Honest Mobile 4+

Block content can’t be saved or changed on the app, I had to contact someone about it. Also, I wouldn’t mind being able to see my data usage… can’t change the sim nickname? It’s very very basic… customer service ain’t bad, only available in certain times. Which is fine I suppose?

I was a bit apprehensive about switching as I’d always been with EE before and orange before that. I never had an issue with them or their signal, the prices were just getting ridiculous.

I’d never really heard good things about Three (who Honest use to piggy back on) but to my surprise after doing a speed test where their signal was strongest, I was pulling in over 750mb! They do have a bit of work to do with 5G, where you would expect to get it like a city centre where I live, it was spotty at best. Overall though I’m happy with it.

More importantly switching has reduced my phone bill by more than 50% and even more when the loyalty bonuses increase. If Honest Mobile keeps to their word and makes some more innovative moves as they have even doing, they’ll be poaching customers left right & centre.

Very attractive idea - a data SIM that saves you in those dark holes of reception with your current across London plus the bonus of global data roaming with key apps that matter - all for £5 per month or less on the annual plan?

Happy to support any new innovation, I was all in and expected teething problems.

In London I have not noticed much benefit, but it does seem to switch networks when my own is iffy.

Roaming - I travel a lot - and the convenience of have the basics connected with no additional hassle is phenomenal. It has saved me money and time, gives me the confidence of being able to communicate and navigate. Do I miss full use of all apps - yes, but at this price I will live with it. I have had to buy other eSims do to work needs, but for the most part balancing WiFi access with this SmartSIM is enough.

And the customer support is responsive, they are listening and encouraging feedback. I have great hopes for this to only get better and I sincerely hope that enough people subscribe and pay to help them keep this price point.
