Several cheap and cheerful SIM-Only deals (giving mins, txts and data) @ various suppliers
This is a regularly updated summary of the best SIM-Only deals currently available in the UK (a sub-set of the 200+ tariffs available) offering at least 100 mins, 100 texts and 100MB data (and typically a LOT more). It includes special versions for iPhones & Blackberry and some of the deals are often so cheap that they'd be great as an alternative to PAYG or for non-smartphones (i.e. ignore the data).
The best deals are shown for each of the main UK mobile operators. For each operator the NETWORK used is shown in brackets. There may be lots of operators in the UK but there are really only four networks - Vodafone, O2, Three and EE (Orange/T-Mobile) and all of the operators use one or other of these networks. IT'S ESSENTIAL TO ONLY PICK DEALS ON NETWORKS WHICH PROVIDE GOOD COVERAGE WHERE YOU NEED IT. If you are unsure of coverage for a particular network then ask someone who uses them or get a PAYG SIM and try it.
Every deal is shown in the same format. First is the name of the tariff (i.e. how it's identified by the operator); next is the current monthly cost (after any offers) and contract length (i.e. your commitment); then the number of minutes, texts & data included in this tariff; then the amount of cashback (if any) available from TCB or Quidco; last is the effective monthly cost, calculated over the contract term after all discounts/cashback. Footnotes are included for each operator to help clarify any big pros and cons.
Cashback is not the same as "redemption" cash claims. Cashback is not guaranteed, but you are very likely to get it (95%+?) and there is no effort required after placing the order (i.e. no "claims" over the contract term). Mishaps do sometimes occur with cashback but most problems occur with the initial "tracking" in the first 3 days after placing your order and when you are still in the cancellation window, which gives you a way out. However, if you really cannot afford the deal without the cashback then don't do it!
Thank you for all your comments and hot votes, and thank you to everyone who's contributed to the discussion (all 150+ pages of it!). The deal has had more than 750k hits and is currently the hottest deal on HUKD. More importantly though it seems to have helped a large number of people save money and I hope it continues to do so.

FINAL THOUGHTS
- If you are already with a network and want an additional SIM these are often available at a discount. Phone them and ask!
- For anyone reaching the end of a contract it is definitely worth trying to haggle. Good value retention deals are sometimes available and will avoid any cashback risks and porting hassles. Even if you are quite shy, a simple, friendly and polite phone call saying you are thinking of leaving and asking for more for less might generate a good Upgrade offer there and then. However, if you are getting nowhere just ask for a "PAC" and wait a couple of days. The company's Retentions Team might phone you back a day or two later and offer you something better. Once you have a PAC you are under no obligation to use it, and you have about 4 weeks to do so (to transfer your number to another operator and terminate your contract with the present one. Until (and unless) you use the PAC things will simply continue with your current network so you haven't burnt any bridges. (Good link in msg 434)
- Finally, if you cannot negotiate any good deal to stay with your operator, are paying a lot and can't find your perfect deal just yet (maybe waiting for release of a new phone?) then consider porting your number away to a 3rd-party PAYG or 30day contract (e.g. Virgin). That could save you money in the short term AND give you the best starting point to jump on any new offers when they appear.

Can it be edited by the initial poster? There ought to be a 'sticky' trread function in HKUD!
E.g. Virgin Mobile have a SIM only deal, talk+texts+data fro £7/mo
are you demented? OP updates his post every week.
also, what's this then:
VIRGIN MOBILE (Orange/T-Mobile network)
Mobile SIMO £7 - £7.00/mo 30day - 125m, 2500t, 500MB - No cashback - eff. £7.00/mo
some moron thinks there's no better fun than to hit expire button.
If you go on Google and search for it you even get auto-suggests for the "hotukdeals sim only thread" - people want to see it and find it useful, stop making it difficult for them for no good reason.
I've just done the main weekly update and this is the most significant news. Most of this is summarised in the Latest News section of the main deal but there is more information below and this post is sticky in case anyone needs to refer back to it later (unlike the main deal which has no history).
- TALKMOBILE - No obvious changes to any of the TalkMobile tariffs this week. Normal casback rates. Quidco have £8 on 1mo contracts & £10 on 6mo contracts. TCB have £25 on 12mos contracts.
- THREE - *** NOTE - NEW THREE TARIFF MAY BE IMMINENT!! (More mins/data at £6.90) see - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/three-mobile-sim-only-300min-3000-text-1gb-data-6-90-1413847 ****
Otherwise no real change. TCB rates are still slightly better than Quidco at £42.92/£48.30/£48.30. Three (again) remains as the Deal of the Week for regular Smartphones and iPhones - THREE Ess.Int.SIM200 - £6.90/mo 12mo - 200m, 5000t, 500MB - £42.92 TCB - eff. £3.32/mo - Add AYCE data for £5/mo (on a monthly basis) - eff.£8.32/mo
- ORANGE - Excellent £50 cashback offer on Dolphin £7 contract. TCB states this ends Weds, but Quidco have the same offer without an advertised end date? Normal cashback rates this week on Panther - i.e. £35 & £45.
- VODAFONE - Another week of poor cashback. The pattern currently seems to be one week with good offers from both TCB & Quidco followed by one week of poor offers. TCB levels are slightly better than Quidco - i.e. £30, £50, £60.
- T-MOBILE - No change. Still have various12mos tariffs on offer (£2.50 off) and Full Monty (unltd everything) at £21/mo (with £60 cashback!), or buy via Chitter Chatter or Mobile Place for £5.50/mo cashback.
- O2 - No change. Still have various plans/combinations on offer, including 12mos unltd mins, unltd texts, 1GB at £20/mo. Normal cashback offers this week from TCB and Quidco at £50. They still have their "On & On" high use tariffs (unltd talk/text + 1GB) on offer at £20/mo.
- TESCO - No change. Whilst not having the best deals overall, Tesco now has some keen offerings for people wanting only 30day commitments. (FWIW, TCB have confirmed that Tesco Mobile c/b does not apply to the SIMO tariffs).
- VIRGIN - Stated on their website that micro-SIMs and nano-SIMs are now readily available. With Vodafone having a poor week Virgin have stolen the DOTW for Blackberry (though it's close with T-Mobile!) - VIRGIN Mobile SIMO £7 - £7.00/mo 30day - 150m, 2500t, 500MB - No cashback - eff. £7.00/mo
- Giffgaff - No change.
- OVIVO - No change.

- HEADLINE - Not a great week for SIMO offers but at least there's some bargains at Vodafone!
- TALKMOBILE - No specials. Normal cashback rates - Quidco £8 on 1mo & £10 on 6mo contracts. TCB £25 on 12mos contracts. TM has cheapest PAYM contract in the UK (ignoring "sponsored" Ovivo) - 100m, 100t & 100MB for £5/mo + £8 Quidco (30d term). Also worth considering the £8/mo 12m offering if you are a light user who wants a lot of data - i.e. 100m, 200t, 1GB for eff. £5.91 after £25 TCB. Checkout TM resellers e2save & mobiles.co.uk for other good offers. Avoid Talkmobile if you need a nano-SIM (iP5) or Blackberry.
- THREE - No specials. No sign of any uplift in cashback on excellent Ess.Int.200 12mos tariff (inc AYCE bolt-on), which is again the mainstream DOTW for regular SmartPhones & iPhones. Also see Ess.Int.200 1mo for AYCE & shorter terms. TCB rates better than Quidco at £21.95/£48.30/£48.30. Three widely regarded as best 3G data network in UK (where reception allows!). CS not so great though. Use can be capped. Expensive for Blackberry. NO SUPPORT FOR OLDER & BASIC 2G HANDSETS !
- ORANGE - Panther 12mo contracts still on offer. No specials for Dolphin £7. Normal cashback rates £10/£35/£45. Orange is part of EE group so reception generally good. Attractive to younger users with various bonuses - Orange Weds, Magic Numbers (free calling) and Under 24 scheme (see link below). Supports all phone types, but expensive for Blackberries.
- VODAFONE - The big cashback is back - at TCB this week until Sun 10th - £60/£101/£121. Voda gets DOTW position for Blackberries and High Use (Voda RED). Vodafone coverage and CS generally good; 12m costs competitive for low, medium or high use; all phone types are supported and no extra charge for Blackberry owners. Extra 10% off if you work in certain places. Add in-store after buying on-line. Are we now back to good c/b offers alternating weekly?
- T-MOBILE - Full Monty on offer at £21/mo. Other 12mos tariffs still on offer with £2.50 off and free entry level data. Cashback normal at £25/£50. T-Mobile is part of the EE group and coverage and CS are generally good. T-Mobile data has good throughput and no extra charge if you carry on surfing (i.e. unltd). All phone types are supported and T-Mobile is good choice for Blackberries (no extra charge for BIS).
- O2 - New look website but no price changes. Still have various plans/combinations on offer. Normal cashback offers this week from TCB and Quidco at £50. Still have their "On & On" high use tariffs (unltd talk/text + 1GB) on offer at £20/mo. O2 is widely regarded to have good coverage and the best CS in the UK, but you pay a premium for that. All phone types are supported (no extra charge).
- TESCO - Normal cashback this week - i.e. 1 mos at the tariff rate. Tesco has some keen offerings for people wanting only 30day commitments. All phone types are supported. Blackberry users pay extra. iPhone users can avoid paying more either by cutting the standard size SIM down or "porting" the standard tariffs onto the smaller footprint SIMs (which you can get on PAYG or by asking for them on the phone or in Phone Shops). Coverage is generally reasonable (O2) but data rates seem to be lower than O2. Use can be capped.
- VIRGIN - No specials. Mob SIMO £12 withdrawn (was 150m & unltd data)! Tethering withdrawn!! No cashback offers this week. Virgin are worth looking at if you have slightly unusual requirements - e.g. highish mins, unlimited data, short term (all offerings 30 day), or Blackberry (no extra cost). There may be problems getting hold of nano-SIMs though (iPhone5). Student discount (15%) available and Virgin seem willing to negotiate if you want to leave them after a few months. Coverage generally good (EE) but data rates may be inferior to Orange/T-Mobile. Virgin CS perhaps bit lacking?
- Giffgaff - No change. PAYG offering using O2 network. 30 day term. Minimal cashback - £5. Coverage good. CS mixed! Free calls to other GiffGaff users. All phone types supported, though £3/mo charge for Blackberry.
- OVIVO - Arguably the cheapest SIMO deal in the UK. A PAYG offering that requires a £10 payment to start (and which lasts for a year). After that you get 100m, 100t & 400MB per month allowance for no charge (sponsored by advertising). Uses Vodafone network. Coverage generally good, but CS variable.
- VECTONE - A PAYG offering like GiffGaff. No cashback. £10 buys you 1month of 1000mins, 1000texts & 1GB of data. Uses EE network so coverage generally good. CS widely regarded poorly(!)

I did a SIMO with Voda 2 years back and the Quidco was honoured without probs. I think they are probably pretty straight with their cashback. FWIW that cashback deal is a Quidco exclusive for the next few days only.....
three also have £81.82 cashback for SIM 600:
SIM 600 12 month.
SIM Only
600 minutes
3000 texts
1GB data
12 months
From £12 a month.
I think GiffGaff is pretty awesome, but it's for a certain user profile. If you don't need the unlimited aspects then it's actually 3x as expensive as the cheapest deal! Not dissing GiffGaff, just pointing out that they don't actually have a competitive offering for a "light" user......

Can you find me something on the O2 website coz all I can find is Simplicity starting at £16 (when u add data)? I can't believe that there isn't something better than that?

upgrade varies from very good to ridiculous with three. it depends if they can offer you a good deal. the one above is new contract only. as always, quidco is not guarenteed but if its a deal you are going to choose anyway then you can potentially effectively pay about £5.18 pm.

It looks like pay as you go with O2 seems to be the way they want you to go when you compare like for like.
also, for the record, quidco is a one off payment, if you want to renew the contract the only way is to get a new sim (but then you can port your number directly to the same network.)

Have just signed up for 1 month rolling t-mobile an hour ago with cashback just until I find a good simo deal. Will check these out when month is up.

i have been checking o2 frequently and that is more or less the going rate + potential £25 quidco.
I'm looking for something - PAYG (preferred) or Monthly (not 24 month hopefully) where I can get unlimited landline calls or at least 600+ minutes... I hardly use xnet/mobile minutes and seems I can't find anything cheaper just for making landline calls.
Anyone know anything?
