Compare Honest Mobile SIM Only Deals

Honest Mobile sim only deals explained

With Three backing, Honest Mobile serves up decent SIM-only deals with a heap of features you’d expect from only the biggest networks. We’re talking 5G as standard, inclusive roaming across Europe, WiFi Calling and super nationwide coverage.

What SIM-only deals can I get from Honest Mobile?

Honest Mobile offers an easy-to-follow understand range of SIM-only plans. There are three plans, with 4GB, 10GB and unlimited data.

These are available as 30 day rolling contracts or over 12 months. If you opt for the latter, you’ll pay slightly less per month.

All Honest Mobile SIM-only plans come with unlimited calls and data. And each one is subject to Honest’s loyalty programme, meaning you’ll see your bill drop by 5% for every year you’re with them, up to 30% in total.

You won’t get any fancy extras such as Amazon Prime or Spotify, but you will get excellent 5G thanks to the fact Honest Mobile piggybacks on Three, which has the UK’s fastest data plans. EU roaming is a huge plus too, as is WiFi calling.

Why choose Honest Mobile?

Honest Mobile is a good bet if you like simple SIM-only plans, as well as deals which reward loyalty. Anyone who stays a year gets a 5% discount, which rises by the same amount every year until you reach 30%.

If you love to travel, its inclusive roaming is a huge bonus, while access to Three’s first rate 5G service also sets it apart.

The fact you can lower your bill by locking in for 12 months is great, but a 30 day deal does give you maximum flexibility while negating the need for a credit check.

Is Honest Mobile a good network

There are a number of things that make Honest Mobile stand out from other SIM-only suppliers.

As well as offering a 5% annual loyalty discount, Honest Mobile says it has a, well, more honest approach than other mobile providers.

First of all, it tracks your device’s carbon footprint, something which many users don’t realise a smartphone has. It then plants trees based on the amount of data you’ve used and calls you’ve made, in a bid to offset its impact.

That’s not all. If you don’t use as much data as you’ve been paying for, Honest Mobile will suggest downgrading your plan.

Best of all, it will do that for 12 month plans as well as 30 day ones, at no extra cost. It will also inform you when you call premium or international numbers and let you know the exact cost.

In terms of customer service, it promises to connect you with a human in 30 seconds. Roaming, up to 20GB, comes as standard.

Can I keep my number if I switch to an Honest Mobile SIM-only deal?

Yes – you can easily keep your current phone number when you switch to a new network.

Choose a new SIM-only plan. Compare deals and sign up to one that you like the look of. Your SIM will be sent through the post to you. While you're waiting…
Contact your current provider and request your PAC (porting authorisation code). You can request your code in a few ways: online, or by text or phone call. If you phone, they may try to talk you into sticking with them, but stick to your guns if this happens. They'll send you the PAC as a text message within two hours.
Give the PAC to your new network. When your new SIM arrives, it will have a new number. To change it to the old one, contact your new network and give them the PAC code. They'll take care of porting the number over. It could be as fast as one working day before the old number's transferred, but be aware that it can occasionally take a little more time.

It may sound complicated, but it's very simple in practice. If you want a bit more detail, check out our full guide to keeping your phone number.
