The no-frills mobile network Smarty is back with a fresh SIM-only deal that we'd argue is even better value than its previous offering. You can now get a Smarty SIM with 100GB of data for just £12 per month. It's definitely one to snap up if you want a cheap one-month contract with bucketloads of 5G data included.
Considering that Smarty currently offers 30GB of data for £10 a month, it's relatively little to pay to get a considerable amount of extra data each month. It's also the cheapest price available right now for this amount of data among all the low-cost networks, so it's easily one of today's best SIM-only deals. We have spotted that ID Mobile does match it, it's almost double the price at Voxi, while Giffgaff only offers 25GB of data for £2 less each month.
And it's also worth pointing out that Smarty is one of the few UK networks that still includes EU roaming at no extra cost. There is a cap of 12GB per month, but that's a more than reasonable allowance for most users who need to use their data while in Europe.
Today's best Smarty SIM-only deal
How good is this Smarty SIM-only deal?
If lots of 5G data for a low monthly cost is your priority then there's little else out there that can beat this SIM-only deal from Smarty. 100GB is a considerable amount that even the most frequent users would struggle to get through each month - even with lots of HD streaming, large downloads, online gaming, home working and social media use.
It's not a huge issue if you do discover that you need more (or actually want less for an even cheaper monthly bill) as it's just a one-month contract that you can switch up. That's definitely one of the major benefits of going with a no-frills network like Smarty, on top of useful extras such as EU roaming - a feature that's often charged at a premium these days.
Smarty also runs on the Three network, which guarantees 99.5% coverage while outdoors across the UK and a fast 5G connection on compatible smartphones. You also get WiFi-calling and unlimited tethering included at no extra cost. This is particularly useful if you're out and about in a no-signal area or are working where there's no WiFi and need to share your data with your laptop or other devices.
