No credit check SIM Only deals

Why choose a no contract SIM deal?

A no contract SIM deal can be great for a number of reasons. First off, the lack of any sort of contract means there’s no credit check, which makes them ideal for anyone with bad credit who might be refused a typical phone contract.

And there not being a credit check can be handy even if you have good credit, if for example you’ve recently had a credit check run and don’t want too many in a short period.

Credit aside, a no contract SIM deal also means no commitments, so you’re free to change or cancel your plan whenever you want, giving you ultimate flexibility.

Which SIM card size do I need?

Whatever no contract deal you opt for you’ll be sent a SIM card that contains all three possible sizes. This is typically called a trio SIM, multi SIM, or combi SIM.

So once it arrives you can just select the appropriate size for your device by comparing it to your phone’s SIM card slot.

That said, you’ll probably want the smallest size, known as a nano SIM – that’s what the vast majority of modern smartphones use.

Which networks have the best coverage?

Every UK network has widespread 4G coverage - in fact, they all have at least 99% population coverage with 4G, so wherever you are you’re likely to have good coverage with every network.

That said, there’s no guarantee, and if you’re looking for 5G then that’s a lot more limited, so we’d always recommend checking a network’s coverage map to make sure it’s available where you need it.

Which network should I choose?

That depends on what you want from the network, but coverage and price are usually the two biggest factors – so find a good deal and a network that has coverage where you live and work.

Beyond that, consider allowances, 5G availability, what countries you can roam in for free, and any other extras that come with a plan.

However, it’s worth noting that with a no contract deal you’re not tied in, so if you’re not happy with the network you choose it’s easy to change.
