Bet you didn't realise that Black Friday is an ideal time of year to buy a SIM.

While the spotlight tends to shine on the latest phone and hardware discounts, contract deals are something of an unsung hero, despite the fact they often save you more money in the long run.

For one, you'll find that most mobile phone operators offer SIM-only discounts that last for the entirety of your contract, or at the very least six months.

For another, the biggest discounts often centre around the plans with more, or even Unlimited, data.

One of the companies that best exemplifies this is EE, which is running major sales on SIM-only plans from 26th November.

Some of the best deals include a 100GB SIM from just £19 a month and several of the Unlimited Data plans are available for 12 months' half price. Here's a closer look at what's on offer.
