BT Mobile Deals
BT Mobile was launched in March 2015 and is known as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and is provided by a division of BT Group. BT signed an agreement with EE back in 2014 to allow them to use their network, however in 2016 BT took over ownership of EE in a successful acquisition. In the beginning BT Mobile launched a SIM only service and by May 2016 had over 400,000 customers.
The company has since expanded its services to become a fully fledged Mobile service with handsets and SIM only deals. Anyone using the BT Broadband at home is eligible for a £5 monthly discount on all BT Mobile plans.
Latest BT Mobile Deals
BT Broadband
BT Group relies a lot on its reputation as the most recognisable name in the telecommunications industry, and it is the most widely chosen broadband provider in the UK. All of the BT Broadband deals feature unlimited data allowances. The only difference between the packages is the speed.
The standard BT Broadband uses ADSL and gives an average speed of 10MB, giving you an average download speed of 1.25MB per second. Need something faster? Then BT Fibre 1 or Fibre 2 may be a better option, offering between 50MB and a faster 67MB.
After you have chosen your broadband package, you can look at optional extras such as a home phone or a BT TV subscription.
BT Mobile SIM Only Deals
A SIM only contract means that rather than paying a high monthly bill, covering the cost of the handset and the tariff, you just pay for the tariff. When you choose a SIM only plan from BT Mobile, you can choose from a 12 month or 18 month contract. The longer the contract the better the deal will be.
BT Mobile offers a 30 day money back deal whereby, if you are not happy with the services in the first 30 days you can give them a call and cancel the contract and refund your first monthly charge. You will only be eligible to pay for anything outside of your chosen plan allowance.
There are currently three types of SIM only contracts available at BT Mobile. These are:
- Standard SIM only - available in 12 or 18 month contracts and includes minute, text and data allowance. You also have the option to change your data on a monthly basis. Choose the 40GB (or more) data and you will also benefit from access to BT sports on the app.
- Family SIM only - great for parents as it allows you to have multiple SIMs in one household, being paid for from one account. You have the ability to add and remove SIMs every month to suit your needs. Deals are based on the number of SIMs and how much data per SIM is needed.
- Data Only SIM - with this SIM you won’t be able to make calls or send texts but you can connect to the BT Mobile 4G network. This is the perfect SIM if you need a data connection on a tablet. Available on a 12 month contract.
