What is it?
1pMobile is a UK MVNO owned by UK Telecom Holdings, running on the EE 4G and 5G network. The brand became known for its eponymous 1p per minute, 1p per text, 1p per MB pay-as-you-go SIM with credit that does not expire while the account is active.
1pMobile has since added monthly bundle plans starting at GBP 5 for 5 GB. The 50 GB tier at GBP 10 includes free roaming across 46 countries (more than most UK plans, including most countries outside the EU), which makes it a popular pick for travellers. No annual price rise, no credit check, eSIM available.
