Pros and cons

Pros

  • A network seller, so the plans run on its own network rather than a host: network.
  • Sim only across contract and prepaid billing, so there is no bundled handset to pay for.
  • Esim and 5G are both included, alongside Wifi calling, which is unusual to find in the same sim only plan.
  • Data rollover keeps unused data, and 40 countries roaming destinations sit under fair use.
  • Multi line discount applies, and support runs through chat, phone and help centre.

Cons

  • Plans run on a 24 month contract, which is longer than many prepaid tariffs on the site.
  • Entry price of €16 sits above the €9.30 site median, so the cheapest option is not the headline figure.
  • EU roaming is on fair use terms, and 36.1% of the site offers roaming included instead.
  • Billing is limited to contract and prepaid, with no rolling monthly option, unlike yesss whose billing includes contract, rolling and prepaid.

Who it suits

  • Readers in the market for sim only plans who want eSIM support without switching to an MVNO
  • Households that want unused data to carry over rather than expire on a month boundary
  • People travelling who want roaming on fair use terms across 40 countries destinations

Who should look elsewhere

  • Readers wanting a rolling monthly tariff, since billing runs contract and prepaid and not rolling like yesss
  • Buyers whose main draw is the lowest entry price, since €16 is above the €9.30 site median
  • Travellers who need roaming included in the plan, because EU roaming is fair use

What it does well

Nova sells sim only plans on its own network: network sets the seller as a network rather than a reseller. The tariff structure is contract and prepaid, and the contract length is 24 months, so a reader choosing here is committing to a fixed term rather than a monthly rolling deal. Sim only means no handset is bundled, which keeps the entry point at €16. The technical side is broad for a sim only line: 5G is included, as is Esim, so activation does not need a physical card, and Wifi calling is supported for calls over a fixed connection. Multi line discount applies, which matters for a further line on the same account. Roaming covers 40 countries destinations, and the EU side of that is on fair use terms rather than a fully included allowance. Support is handled through chat, phone and help centre, so a customer can reach the network by live chat as well as through the help centre.

How Nova compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Nova sim only plan cost to enter?+

Entry starts at €16, which is above the €9.30 median across the site. That figure is for sim only plans with no handset bundled, and Nova is a network seller rather than a reseller. Across the 258 brands ranked on entry price, Nova sits at position 225.

What is the contract length on a Nova plan?+

Nova's listed plans run 24 months, and billing is contract and prepaid, so there is no rolling monthly option. That is longer than the 78% share of short monthly terms on the site. A reader who wants a short commitment would need to look elsewhere.

Does Nova offer eSIM or a physical SIM?+

Nova supports Esim, so a new line can be activated without waiting for a physical card to arrive. Sim only is available across the same plans. Wi-Fi calling is also included, which helps when a handset has no usable signal at an indoor location.

Does a Nova plan include 5G access?+

Yes, 5G is included on Nova's plans, which matches most of the sim only plans tracked on the site. The listing also confirms sim only, so 5G is not tied to a paid handset bundle. 95.2% of the site's mobile plans include 5G.

What happens to data I do not use?+

Data rollover is available, so unused allowance is not simply dropped at the end of a monthly period. That is one of the reasons the offer side of Nova's score reaches 9. 71.1% of the site's plans carry rollover.

How far can I roam with a Nova plan?+

Roaming covers 40 countries destinations. Within the EU, usage is on fair use terms, so travel data is restricted rather than fully included. For readers who roam heavily, a plan with included EU roaming may suit better, since 36.1% of the site offers that.

Can I get a discount on a second line?+

Multi line discount is available on Nova's plans, which lowers the cost of adding another sim only line to the same account. A household with a second or third line can see the effect immediately on the bill. Support for any of this runs through chat, phone and help centre.

What does Nova score on value?+

The overall score is 8.6 out of ten, with the offer part at 9 and the cost part at 8.3. The offer side benefits from eSIM, 5G, wifi calling, rollover and the multi line discount together. The cost side is held back by the €16 entry point.
