Our verdict
Simyo suits anyone who wants a low entry cost with no long tie in, and it runs on Orange, so coverage is the main thing to check. It carries an overall score of 9.1, and the small print is thinner than on a direct network deal.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry at €3 sits below the typical figure of €9.30 for this kind of plan
- All plans run on a single monthly term of 1 month, so there is no long contract to exit
- Roaming reaches 32 countries destinations under fair use terms, which suits frequent travellers
- Data rollover means unused data carries into the next month, a feature most listed plans lack
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, covering phone and email rather than a single channel
Cons
- Plans are sim only, so no handset is included and you bring your own device
- Billing options listed as contract, rolling and prepaid mean the choice is narrower than at a prepaid-first seller
- The highest allowance listed costs more than the entry plan, so heavy users pay a step up rather than a flat rate
- Simyo is a mvno on Orange, which differs from the direct network sellers it is compared against
Who it suits
- Travellers who need data in 32 countries destinations under fair use terms
- Households adding several lines, since a multi line discount is available
- People on Orange who already know the coverage suits them
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a handset bundled with the plan, since only sim only is offered
- People set on a prepaid-first structure, where sellers such as GETESA match more closely
- Buyers who need long fixed terms, since terms run 1 month
What it does well
Simyo keeps the feature set simple and current. Sim only is the format, so the plan works on any unlocked handset you already own. 5G is supported on the Orange network, along with an eSIM and wifi calling for indoor signal. Roaming is handled under fair use terms across 32 countries destinations, which is where the value shows for anyone who travels in Europe. Unused data rolls into the following month, and a multi line discount is offered if more than one line is taken. Support is listed as phone, email and help centre.
Who runs it
Simyo has been trading since 2008 and is a mvno, so the network it uses is Orange rather than its own. That relationship is worth remembering when you compare it with a direct network seller, since the pricing is set independently. Getting hold of the company runs through phone, email and help centre.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Simyo plan cost each month?+
Entry sits at €3. The bigger allowances cost more, with the mid tier priced well below the highest tier, so the monthly bill depends on how much data you actually use rather than on a fixed package for everyone.
Do I have to sign a long contract?+
No. Every plan runs on a term of 1 month, so there is no long tie in to serve out. Billing options are listed as contract, rolling and prepaid, which covers contract, rolling and prepaid styles, and you are not locked into paying exit charges on a multi year deal.
Is this a sim only deal and does a phone come with it?+
Sim only is the format offered, so no handset is bundled. You need an unlocked device of your own. An eSIM is supported, which means you can also activate on a compatible phone without a physical card.
Which network does Simyo run on and does that matter for coverage?+
Service runs on Orange, and 5G is supported there. Because Simyo is a mvno rather than the network operator, the pricing is its own, but the coverage you get is that of Orange in your area.
How does roaming work if I go abroad?+
Roaming is available under fair use terms, covering 32 countries destinations. That fair use basis suits occasional travel, and combined with the low entry price of €3 it keeps a short trip inexpensive.
What happens to data I do not use in the month?+
Data rollover is included, so unused allowance carries into the next month. That is worth more on the smaller allowances than on the largest, where most of the data would be used anyway. The entry price of €3 also means little is wasted on a quiet month.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs through phone, email and help centre, so you can pick phone, email or the help centre depending on the issue. The company has been trading since 2008, which gives some reassurance on a brand that is not the network operator itself.
Is there a discount for more than one line?+
Yes, a multi line discount applies. That is useful for couples or families who want the same Orange coverage on each line, and it works alongside the single monthly term of 1-month rather than requiring a longer commitment.
