SIM only plans

A SIM only plan gives you data, minutes, and texts without a phone. This type of plan is ideal if you already have a device and just need to get connected.

Which SIM only plan is right for you?

We offer a range of SIM only plans to suit different needs, whether you want a fixed monthly contract, a flexible no-contract option, or a data-only plan for a smart device.

Pay monthly SIMs

A Pay monthly SIM is a fixed contract with an allowance of data, minutes, and texts each month, paid by Direct Debit. Available on 30-day, 12 or 24-month contracts.

Pay as you go Plus SIMs

A Pay as you go Plus SIM is contract-free so it's ideal for flexibility. No credit check is needed, and you can pause or cancel your plan through the My Vodafone app.

Data-only SIMs

A data-only SIM gives you mobile data without minutes or texts. It's ideal for keeping your tablet, laptop, or dongle connected. Available on both Pay monthly and Pay as you go Plus plans.
