A Sim Only plan is a mobile subscription that doesn't include a phone. You pay a fixed monthly amount for calls, text messages, and mobile data. The biggest advantage? You’re not paying off a new phone, which results in lower monthly costs. A Sim Only plan is ideal if you already have a working smartphone or if you prefer to pick up a new phone separately. The benefits:
Lower monthly costs
No phone included in the plan
Flexibility to use your current phone

Signing up for a Sim Only subscription is simple and consists of just a few steps:
Select the number of call minutes, texts, and data you need.
Pick a physical SIM card or go for eSIM (the digital SIM card).
Transfer your current phone number or request a new one.
Fill in your details, confirm your contract, and receive your SIM card within a few days.
Insert the SIM card into your mobile phone and start calling, texting, and browsing the internet. Requested number transfer? Start using your SIM card once your number has been switched.
Choosing the right Sim Only plan depends on your calling and internet usage. Don't need a lot of data? Go for a smaller bundle. Are you online a lot? Opt for a plan with a bigger data bundle. With Simyo, you can adjust your bundles every month, so you’ll always have the best deal.

Anyone conscious of their costs will often choose Sim Only instead of a phone contract. It’s mainly used by people who already have a good phone: one that lasts longer than the two years of a standard contract. With Sim Only you don’t have to pay off a handset, which reduces your monthly cost. Prefer changing your phone more often? Then a phone contract may be the better choice, since you can switch to a new device every two years.
No, consumer contracts cannot be longer than two years by law. A three-year plan isn’t possible. That doesn’t mean your bundle suddenly becomes more expensive after two years, your subscription simply continues with the same conditions until you make changes.
Not anymore. In recent years, the average has shifted to over three years. Phones are much better now, and if you mostly use your handset for calling and WhatsApp, you don’t need a new phone every year. With careful use, a phone can last four or five years. That’s also more sustainable. We recommend switching phones at least every 4–5 years, partly because security updates eventually end.
Yes, your contract automatically continues on a monthly basis under the same conditions after the end date. You can also switch to a Sim Only plan at Simyo and keep using your current phone. This way, you can benefit from new deals, without the cost of a new handset.
