We've analysed the unlimited data Galaxy A16 contracts available on each UK mobile network and picked out the most competitive deal on each provider. Here's the state of play for October:

We'd say the best value option currently is this £14.99 a month (£0 up front) deal on iD Mobile:

Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts +  Unlimited data (4G) =  £14.99 a month, £0 up front (24‑month contract)

Or a good alternative to that is giffgaff's £17.89 a month unlimited data deal here in second place:

Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts +  Always On data (4G) =  £17.89 a month, £25 up front (36‑month contract)

Vodafone's plan here comes after that in our opinion:

🛈 Increased to: £22.80 on April 1 2026.
