Our top 5 best SIM only deals this weekend:

In our view, your search could start and end here. Three delivered this all time best value SIM only deal on Black Friday and somehow it's still going strong - even with the next Black Friday just around the corner...For £18 a month, you're getting unlimited calls, texts and data, making it an unbeatable offer.View Deal

iD Mobile SIM only | 30-day contract | unlimited data, minutes and texts | £18 per month
While the Three offer above is great, and will be the choice many prefer, if the contract is longer than you would prefer iD Mobile could be a better choice. With iD, you're getting unlimited data, calls and texts for the same price of £18 a month - the only difference is that iD operates on 1-month rolling contracts.

2. The really, really cheap one

iD Mobile SIM only | 30-day contract | 1GB data | 500 minutes | Unlimited texts | £5 per month
Trying to spend less on your phone bills? Then iD has got you covered. Of course, 1GB of data each month won't suit the streaming commuters and social media obsessives of this world, but those £5 a month bills are amazingly tempting if you don't use your phone that much away from Wi-Fi.

3. The one with the fastest 4G speeds

EE SIM only | 18 months | 100GB data | Unlimited calls and texts | £20 per month
For some, it's EE or nothing. The UK's fastest 4G network isn't always that affordable which is why this offer is so tempting. It provides 100GB of data while only charging £20 a month. That's plenty for a massive amount of gaming, streaming and more each month.
