it happens to be for the daily dose of candy for your kids! It is actually that cheap.The network service provider offers their various sim only deals that essentially sell only the network connection and nothing else for fixed periods. Say weekly, monthly and even yearly packages. A typical monthly SIM only deal comes for around £ 10 to £ 20 only. And as it normally happens these day with most deals, it is not just the SIM network connection that is provided but also along with it some incentives like free talk time, text messages, internet data allowance, etc. Sometimes if you are luckcy it is not totally uncommon to find the delightful addition of a free gift as well. Since it allows them sufficient time to evaluate and form a considered and correct decision as to whether a particular network carrier is good enough for them, most customers prefer to go in for a monthly SIM only deal only. This is precisely why some people in the industry like to refert to the SIM only deals as the SIM only contracts as well. The official telecom regulatory watchdog in the UK, Ofcom some months back had highly recommended the mobile phone users here to opt for the SIM only deals.The reasons that the senior body gave was sound. - customers would not get stuck with a particular network service provider and will retain the freedom and flexibility that comes with the SIM only deals. And they will also have the freedom now to go out and buy the new smartphone handset of their choice. What is more, they can now buy the new phone device whenver they want if they already are using one handset and are happy with its performance.
