I'm new to 1pMobile and so far I've been impressed with the value offered. I'm a light user and don't need massive data bundles. It's good that there are still networks out there that cater for people... See more

I changed from my existing provider to 1PMobile mainly because I wanted to use the EE network, which has better coverage in rural areas, but I didn't want to pay the EE price. The transfer, includin... See more

Mobile service is great, the same as my previous EE contract but better price and roaming included. No complaints with the mobile service so far. Would be 5 stars if the 1p website was more stable as... See more

I am using this for the last few weeks. Overall, it is working fine but only with 4G connection. I haven't received any 5G service in my phone during this whole period. I live in London and I have to... See more

I'm not a new user

I'm not a new user, but started a second SIM with the wrong form of startup, contact with 1P produced their usual prompt and corrective response, ( yep, that's right I've made mistakes previously). This is the sort of response we should obtain from all service providers but it's not the norm these days. Very well done, keep the others on their toes. Thank you very much for clear precise help.

What do you want in a MVNO plan?

Recently made the switch from EE to penny mobile, with the following features:
1. Great 4G cover (because 5G is still patchy in UK)
2. Uncapped speed (if you are near a mast, I have seen 900Mbps downloads)
3. Email 2FA (but I am hoping they might do authenticator or passkeys in the future)
4. ESIM
5. 30 day rolling with no price increase
6. EU roaming

Great service and value for money.

Great service and value for money.
Was a bit nervous about leaving my previous provider as I've always been with one of the "big" names.

No problems at all. Swapping my number to the new SIM was very easy and smooth. Lots of updates and information while it was going through.

The actual service is as good or even better then my previous provider. They use the EE network with no restrictions.

Now I'm paying a lot less per month, got a bundle on a monthly rolling contract, with an improved service.

If you're thinking about using 1p Mobile I can highly recommend it.

Better than EE

I transferred from EE and so far so good. Nice simple website with all settings easily accessible. No difference in coverage and much cheaper. I have not had cause to use customer services yet so the jury's still out on that.

Bad Sign up Experience - over a week and still no service

I appreciate that my situation may not reflect the typical experience, as I ordered a gold number. However, the process so far has been quite frustrating.

I received my SIM on Friday and attempted to activate it on Sunday, but I was unable to make calls. I contacted customer services on Monday and was informed that the wrong SIM had been sent. A replacement arrived on Thursday, but the SIM number on the accompanying letter did not match the number on the physical SIM.

I requested activation online using the physical SIM number at 10am on Thursday. It is now the end of Friday, and my phone still has no service. When I contacted customer services again, I was told there is a backlog on SIM swaps, and activation could take up to an additional 48 hours.

Update: Service was established on Saturday morning - so 2 days to activate and 6 days after I started paying for the service.

Smooth transition

A smooth transition from my previous provider, which appeared to be carried out overnight, proved no disruption was made to my mobile phone service.
Clear instructions were provided, my number was transferred successfully and the whole process went really well. Thank you!
