In this way you need not to enter into a long term deal and get stuck. If you find it good then you can proceed otherwise just stop using that network and test the new one.

The wonderful thing is that you have no liabilities if you want to quit and you enjoy lower tariffs as compared to other deals. You don't even need to say good bye to your present phone. SIM only deals are just the right choice for you.
