Pay as you go SIM only deal: get five times the data for free with Vodafone

If you need a stop-over SIM plan, just want something cheap, or if you're not a fan of getting involved in a contract, a pay as you go SIM deal could be the best option for you.

And right now, Vodafone has a promotion on that makes it the perfect option for pay as you go SIM only deals. Across all of its plans, you can currently secure five times the data normally on offer.

While this takes effect on a number of deals, the £10 option feels like the best choice to us. With the increased data cap, you're getting 15GB (up from 3), 250 minutes and unlimited texts.

With all of these offers, you still get access to Vodafone's roaming features, its VeryMe reward scheme and more. In other words, you're getting all the benefits of a Vodafone contract without having to be in one.

Finally we have Vodafone's unlimited data Pay as you go SIM. This will cost you £50 a month while supplying you with unlimited data, texts and minutes. However, it is well worth noting that this is a lot more expensive than most unlimited data SIMs, even those on 1-month rolling contracts. If you don't mind being on a contract, Three's £16 a month offer or Smarty's 1-month rolling £20 a month price could be better.
