It can be tough to find the best family SIM in the UK. We did some of the work for you, so you can find a mobile provider that gets you more data, more SIMs or more calls to the people you love.
Best SIM if you need lots of data
EE Shared 4GEE Plans is ideal for families who love to stream movies, play games and surf the web all day and night. Up to five devices can share as much as 50 GB of data each month, plus unlimited calls and texts for all the devices on the plan. Plus, you can add devices as you go, so not all five members need to join at once.
Best SIM for big families
O2 Sharer Plans let up to 10 devices share between 1 GB and 20 GB of data each month. So whether you have nine brothers and sisters, a huge group of friends, a small business or two mobiles and three tablets all to yourself, you're covered.
Best flexible SIM
This one is a two-way tie between Sky Mobile and BT Family SIM. Both let you manage up to five contracts or SIMs on the same account and modify your plan to suit your family's needs.
Sky Mobile Family Plan
- Lets you change your plan based on your anticipated data needs each month
BT Family SIM
- You can choose a 4 GB, 6 GB or 20 GB plan and add or remove SIMs when you want
- One SIM has a 12-month contract, but additional cards have 30-day terms to test it out
Best SIM if you like free stuff
Tesco Mobile Family Perks rewards you for adding contracts to your account. To be eligible, you just need to buy two or more pay-monthly contracts or add a second contract to an existing Tesco Mobile account.

Best SIM-only plan for kids
