SIM-only means that you are not purchasing a phone with your data and call plan – you are only buying a SIM card to use in an existing smartphone or tablet. At SMARTY our plans are SIM only with upfront payment just like pay as you go. That means you buy a SIM packed full of data, plus unlimited calls and texts, ready to insert into your own phone or tablet.
