Methodology

Mob Deals compares SIM-only plans using structured fields: provider, underlying network, monthly price, data allowance, contract term, roaming note and provider/source URL.

What is verified?

Provider/source URLs are public links for users to check final details. The current static site does not claim real-time scraping, live lowest-price status or guaranteed availability.

What must be checked before switching

• Final monthly price and any introductory period.
• Contract length, cancellation terms and annual price-rise policy.
• Fair-use, tethering and roaming allowance.
• Coverage at your exact address using Ofcom and provider tools.

Live public source checks

The public file data/live-sources.json is generated from provider source URLs. It records source reachability, final URL, HTTP status and raw price-like tokens where public pages expose them. These signals do not automatically update listed deal prices because promotions, checkout conditions and eligibility rules require human review.

Future automation requirements

Any future scraper or API should store source URL, captured timestamp, old/new values, validation result and human approval before publishing.
