The Benefits Of Sim Only 

Save money!

POSTED BY ANNA GRAHAM

Cheap sim only subscriptions, also known as goedkoopste sim only in Dutch, are becoming more and more popular! Not surprising, by the way, because it is by no means a bad idea to opt for a sim only subscription. In this article we share a number of benefits of a sim only subscription with you!

Save money 

Probably the number one reason to choose a sim only: Save money! Nowadays there are a lot of different smartphones available that are bursting with cool functionalities.

What many people forget, however, is that these devices also have a hefty price tag. If you would like a new phone that was released a bit recently, you will soon pay a few hundred euros. When you choose to take out a mobile subscription with a device, this often means that you have to pay these few hundred euros back in your subscription, which causes extra costs, making your contract more expensive. This is not the case with a sim only, you only pay for your bundle and not for your device. As a result, sim only subscriptions are often cheaper.

No BKR registration

For some time now, there has been a new legislation in the Netherlands regarding taking out a subscription to credit.

Nowadays, when you take out a subscription with a telephone, you run the risk of a BKR registration. How exactly does this work? If you want to combine a subscription with a mobile phone, you get the option to pay off your phone in one go or to pay back your device per month. We call this a device credit. If the device credit is higher than €250, this is seen as a loan and you will receive a BKR registration in the Netherlands. Fortunately, this is not the case with a Sim only because you do not process a device payment in your subscription!

Choose your own device

Another advantage of a sim only subscription is that you are completely free to choose your device. When you look at most mobile subscriptions with a device, these are often the same mobile phones.

This will more or less force you to choose from this offer. The advantage of a cheap sim only is that you are completely free to choose your device. If you have seen a nice phone on the internet, you can purchase it and combine it with your sim only subscription. As long as a device is sim-free, you can use it in combination with your sim only! It is of course also possible to keep your old device. Do you have a device that still works fine? Good news! With most Sim only plans you can just use an old device.

Can be canceled monthly

Last but not least: There are sim only subscriptions that can be canceled monthly. The big advantage of this is that you are not tied to an expensive subscription for 1 or 2 years. Moreover, you always have the choice to purchase a telephone with a subscription. After all, you are only tied to your subscription for a month! This does not apply to all sim only subscriptions, however, if you search carefully you can find providers where these subscriptions can be canceled monthly.
