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 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

Nothing but problems

I recently joined 1pmobile selecting to install via eSim, but have been facing issues ever since. I noticed I couldn't receive OTPs which meant I couldn't log in to any services like HMRC and some financial services which require it. I then realised I cannot receive ANY SMS unless from someone also on 1pmobile. I then asked my mother to try calling me (from a different network), but she said she hears "the number you've called has not been recognised". Customer support are gaslighting me saying they're not seeing any texts or OTPs coming through, so are doubting I am even requesting them. I wish I never switched away from O2. This is crazy. I've never experienced anything like this since owning my first mobile phone decades ago.

Easy to get hold of new SIM

Easy to get hold of new SIM, easy to transfer number. Have had the new SIM for 3 months and the cellular reception (calls & 5g) where I live is getting worse and worse. As expected the “coverage checker” reveals fantastic coverage which is, well, nonsense. Doesn’t appear anyone to raise this with. But, with this being a monthly only contract, easy to leave.

Web site doesn't work

Got a rather demanding email saying my account needed topping up by 54p or would cut the service, when I tried to login using the mobile number and email they sent the message to, said details not recognised even though carefully entered. No other options to top up given nor any way to gain help given in the email.

Account blocked immediately after payment no response

I initially planned to move 3 business mobile phones to 1pMobile, so I opened an account and paid £15 to test the service.
I received login details, but as soon as I tried to access the account, it was blocked with a “Security Alert – Suspicious Activity Detected” message. Since then, I have had zero access to the service.
I contacted both support and their security team multiple times, but after 3 days there has been no response at all.
At this point, I have paid for a service that I have not been able to use even once.
Based on this experience, I’m reconsidering switching providers entirely and it makes me understand why businesses often stick with more expensive providers like BT.
I have now raised a PayPal dispute due to non-delivery of service. I will update this review if the issue is resolved.

Needs met

I’ve been on 1p for a couple years now after leaving Vodafone and it’s been great tbh. I get EE level connection with them, never really had any major issue.

It’s certainly a no frills network, you can port your number easily but for the EE network at a small cost, I find it to be the best value one there is as I don’t care about anything else. No locked in contract, can leave anytime you want.

[tip] seems to be people complaining about a certain issue but when i went abroad, i just ended up using a holafly esim as was outside of europe and it worked great for me, i got back home and continued with 1p.

Changed over to 1p Mobile

Changed over to 1p Mobile from EE after a huge price increase this year, brilliant experience so far with easy process for phone number porting. The coverage is great and so are the data speeds offered, all in all a great MVNO with great prices. I would recommend the switch.

The app and website crashes regularly

The app and website crashes regularly. Furthermore, phones aren't answered and emails are ignored. I very much regret ever joining them and will switch at the earliest opportunity.

Left without data, support can't help

I used all of my data whilst on holiday and although the website is down more often than it is up and is the only way to add more data boosts, I finally managed to do so.

Even though this boost was charged for and showing on my account, it has never worked and I have been left without any data on my phone for days. Support did respond to say that they were experiencing issues, and that the issue was fixed but it was not and subsequent requests for support were ignored.

This is the first time in 30 years of owning a mobile device that I have been left with no service due to a 'technical issue' so I've had no option but to order a connection with a competing provider and my number ports to them next week.

A customer lost due to 'technical issues' and little to no customer support. I would avoid if you value a reliable connection.

Changed from Tesco mobile (O2) to 1p (EE) for a more reliable service.

I had 2 phones on Tesco mobile (using the O2 network) for many years, however, both had connection issues, either dropping in and out of the signal during a conversation or just cutting out completely. I contacted Tesco mobile on numerous occasions without a resolution so they agreed to release me from my contract without any penalty.
After researching the best signal provider for my area I established that EE would be the best option. I chose 1p for an even lower monthly cost and my wife has relatives in Australia who only use mobiles and 1p provide a service to Australian mobiles at a sensible cost.
After several weeks of use we've not experienced any of the signal problems. Result!

So far so good

So far so good! Changed my SIM only to 1p mobile recently and it was a smooth transition with a better deal all round for less money. No problems as yet so I'm pleased!

Mobile service is great

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 it is quite often unavailable.
