It’s worth noting that most operators don’t allow you to simply take your SIM out of your smartphone in a tablet. They also often frown upon tethering. Pinning down the best SIM-only contract is tricky due to the huge number of combinations of minutes, texts and data available. However, most people will fall into one of three camps that we’ll focus on here: those who simply want to make the odd call or text, and use their PC to go online; those who make calls and texts, go online, check emails, use apps and perhaps watch the odd video; and those who are permanently glued to their smartphone.
Or, to put that more simply, light-, moderate- and heavy users. SIM deals for light use There are plans available for just £5 per month if you plan on using your SIM for light use. We’d recommend considering iD, which is Carphone Warehouse’s mobile network. All of iD’s contracts offer bill capping, data rollover and Roam like at Home making it an even more appealing option with no nasty surprises.

SIM deals for heavy use For anyone who wants the freedom to text and use the internet as much as they like, our favourite deal is Three’s 30GB data, unlimited texts and unlimited minutes contract, which is a very reasonable £18 per month. Three, 30GB data, unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 4G – £17 per month.

How much data you need will very much depend on the activities you intend to enjoy on your tablet, plus whether you spend any of your time within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you want a SIM just to cover you on the odd occasion that you use your tablet away from home and need to continue to access your email, you certainly don’t need to pay out extra for a 4G plan. Some of the best SIM-only deals for tablets come from Three, which offers 2GB for £7 per month, 5GB for £10 per month, 10GB for £13 per month. You can view those deals here.
ON NOVEMBER 26 "XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 5 REVIEW" Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Review If you’re looking for a sub-£200 Android phone with a decent-size screen, good battery life and usable all-round performance and features, this could be it. Very similar to the Mi Max 3, but with a smaller 5.99in display, the Redmi Note 5 is a worthy upgrade over the Note 4 with improved performance, photography and design. Since we originally wrote this review Xiaomi has entered the UK smartphone market, making it much easier to obtain its smartphones here. The Redmi Note 5 is now available from the likes of Amazon for £229. A special Cyber Monday deal knocks a further £69 off the price, with the Redmi Note 5 available for just £159.99. (See more Cyber Monday deals.
) Previously we’ve had to import review samples from China, and this Redmi Note 5 was supplied by GearBest, where current pricing is £182.39. When there’s no Cyber Monday sale on at Amazon this makes it the cheaper deal, but know that when importing from China to the UK you are liable for import duty, charged at 20 percent of the value printed on the shipping paperwork.
