About 1p Mobile
Plans and data
Bundles range from 1GB up to 200GB, or unlimited data, and each includes unlimited UK calls and texts. Options cater for light users and data-heavy users alike. The classic pay-as-you-go tariff charges 1p per minute, per text and per megabyte. A Family Bundle puts several SIMs together at a reduced cost.
Network and roaming
The service runs on EE's network, with 4G and 5G data, and the company says its coverage reaches almost all of the UK population. Roaming in 46 European destinations costs nothing extra up to a 14GB fair use limit, which is handy for holidays.
Getting a SIM
SIM delivery is free, and compatible phones can activate an eSIM instantly instead. There are no shops; everything is arranged online. An unused SIM can be returned within 14 days, but top-up credit is not refundable. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or Direct Debit. Students get a discount on SIM plans through Student Beans and Grad Beans, plus a data boost when they join. NHS staff and armed forces members can also get a discount via Beans ID.
