What is the free SMARTY SIM?

SMARTY sends a free SIM with no commitment. Plans are simple, monthly, and you get cashback for any data you don't use.

It runs on Three (MVNO), giving you 99% UK population (via Three) on 4G and Largest 5G geographic footprint on 5G. Runs on Three — 99% UK 4G coverage and one of the largest 5G networks.

The SIM card and UK delivery are completely free (2–3 working days). There's no contract, no credit check, and you only pay if you choose to top up. Best for light-to-medium users who want fair, flexible pricing. Not sold? Compare it with our Vodafone review or O2 review.
