You have one new message: Black Friday called, and it wants to offer you fantastic SIM only deals for your existing phone. Shall we call them back?

While we’ve seen a lot of fantastic offers on new devices, such as Black Friday Apple Watch deals, iPad Black Friday deals and AirPods Black Friday deals, not to mention all of the gaming consoles like PSVR2 Black Friday deals and Meta Quest 2 Black Friday deals, what about offers which get you something a little extra on something you already have?

That’s why we’ve searched for the best SIM only Black Friday deals from reputable mobile networks to give you a fantastic monthly price for your phone contract.

In this deals page, we have a great offer from Lebara, which will see you get a 5G SIM only contract from 99p per month for three months, as well as low prices from the likes of Three and Giffgaff.

If you’ve checked out our Black Friday broadband deals page, you might be aware that it can sometimes be tricky to switch suppliers if you’re already in a contract. However, Black Friday deals shouldn’t pass phone users by!

It’s easier to switch SIM only contracts, as it’s likely that you’ll be on a monthly rolling contract, and as it’s SIM only, you won’t be tied into paying for a phone on top of a contract.

So, let’s take a look at the best offers we’ve spotted today, so you can snap-up a great price!
