# SIM Only Deals Compare

> A record of what UK mobile sellers publish about their own SIM only prices: figures quoted verbatim from each seller's own page with retrieval dates, and an honest record of the sellers whose pages refuse a plain read.

## Key facts

- Of the UK SIM sellers checked, 5 publish a price a plain HTTP reader can see, and the median published unlimited data SIM among them is £22 a month.
- Eight of the thirteen sellers checked refuse a plain read: four answer 403, one redirects into a waiting room, one serves an empty JavaScript shell and one serves navigation with no plan in it.
- The record is British and in pounds, and the lattice is the plan type rather than the place.
- Figures are not comparable across plans: each one records what it is per, because a rolling month, a 30 day bundle and a 24 month term are different commitments.
- Most UK contracts allow an in-contract rise that no headline includes; Vodafone publishes its own as a figure and most sellers publish nothing.
- Every figure is quoted verbatim from the seller's own page and carries the date it was read; the ingest re-fetches and fails rather than shipping a stale figure.

- Methodology: Prices are each seller's own published figure, fetched from that seller's public page and matched verbatim; the quote and its retrieval date are stored with every figure. The ranking figure is the published monthly price of an unlimited-data SIM, because it is the one plan every seller that publishes anything publishes, and because it is comparable in a way a data tier is not: 30 GB at one seller and 40 GB at another are different products, an unlimited plan is the same product everywhere. Every figure records what it is per, since a rolling monthly price, a 30 day price and a 24 month contract price are different commitments. A seller whose page carries no figure for a line is recorded as publishing none; a seller whose page could not be read at all is recorded separately as blocked, with what the read actually returned, because not knowing is not the same as there being nothing and in this trade the two are usually the first. A published price is not a quotation: in-contract rises, the term, and whether the figure is a from price all change what you pay.
