If a Prime SIM only deal doesn’t have sufficient benefits then it just becomes a backup SIM or one for the kids.

At the moment Prime is largely the bundling of free next day delivery with the streaming content, but as audiences “mine out” the streaming content that offers progressively less value unless you’re happy with the speed of adding (and quality) of new content.īut maybe it will never get forward simply due to the economics – Prime is currently about £100 a year, and MVNO SIM only deals typically land in the range £7-10 a month for any credible data allowance. If it does happen it’ll certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons, and it would be a good way of Amazon adding more value to Prime. No smoke without fire, but I can’t see the MNOs being best pleased with this idea either in the US or UK. However, at the time of writing, all of the mentioned US mobile carriers have denied the existence of any formal talks and Amazon itself has said they “ don’t have plans to add wireless at this time” (emphasis on “ at this time“).


Given Amazon’s position in the wider consumer market, such a move would be significant and could eventually spread to other countries, such as the UK.
