The best Three SIM-only deals this July
1. Unlimited data: £11.50 per month for first 7 months
If you want to surf with confidence, then this unlimited data plan will keep you scrolling for hours.
This is a 24 month plan on Three’s network that works out at £11.50 per month for the first 7 months, (saving you £80.50).
- Unlimited data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 24-month contract | £11.50 for 7 months (£23 after) – buy from Three
2. Unlimited data: £13.50 per month (after £30 cashback)
Unlimited data with a shorter contract length without pushing your price up – this may be the perfect SIM-only deal from third party provider Buymobiles.
This is a 12 month plan on Three’s network and works out at £16 per month before the £30 automatic cashback, bringing it down to £13.50 each month.
- Unlimited data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 12-month contract | £13.50 (after £30 cashback) – buy from Buymobiles
3. 30GB data: £7 for first 6 months
If you don’t need that much data, then this smaller 30GB plan is a great alternative.
The same 6-month half-price offer applies here too: for half a year you’ll pay just £7 a month before it goes up to the standard rate of £14.
- 30GB data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 24-month contract | £11 for 6 months (£22 after) – buy from Three
4. 12GB data: £7 per month (after £24 cashback)
This is the goldilocks of SIM-only deals, not too much or too little data for a reasonable price of £9 per month (or £7 after cashback).
For people who aren’t big data users but need more than small 1GB or 2GB options, this affordable 12 month plan might be just right.
- 12GB data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 12-month contract | £7 (after cashback) – buy from Buymobiles
5. Unlimited data: £11.50 for first 6 months
Three is offering the first six months of this 24-month plan for half the typical price.
That’s a £69 saving on a contract that sets you up with limitless data.
- Unlimited data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 24-month contract | £11.50 for 6 months (£23 after) – buy from Three
6. 30GB data: £11.92 per month (after £50 cashback)
Cashback has become a big trend in the world of mobile providers and we like this deal from Buymobiles.
For the majority of people 30GB is plenty of data and you only pay £14 per month – or £11.92 after the automatic £50 cashback.
- 30GB data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 24-month contract | £11 .92 (after cashback) – buy from Buymobiles
7. 1GB data: £9 per month
If your data needs are minimal then take this SIM-only deal into consideration.
Yes, 1GB isn’t much for most people, but if that’s enough for you we sure you’ll like that super-low monthly cost of £9.
- 2GB data | Unlimited calls and minutes | 12-month contract | £9 – buy from Three
What is the best Three SIM-only deal?
Our favourite SIM-only deal from Three right now is without a doubt the unlimited data with first six months half-price (£11) plan.
It’s perfect for data-hungry phone users who are into gaming or like streaming content on the go.
And did we mentioned the free £100 pre-paid Mastercard available to anybody who’s switching from another company?
However, don’t let that last freebie affect your decision-making too much – it’s worth doing some maths to be certain you’re moving on to a phone plan that saves you cash in the long run.
We also like the unlimited plan from Buymobiles as this gives a shorter contract for just £16 per month, although the cashback on this is much less than that directly from Three.
If you like to stick with your contracts for longer, a 12 month option might not be for you as there is no guarantee you can renew it for such a low price.
How long is a SIM-only contract with Three?
Directly from Three there are, well, three different contract durations for SIM plans.
Depending on your choice, you can either sign up to a 1-month, 12-month or 24-month package.
Keep in mind though: the shorter the contract, the more you can expect to pay.
So while a 24-month 30GB plan costs £14 a month, the equivalent month-long plan costs £24 a month.
That’s quite the increase, but is hardly a surprise: Three simply wants your business for as long as possible.
Other third party providers often do 12 or 24 month contracts – omitting the one month option.
Why choose a SIM-only deal?
SIM-only plans are a great choice if you’ve already got a phone that’s been paid for.
Without that expenditure to factor in, you can easily keep your phone outgoings relatively low each month with a SIM-only plan.
You won’t necessarily need to commit long-term: most providers offer pay-as-you go SIM plans which you can use on a rolling basis.
So if you’re waiting for the release of the next big flagship phone, a SIM-only plan is a great temporary option.
