Please allow us to play around with a hypothetical scenario for a moment. You have a wonderful handset. All bells and whistles. Fantastic battery. Takes amazing photos. Looks and feels great. Terrible contract.

If this sounds eerily similar to your current situation, do not be alarmed. We haven't got you bugged, and we don't know all the intimate details of your life. What we do know is that this is fairly common and something that be easily rectified with a SIM-only deal.

A SIM-only deal offers a package of minutes, texts, and data for a monthly cost but you don't get a new handset, because you don't need one. There are plenty of these deals available from every mobile provider but the current offering from Virgin Media stands out from the crowd, particularly if you require a data-heavy package.

You can receive up to three times the usual data rates with Virgin Media's SIM-only deals in the January sale. Not only that but Virgin Media claims to have faster 4G on average than O2, Vodafone, and Three.

You can take your pick from a selection of different plans. We have sourced the best Virgin Media SIM-only deals depending on your data needs:

SIM cards fit all phones, and you can benefit from 14 day returns and free delivery. If you require more data but love your handset, check out these SIM-only deals.
