Mobile broadband SIM only deals

A mobile broadband SIM is a data-only SIM designed for devices rather than phone calls and texts. It slots into MiFi units, 4G/5G routers, USB dongles and tablets to give you internet wherever there's a mobile signal.

Because you're only paying for data, these plans skip call minutes and texts and tend to come with larger or unlimited data allowances.

For renters, people who move often or those in areas with slow fixed-line speeds, a mobile broadband SIM in a 4G or 5G router can be a flexible alternative with no engineer visit needed.

Check the network's coverage and typical speeds at your address first, and look for an unlimited or generous data plan if it will be your main connection.
