Low-cost 5G plans: a current selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The table compares four offers with 25 GB each. It helps put base prices and billing periods into context. Smaller packages may cost less if you use little data; if you stream frequently away from Wi-Fi, include larger packages in your comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to read the table:<\/strong> Base prices exclude a handset and any extra charges or credits. A starter pack, activation fee, top-up and temporary benefits can change the amount you pay initially. SIM.de offers contract variants with different activation charges, among other differences. Check the selected variant in the contract summary.

Monthly or every four weeks: compare like with like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Four weeks means 28 days. That plan renews more often than one billed monthly. To compare prices, spread the four-week charge across a calendar year: price \u00d7 365 \u00f7 28 \u00f7 12<\/strong>. A charge of \u20ac8.99 every four weeks works out at approximately \u20ac9.77 per calendar month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conversion spreads a four-week charge over 365 days for comparison. Billing dates and starting credit determine the payments actually made. Open the graphic to enlarge it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a monthly contract, add the base charges over your chosen period, the activation fee and mandatory extras. Then subtract credits you can reliably obtain and divide the total by the number of months. Include cashback only when you can meet its conditions and reasonably expect the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worked example using hypothetical figures:<\/strong> 24 months at \u20ac9.99 plus a \u20ac19.99 activation fee total \u20ac259.75, or about \u20ac10.82 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much data do you need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with your usage over the last three months. Your provider\u2019s app usually shows billed mobile data; your phone can also break usage down by application. Allow some headroom for travel, navigation and months when you use less Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
