These are the five must-have SIM only deals from the Cyber Monday sales

Yes, Black Friday has now passed but that doesn't mean you can't still get a big saving on a SIM plan! As the Black Friday sales pass, we instantly roll straight into Cyber Monday.

And the great news is that most of the leading SIM only deals from Friday are still going strong. There are big discounts available from EE, Three, and a host of different MVNOs.

Overall, the number one spot has to go to Three. Its 100GB of data plan has crashed down to just £12 a month - a price unmatched by any other network. Or alternatively for a few quid extra, Smarty's unlimited plan now comes in at one of the cheapest prices ever of £15 a month.

There are also incredibly affordable prices from Lebara at £2.50 a month, as well as some big data options from both EE and O2. We've listed all of these Cyber Monday SIM plans below.

The best Cyber Monday SIM only deals

Three SIM | 12 months | 100GB data | Unlimited calls and texts | £12 a month
Once again, Three has dominated both Black Friday and Cyber Monday with the best overall SIM plan. With this deal, you'll only pay £12 a month while getting 100GB of data each month. For that price, you will not be able to get more data than that plus, this is a 5G-enabled SIM too.

Lebara SIM | 1 month rolling | 2GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £2.50 a month for six months
Lebara is absolutely dominating Cyber Monday when it comes to cheap SIM plans. With this deal, it takes the spot of cheapest price, costing just £2.50 a month for the first six. After that, your prices will only go up to £5. For that price you get 2GB of data and, Lebara's rolling contracts allow you to leave at any time.

Smarty SIM | 1 month rolling | unlimited data, calls and texts | £16 a month
If you're in the market for an unlimited data SIM plan this Cyber Monday, Smarty will be the way to go. It is the cheapest unlimited offer on the market and one of the lowest prices ever at £15 a month. The only cheaper option than that comes from Lebara's £12.50 price...but that will only last for six months before doubling in price.

EE | 24 months | 160GB data | unlimited calls & texts | 5G ready | £20 a month
EE is going to be an obvious choice this Cyber Monday - it is the UK's fastest and most popular network after all! If you're in the market for an EE SIM, this 160GB of data option will be the obvious choice, costing just £20 a month for all of that data.

O2 | 24 months | 250GB data | Unlimited calls and texts | £20 a month + free Disney Plus
O2 very rarely cuts its prices so it really is worth making the most of the Cyber Monday discounts. With this plan, you'll pay £20 a month while getting 250GB of data. While that alone is quite a strong offer, O2 goes the extra step by also throwing in a free Disney Plus subscription with you plan.

These are the 10 mobile phone deals that are dominating the Cyber Monday sales

Missed out on a big saving from the Black Friday sale? Not to worry, the Cyber Monday sales have now arrived and with them, a whole of host of new discounts on top Apple and Android smartphones.

Just like during Black Friday last week, we're seeing the biggest savings today on the most popular flagship devices. This includes the Google Pixel 6, Samsung Galaxy S21 series and iPhone 13 range.

These devices rarely see significant reductions in price making today the perfect time to get them. Below we've picked out the 10 best Cyber Monday phone deals this year for you to compare.

The 10 best Cyber Monday phone deals

iPhone 13: at Mobiles.co.uk | Vodafone | £150 upfront (with code 10OFF) | 200GB data | unlimited minutes and texts | £32/pm
This is a fantastic iPhone 13 deal, offering one of the best overall prices we've seen so far. Yes, you do have to spend a lot upfront, paying a full £150 (with the code 10OFF) but after that, you'll be left with monthly of just £32. For that price, you'll get a massive 200GB of data on the Vodafone network. 

iPhone 12 mini: at Fonehouse | Three | £49 upfront | unlimited data, minutes and texts | £28pm
The iPhone 12 mini came way down in price over Black Friday and this fantastic price has remained for Cyber Monday. For a completely unlimited data, calls and texts plan, you'll only pay £49 upfront and £28 a month - a price we haven't seen beaten for this handset.

iPhone 11: at iD Mobile | FREE upfront | 20GB data | unlimited texts and minutes | £30.99pm £27.99pm
iD Mobile pulled out an absolute winner for the iPhone 11 this year, offering a 20GB of data plan for only £27.99 a month. If you don't mind going for a slightly older iPhone, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better cheap iPhone tariff than this right now.

Google Pixel 6: at iD Mobile | £29 upfront | unlimited data, minutes and texts | £26.99/pm
The Google Pixel 6 has been a popular device over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend but, no deal comes close to this one. iD Mobile is offering a completely unlimited data, calls and texts plan for only £26.99 a month. If you're interested in getting the Google Pixel 6, we would snatch up this deal before it's gone.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: at Samsung | SIM-free |  £949 £799
Despite being one of Samsung's newest devices, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 saw a massive discount in the Black Friday sales and, continues to stay discounted for Cyber Monday. Right now you will save £150. That's an especially impressive saving considering this was a pretty affordable device before the discount!

Samsung Galaxy S21: SIM-free | £769 £649
Like the Z Fold, the Samsung Galaxy S21 also saw a big SIM-free discount in this year's sales. You can save £120 on the price, getting you a powerful Samsung device at a really affordable price point. However, it is worth noting that this is not the lowest price we've ever seen it fall.

OnePlus 9 | 8GB RAM | 128GB storage: £629 £449 at Amazon (save £180)
While Samsung, Google and Apple stole the limelight this year, OnePlus has had some really strong discounts too. One of the best is on the OnePlus 9 where you can save an impressive £180. That leaves you paying just £449 for a device with some truly impressive specs on-board.

12GB RAM | 256GB storage: £729 £529 at Amazon (save £200)

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: at Fonehouse | Three | £29 upfront | 100GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £52pm
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra hasn't seen that many discounts in this year's sale but overall, this is the best deal this Cyber Monday. It gets you a 100GB of data plan for only £29 upfront and then £52 a month after that. Considering how expensive this device is, that's a really solid saving.

Samsung Galaxy A22 | Virgin | 2GB data | Free upfront | £24 a month + Nintendo Switch OLED
This offer from Virgin is a bit different. You'll get the Samsung Galaxy A22 with 2GB of data but also, Virgin will throw in a free Nintendo Switch OLED. Despite the free console and phone, that only comes in at £24 a month! If the 2GB of data cap is too low for you as well, you can simply upgrade for a few quid more each month.

Three SIM | 12 month contract | 100GB data | Unlimited calls and texts | £12 a month
Yes, not technically a phone deal but an offer that needs shouting out! Three launched the leading SIM only deal this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, offering up a 100GB of data plan for only £12 a month. For that price, most other SIM plans would get you a lot less data than that.

TechRadar is scouring every retailer and rounding up all the top deals over the Black Friday period, and we’ve put all the best Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals in easy-to-navigate articles to help you find the bargains you’re looking for.

What is Swap24 from Sky Mobile?

It requires a few more grey cells to work out, but Sky Mobile's Swap24 tariff can be a great way to get your new phone and know that you'll have the chance to upgrade later down the line.

In essence, Swap24 is a 36-month contract with the option to upgrade after 24 months. As long as you're phone is in full working order, you can return it to Sky after 24 months which will help pay off the bills of whatever shiny new handset you choose to upgrade to in two years' time.

If you get to 24 months with your new device and decide that you want to keep it for the remainder of the contract, you can do that, too.

While the premise is simple, it is important to note that Sky states on their website "full working order with no physical damage".

You can also swap your phone out any time after the first 31 days, you just need to pay what's left in your contract balance after the value of your phone is taken into account.

Why go for Sky Mobile?

Looking past the obvious reason of the affordable pricing above, Sky Mobile has a few special features that make it stand out:

Roll: Don't use all of your data one month? No problem! Sky will let you roll it over into the next month. You can keep rolling data over for up to three years, perfect if there's a time where you'll need it more. You can even cash in your unused data for a range of rewards from Sky or gift it to other phones if you're on a family account.

Watch: If you're also a Sky TV customer, you can watch the Sky Go app on your mobile without using up data on your phone - perfect for train journeys.

Mix: Go for any of the prices above and, if you realise later down the line that the data cap you chose isn't enough, you can change it up at any time.

Swap: Sky lets you swap your phone contract after 24 months, meaning you can upgrade to a new phone if you like. Obviously, you will need to pay for the upgraded contract price, but otherwise, it is pretty simple. Just to be clear, Sky's Swap 24 plans keep you contracted in for 36 months.

This retailer has the best Black Friday iPhone deals for the EE network this year

Black Friday has proved to be a great time to invest in a new iPhone with retailers across the UK dropping prices, launching big promotions, or generally offering fantastic tariffs. But, one area that feels slightly lacking is EE deals.

Most UK retailers are now unable to stock EE iPhone deals but, the retailer Affordable Mobiles still has them, and luckily, there are actually some really great choices this Black Friday.

Affordable Mobiles has launched low-cost EE plans on the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 11, and iPhone 13 Pro and we've picked out the best options, gathering them all below.

All of these Black Friday iPhone deals come with loads of data and with the exception of the iPhone 13 Pro, you won't pay a penny upfront for any of these deals right now.

The standout offers from Affordable Mobiles:

iPhone 13: at Affordable Mobiles | EE | FREE upfront | 100B data | unlimited minutes and texts | £47/pm
If you're looking for the iPhone 13 on the EE network, this will be the deal to go for. It doesn't cost anything at all upfront and then, your monthly bills will follow at £47 a month. For that price, you'll get 100GB of data on the EE network. 

iPhone 13 Pro: at Affordable Mobiles | EE | £99 upfront | 100B data | unlimited minutes and texts | £55/pm
The iPhone 13 Pro is another option that Affordable Mobiles has a great offer for. You'll pay £99 upfront and then £55 a month while getting 100GB of EE data. Overall, that is a brilliant offer for anyone who wants to max out on one of the pricier iPhones.

iPhone 12: at Affordable Mobiles | EE | FREE upfront | 75GB data | unlimtied minutes and texts | £38/pm
The iPhone 12 is now an older but more affordable device from Apple and realistically, one of the best value options for the EE network. With this deal, you won't pay a penny upfront and then your monthly bills follow at £38. For that price, you'll get 75GB of data. While that isn't as much as the offers above, it is still plenty for most people.

iPhone 11: at Affordable Mobiles | EE | FREE upfront | 50GB data | unlimtied minutes and texts | £32/pm
The iPhone 11 is one of the cheapest offers Apple still offers and if you're trying to keep your costs low, this will be a great deal to choose. You won't pay a penny upfront and then your monthly bills follow up at £32. For that price, you'll secure a decent 50GB of data.

Black Friday has arrived and these are the 9 best phone deals from the massive sale

Well, Black Friday has officially arrived! If you've bookmarked this big day of saving as the time to buy a new smartphone, you're in luck as there are some huge discounts on the top devices.

While we've seen promotions spanning cheap Samsung devices, SIM plans, flagship devices and everything in between, it's the premium handsets and popular iPhones we've seen the most impressive offers on.

Despite being a very new option, the Google Pixel 6 has featured frequently, along with the Samsung Galaxy S21 series and iPhones ranging from the 13 series through the 12 and 11 devices.

Below we've picked out the nine absolute strongest offers we've seen so far. These include both SIM-free and contract offers but, if you don't see anything that stands out to you, consult our Black Friday phone deals guide to see everything in one place.

The 9 best Black Friday phone deals

Google Pixel 6: at iD Mobile | £19 upfront (with code iDM10OFF) |  unlimited data, minutes and texts | £26.99/pm
This Google Pixel 6 deal from iD Mobile is really impressive. It gets you a completely unlimited data plan for only £26.99 a month and using the code iDM10OFF, you'll only pay £19 upfront. That makes this far cheaper than any other Google Pixel 6 deals around, even those with a smaller data plan!

Samsung Galaxy S21 from Mobiles.co.uk | Vodafone | FREE upfront | unlimited calls and texts | 200GB data | £28/pm with £168 cashback
This is undoubtedly the best Samsung Galaxy S21 deal we've seen since the phone was released at the start of the year. You don't have to pay a penny upfront, and then the £168 offsets the monthly bills, making them effectively £28 per month.

Google Pixel 6: at Mobiles.co.uk | Vodafone | £55 upfront | 105GB data | unlimited minutes and texts | £26/pm
If you're not too keen on the iD Mobile network, here's another fantastic offer on the Google Pixel 6. It comes from the retailer Mobiles.co.uk and offers 105GB of data on the Vodafone network. It will only cost you £55 upfront and then £26 a month. Next to the iD deal above, this is the second best price we've ever seen on the Google Pixel 6.

iPhone 13: at Mobiles.co.uk | Vodafone | £40 upfront (with code 10OFF) | 200GB data | unlimited minutes and texts | £39/pm
If the iPhone 13 was the device you had on your wishlist, this is the deal that we would pick. It only costs £40 upfront (with the code 10OFF) and then £39 a month. Despite that being a pretty affordable price, you'll get a massive 200GB of Vodafone data - more than plenty for how most people use their device.

iPhone 12 mini: at Fonehouse | Three | £49 upfront | unlimited data, minutes and texts | £28pm
The iPhone 12 mini has seen a lot of discounts this Black Friday but this offer is certainly one of the best. You'll pay £49 upfront and then £28 a month. Despite that being one of the most affordable prices around, it gets you a completely unlimited data, calls and texts plan - not bad at all!

iPhone 11: at iD Mobile | FREE upfront |  20GB data | unlimited texts and minutes | £30.99pm £27.99pm
Another incredibly affordable deal from iD Mobile. The iPhone 11 came right down in price to now only cost £27.99 a month. That's down from £30.99 and one of the cheapest prices out there for the iPhone 11. Despite the low costs,  you'll get a 20GB of data plan here.

Samsung Galaxy A22 | Virgin | 2GB data | Free upfront | £23 a month + Nintendo Switch
If you want a cheap smartphone but also feel like you should get something else for your money, this offer from Virgin will be perfect. You get the Samsung Galaxy A22 and, a Nintendo Switch thrown in for only £23 a month. That's a fantastic level of value for a phone and console that has become hard to find in stock.

Three SIM | 12 months | 100GB data | Unlimited calls and texts | £12 a month
For yet another year running, Three takes the title of best Black Friday SIM only deal. The numerical network always pulls something out of the bag, and 2021 hasn't disappointed. Sign up for a year of coverage, and you'll pay only £12 per month, while getting advantage of a massive 100GB of data.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: at Samsung | SIM-free |  £949 £799
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is one of Samsung's most recent devices and we were sure it wouldn't be discounted this Black Friday and yet, here we are with a massive £150 saving on the device. We would be shocked to see a better discount on a folding smartphone any time soon.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra | SIM-free | £1149 £969
Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 deal above, this is an impressive saving directly from Samsung. Right now, you can save £180 on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. While it isn't the lowest we've seen this handset fall, it really isn't far off and is likely the best price we'll see for the Ultra this Black Friday.

The best Google Pixel 6 deal from the whole of Black Friday is still available

The Black Friday sales are now over but as we cross over the weekend and into the Cyber Monday period, the best Google Pixel 6 deal continues to thrive, offering a market-leading price.

Right now, iD is offering the new Google Pixel 6 for only £26.99 a month and £19 upfront (when you use the code iDM10OFF). While that alone is impressive, making it one of the cheapest offers around, the data cap makes it even better.

That price is securing you a completely unlimited data, calls and texts plan. That is a brilliant price, especially when you consider the fact that an unlimited data SIM from iD would normally cost you £16 a month.

This Black Friday Google Pixel 6 deal is so cheap it feels like an error…but its not

The Black Friday sales are well and truly here and for those after a new smartphone, there are a few deals standing tall above the rest. One of those comes from iD Mobile, offering a price that feels almost too good.

Right now, iD is offering the new Google Pixel 6 for only £26.99 a month and £19 upfront (when you use the code iDM10OFF). While that alone is impressive, making it one of the cheapest offers around, the data cap makes it even better.

That price is securing you a completely unlimited data, calls and texts plan. That is a brilliant price, especially when you consider the fact that an unlimited data SIM from iD would normally cost you £16 a month.

That effectively means you're only paying £282 for the Google Pixel 6 - £317 less than if you bought it SIM-free right now. Overall, we'd be surprised to see a much better offer than this.

However, if you're not all too keen on the iD Mobile network, we have some exclusive prices on the Vodafone network which might be better suited.

As one of the latest devices to launch, we were not expecting the Google Pixel 6 to feature much this Black Friday. And yet, we've already seen a flurry of great offers, with this promotion from AT&T being one of the best.

Right now, you can get 50% off the price of the Google Pixel 6 at AT&T. That leaves you paying just $10.28 a month. While you do have to take out an unlimited data plan with to get this price, that's a requirement from most carriers to get the best prices on the Pixel 6.

It is important to note that you won't simply pay the discounted price, instead AT&T will give you $370 in bill credits, spread across the length of your phone contract leaving you with that monthly price.

While some retailers have been having issues with stock for the Google Pixel 6, AT&T seems to be unaffected and can deliver between November 24 and November 29.

Google Pixel 6: Get the Google Pixel 6 for just $10.28  a month with any unlimited data plan at AT&T
Right now, AT&T is offering one of the best promotions around on the Google Pixel 6. When you take out an unlimited data plan, you'll only have to pay $10.28 a month for the device. That is half of the original price making it a significant saving on such a new device.

What is the Google Pixel 6 like?

While the Google Pixel 6 won't compete with the very best flagships of the world, there's still a lot to love with this new handset. The 6.4-inch FHD+ display, while not as impressive as some other more expensive devices, will look bright and clear. That paired with the 90Hz refresh rate will provide a fluid experience as you swipe around the phone.

Google promises a 24-hour battery life from the 4524mAh battery and up to 30% charge in 30 minutes. Google has also bigged up its new 8GB RAM 'Google Tensor' processor. From our tests, the processor seemed to keep up with the best, providing an impressive experience in most categories.

The dual camera set-up provides an impressive camera performance. While not as powerful as what Samsung and Apple can offer, it is still likely to be one of the best around.

Get unlimited data for a bargain £15/pm with Smarty’s Black Friday SIM plans

The Black Friday season is well and truly here and with it, we've seen an influx in fantastic SIM only deals. One that really stands out is a recent promotion from the network Smarty.

It's offering up unlimited data, calls and texts for only £15 a month. Not only is that a massive discount from the original £20 a month price tag but it is also the cheapest unlimited data price around right now.

Another important feature with this SIM plan is the fact that Smarty operates on 1-month rolling contracts. That means you can leave at any time - perfect if you find another offer that better suits you later on - although we highly doubt you will!

With the huge amount of Black Friday SIM only deals we're seeing, there is one lower price on unlimited data. That comes from Lebara which is offering unlimited data for only £12.50 a month. However, that price only lasts for six months - half the length of time as Smarty.


Smarty's brilliant unlimited data SIM

Smarty SIM plan | 1 month rolling | unlimited data, calls and texts | £20 £15 a month
If you're in the market for a new unlimited data SIM plan, Smarty could well be the way to go right now. With this deal, you'll only pay £15 a month (down from its original price of £20). For that price, you'll get unlimited data, calls and texts on a 1-month rolling contract.

Why go for Smarty Mobile? 

It's a brand you may have never heard of, and yet it's a name giving the big retailers some serious competition - let us tell you why.

With an excellent mix of cheap SIM only deals and big data bargains, Smarty covers most of the market's needs. And, with its 1-month rolling contracts, you can stay for as long as you like, making this the perfect stop-over option.

One final benefit? Smarty allows you to tether your devices to your phone, meaning you can use up that data across any laptop, tablet, or even the console you picked up recently.

Save up to £540 on the iPhone 13 devices with Sky’s huge 50% off Black Friday deals

There are a lot of Black Friday sales live now, but, if you're in the market for a new handset, Sky Mobile might just have the most interesting offer that we've seen so far.

Across all of its 60GB of data plans, Sky Mobile is offering a whopping 50% off the price. No other data cap is discounted as much as that, and better still - the offer is available across absolutely every device that Sky Mobile stocks.

This is especially interesting when it comes to iPhone 13 deals, with price cuts of up to £540 off across the four devices. With this 50% discount, you'll only pay £42 a month for 60GB of data on the iPhone 13, or alternatively, Sky also has an 8GB plan for only £35 a month.

The iPhone 13 mini goes even cheaper at £39 a month for 60GB and the Pro and Pro Max follow at £47 and £52 respectively. All of these prices are easily some of the cheapest around for that much data but you can go even cheaper if you know you won't need that much data. 

We've listed everything you need to know about these Black Friday iPhone 13 deals below, or alternatively, you can head straight to Sky Mobile to see all of their 50% off discounts in one place.

Sky's best Black Friday phone deals

iPhone 13: at Sky | FREE upfront | 60GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £42pm
This is easily one of the cheapest iPhone 13 deals for this much data. It doesn't cost anything upfront and then only £42 a month for 60GB of data. It is worth keeping in mind that you are tied into a 36 month contract with the option to trade after two years. If the price is still too expensive, Sky is also offering discounts on other data caps.

iPhone 13 mini: at Sky | FREE upfront | 60GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £39pm
The iPhone 13 mini is the cheapest of the four devices and with the 50% of 60GB plans, you will currently pay just £39 a month for it. Like the other iPhone 13 devices, there are cheaper plans available from Sky if you don't mind getting a bit less data.

iPhone 13 Pro: at Sky | FREE upfront | 60GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £47pm
The iPhone 13 Pro steps the costs up quite significantly, but, like the other devices, this is one of the cheapest prices out there for this much data. You'll be paying only £47 a month for the 60GB of data cap or, even less if you opt for one of the lower data options. 

iPhone 13 Pro Max: at Sky | FREE upfront | 60GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £52pm
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is Apple's priciest device which makes this £52 a month price tag pretty impressive. For that price, you'll get the same 60GB of data cap with an effective saving of around £540. However, we think the best value on this device comes with Sky's lower data caps at a more affordable price.

What is Swap24 from Sky Mobile?

It requires a few more grey cells to work out, but Sky Mobile's Swap24 tariff can be a great way to get your new phone and know that you'll have the chance to upgrade later down the line.

In essence, Swap24 is a 36-month contract with the option to upgrade after 24 months. As long as you're phone is in full working order, you can return it to Sky after 24 months which will help pay off the bills of whatever shiny new handset you choose to upgrade to in two years' time.

If you get to 24 months with your new device and decide that you want to keep it for the remainder of the contract, you can do that, too.

While the premise is simple, it is important to note that Sky states on their website "full working order with no physical damage".

You can also swap your phone out any time after the first 31 days, you just need to pay what's left in your contract balance after the value of your phone is taken into account.

Why go for Sky Mobile?

Looking past the obvious reason of the affordable pricing above, Sky Mobile has a few special features that make it stand out:

Roll: Don't use all of your data one month? No problem! Sky will let you roll it over into the next month. You can keep rolling data over for up to three years, perfect if there's a time where you'll need it more. You can even cash in your unused data for a range of rewards from Sky or gift it to other phones if you're on a family account.

Watch: If you're also a Sky TV customer, you can watch the Sky Go app on your mobile without using up data on your phone - perfect for train journeys.

Mix: Go for any of the prices above and, if you realise later down the line that the data cap you chose isn't enough, you can change it up at any time.

Swap: Sky lets you swap your phone contract after 24 months, meaning you can upgrade to a new phone if you like. Obviously, you will need to pay for the upgraded contract price, but otherwise, it is pretty simple. Just to be clear, Sky's Swap 24 plans keep you contracted in for 36 months.

Verizon has officially gone live with its first round of Black Friday deals and while there are a host of promotions available, it's a free gift with select phones that really stands out.
