"Really helpful when I was deciding between an O2 SIM-only deal and a full contract. The advisor compared both clearly and helped me realise I'd save over £200 a year on a SIM deal with my current phone. Great knowledge."

A SIM-only deal gives you a SIM card with a data, calls, and texts allowance without a new handset — ideal if you're happy with your current phone. A full contract bundles a new device into your monthly payments. SIM-only is usually significantly cheaper per month.
