A SIM card is a small chip that you insert into your phone. This chip ensures that your phone makes contact with a telecom provider. If you order a SIM-only subscription, you will receive a SIM card.

If a phone has a SIM lock, the phone will only work with SIM cards from one predetermined telecom provider. Prepaid phones often have a SIM lock because the phones are offered for a low price. Thanks to the SIM lock, the telecom provider has the certainty that the phone will only be used with the company's call credit so that the sponsorship of the phone can be recouped. There are companies that can remove SIM locks for you. Check first to see if this is legal and find a skilled professional.

With a normal subscription, part of the price is reserved for paying off the ‘free’ telephone that is provided, although you do not actually get the phone for free, as you are paying for it with your monthly subscription costs. As a sim only subscription does not come with a phone, these subscriptions can be up to 80% cheaper than normal subscriptions, as well as making it much easier and cheaper for you to switch between bundles if you are not happy with your current subscription or provider.

The only disadvantage of opting for a sim only subscription is that no new telephone will be provided in your offer. Instead, you can use an old SIM-lock free phone or buy a new separate (SIM-lock free) phone to utilise your new sim.

It is possible to use your current number with almost all sim only providers, even if you are currently using your number in a regular subscription (not sim only).
