What is SIM only?
A SIM only deal means you only pay for your usage, instead of paying for your handset and how much data, minutes and texts you use in a month.
This means you’ll actually save money over time, as you won’t be paying for more than you use, or for a handset you paid off long ago. Also, you’re not tied to any contract, so you can come and go as you please!
SIM only is more affordable, offers improved flexibility, and lets you stay in control of your finances.
With an Asda mobile SIM only deal, you can choose between a Pay As You Go plan or a great value monthly bundle that will automatically renew for as long as you wish to continue on it.

Add-ons
If you’ve run out of data before your bundle renews, you can buy an add-on to get a mid-month boost.
Roam like you’re at home
Enjoy 4G or superfast 5G on your next holiday at no extra charge. As long as you have an active bundle, you can roam like you’re at home in 37 European destinations.
Wi-Fi calling
Take your connection to the next level. With Wi-Fi calling, you can send texts and make calls even in remote locations, where signals may be patchy.
This is a free feature for all Asda mobile customers, providing you have a compatible phone.
eSIM phones
Instead of prying open the back case, Asda mobile now lets you switch to an eSIM if your phone is compatible.
This provides better security and convenience, as everything is stored virtually - without the need for a physical SIM card.
Just make sure you check that your handset is compatible before purchasing an eSIM with Asda mobile.
Refer a friend
Fancy a £5 reward for you and a friend? Get them to join your mobile network and you’ll both be rewarded!
Simply send an invite to your friend using the unique URL found in ‘My Account’. Your friend will need to buy a recurring pre-loaded SIM card.
Once your friend’s bundle has been active for three months, you’ll both receive a £5 Asda eGift card to spend however you want on the asda.com website.

4) Transfer over your number
Transferring over your number is easy - it can be done through your online account.
