Shoppers Go Wild For 1p SIM Card Deal With Unlimited Calls & Texts
- A new SIM-only deal offers calls, texts and data for just 1p
- The offer is available for 6 months in total with no contract
- Consumer Expert Tom Church shares tips for finding the best SIM-only deal
It always pays to shop around for a good mobile phone deal, and it’s increasingly common for people to avoid lengthy contracts so they can switch when a better offer comes around.
One SIM-only deal has sparked the attention of shoppers over at money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk, because it’s offering calls, texts, roaming and mobile data at just 1p a month for 6 months.
Deal hunter emmabeckz posted the offer from Lyca Mobile, which is offering Brits a SIM with 3GB of data per month over a 6-month period. It’s usually £4.75 a month, but the special price is just 1p - a whopping 99% off.
The network uses O2, and those who are new to Lyca Mobile can benefit from unlimited calls and texts plus 100 international minutes each month and EU roaming for the incredible price. After the six month period, users can continue at the usual £4.75 price - or opt out if they prefer.
Customers have a huge amount of flexibility - not only is there no minimum term or contract, but no credit checks are involved and both 4G and 5G are available at no extra cost. You can also keep your own number or get a new one.
Deal hunters were quick to comment on the offer. Eelwed said: ‘That’s an amazing deal, can save a lot.’ Mandie09 added: ‘An excellent price for this chip, and it piggybacks off O2 network.’
Muttley63 said: ‘What a great find. My contract is up soon, so will definitely be looking into this chip.’ Meanwhile, Hana12 said: ‘Thank you for sharing this is a huge saving! I will take a look at this deal now. Anyone used this provider before?’ Roy27 replied: ‘Yes with no problems.’ Sabrinabingham added: ‘I’m using Lyca myself as I signed up for this offer few weeks ago and I haven’t had any problems. So far, so good.’
Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: ‘This deal is excellent for those who want to make calls and texts while using data when they’re out and about. I’d have preferred unlimited data, but if you’ve got access to a WiFi network at home or work then all you have to do is keep an eye on your data usage. There’s no denying that 6p for 6 months is a fantastic bargain!
‘When comparing the best SIM only deals, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. For example, does the monthly amount of calls, texts and data meet your needs? Don’t pay for more than you need but make sure you have enough to avoid extra charges.
‘You also want to pick the best price for the allowance you want and look for any extra perks that set one contract apart from another. Plus, don’t forget about customer service. Pick a mobile provider with good reviews in this department. This way, it’ll be easier to have any problems solved and to haggle for a better deal when the time comes.’
