There are very few mobile broadband SIM only contracts available on the market today as the concept is still rather new. The only current network to offer a SIM only mobile broadband product is 3.
SIM only broadband contracts offer a set amount of permitted usage per month and can be purchased on a 30 day contract. This makes the option of mobile broadband very attractive because the usage allowances are a lot more generous on SIM only when compared with pay as you go (PAYG) mobile broadband and you are not tied into a lengthy contract of 12 or 24 months as you would be on a standard mobile broadband contract.
If you are new to mobile broadband or you are a student away from home with your own laptop, the SIM only mobile broadband deal could be the right one for you.
