What is a Alcatel Onetouch 20.45X (Black Refurbished Grade A) SIM-free phone?

A SIM is the small microchip which contains information such as your settings and personal data, including contacts and photos etc. Without a SIM card, your handset is an empty shell waiting to be activated. A SIM effectively powers your handset.
Most mobile phone contracts include both a handset and a SIM, which covers your connectivity, calls, texts and mobile data. However, it is possible to separate the SIM and the handset and go for either a handset deal or SIM-free deal (which are effectively the same thing) or buy the Alcatel Onetouch 20.45X (Black Refurbished Grade A) handset up front and outright.

What is a Alcatel Onetouch 20.45X (Black Refurbished Grade A) Phone Pre-pay?

What are the benefits of buying a Alcatel Onetouch 20.45X (Black Refurbished Grade A) SIM-free phone?

Buying a Alcatel Onetouch 20.45X (Black Refurbished Grade A) SIM-free phone is overall much cheaper than the other, often costly, mobile contract options.

A SIM-free handset means you're going to need a SIM to go with it.

Generally, you should be free to buy a Alcatel Onetouch 20.45X (Black Refurbished Grade A) SIM-free handset from any network such as Virgin, O2, O2 and Vodafone, but this is not a given. Don't forget to read the small print when you buy a handset.
