About BT Mobile
BT Mobile was relaunched on 20 May 2026 as part of BT Group's brand refresh — after stopping new customer sign-ups in October 2023 (when BT had been directing customers to EE). The relaunched BT Mobile is available exclusively to BT Consumer broadband customers, delivered via eSIM only (no physical SIM card). It runs on EE's network — the UK's fastest and widest 5G. The relaunch includes AI-powered scam call screening.
Plans
We don't list live prices — they change frequently. Below we explain how each plan type works.
BT Mobile (relaunched 2026) offers 30-day rolling SIM Only plans with capped data allowances. Designed as affordable add-ons to BT broadband, not standalone plans. All activate via eSIM. Only available to BT Consumer broadband subscribers. Plans expected to be competitively priced as a broadband bundle add-on.
BT Mobile (2026) does not offer Pay Monthly handset contracts — EE (also part of BT Group) remains the option for phone + plan bundles. BT Mobile is airtime-only.
Not applicable — BT Mobile (2026) focuses on 30-day rolling SIM-only plans for BT broadband customers.
BT Mobile (2026) is eSIM-only — no physical SIM card is provided. Activation is fully digital via QR code after sign-up. Requires a compatible eSIM device: recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+.
