Most UK mobile networks now offer an unlimited data plan, allowing you to download as much as you like. We compare unlimited data plans in the UK.

Whether you’re a heavy smartphone user or whether you just want the reassurance of never running out of data, most UK mobile networks now offer an unlimited data plan.

At present, it’s possible to get an unlimited data plan from ten UK mobile networks: BT Mobile, EE, giffgaff, iD Mobile, O2, SMARTY, Three, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone and VOXI. On all of these plans, you can stop worrying about how many gigabytes you’re using as you’ll never run out of data again in the middle of the month.

As a cheaper alternative to unlimited data plans, you can also consider a zero-rated data plan that gives you unlimited data for use on certain services. These are available in the form of EE’s Swappable Benefits, Three’s Go Binge, Virgin Mobile’s Data-Free Messaging and VOXI’s Monthly Passes.

In this article, we’ll review and compare your options for an unlimited mobile data plan in the UK.

Overview of Unlimited Data Plans

In the rest of this article, we’ll review each of the unlimited data plans and zero-rated data plans in more detail.

Unlimited Data Plans

At present, unlimited data plans are available from 10 UK mobile networks (BT Mobile, EE, giffgaff, iD Mobile, O2, SMARTY, Three, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone and VOXI):

BT Mobile

On BT Mobile, it’s possible to get a No Limits plan when you join Halo (which gives you mobile, home phone, home broadband and tech support in a combined package from BT).

If you already have BT’s Halo service, you can add the following SIM card to your plan for unlimited data and up to 5G download speeds:

NetworkMinutesTextsDataMonthly
Cost
BT MobileUnlimitedUnlimitedUnlimited£30.00
12 months

If you’re not a BT Halo customer, you’ll need to sign up for a BT’s Halo fibre broadband at the same time as ordering unlimited data from BT Mobile. Unfortunately, this tends to be fairly expensive so you might be looking in the region of £85/month for a No Limits package with unlimited mobile data and home broadband.

Whilst a 12-month contract applies for your BT Mobile No Limits SIM card, a longer 24-month contract applies to the broadband proportion of your service.

If you’re using BT’s No Limits SIM card, there are no fair usage limits for the unlimited data allowance. This is confirmed in BT’s help centre:

Is there a fair usage policy for BT Mobile?
There’s no fair usage policy. So when we say “unlimited”, it truly is unlimited.

The only exception to this is if you’re travelling abroad to another European country that’s part of BT’s Roam Like Home offer. Here, you’ll only be able to use 15GB of data at no extra cost when travelling in other countries.

EE

On EE, unlimited data is available from £34/month (or from £44/month if you’d like access to 5G).

The following table shows a list of unlimited data plans on EE. On the more expensive 4G Smart and 5G Smart plans, you’ll get inclusive Swappable Benefits (e.g. access to Amazon Prime Video, the BT Sport app or inclusive roaming in 5 countries outside Europe).

There are three key restrictions on EE’s unlimited data plans. Firstly, there’s a fair usage limit of 1,000GB per month, above which EE reserves the right to “move you to a business plan”. Secondly, tethering and personal hotspot usage is limited to a maximum of 12 devices. Thirdly, a data roaming limit of 15GB per month applies when you’re travelling abroad outside the UK.

giffgaff

giffgaff is a low-cost sub-brand of O2 offering 3G and 4G coverage from the O2 network. Unlimited downloads are available on giffgaff’s £25 goodybag which comes with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and Always-On data:

NetworkMinutesTextsDataMonthly
Cost
giffgaffUnlimitedUnlimitedAlways-On£25.00
1 month

With Always-On data, you’ll get 4G download speeds on the first 40GB of data usage each month. After this, your speeds will drop down to a maximum of 384kbps (approximately 0.4Mbit/s) between 8am and midnight each day. This may stop you from doing things like streaming music or video from the internet, but it shouldn’t prevent you from browsing the internet or using messaging services.

Because of the large speed reduction after the first 40GB of data usage each month, giffgaff’s Always-On data isn’t really suitable for very heavy data users. It’s a good option if you’re mainly looking for peace of mind about never running out of data, and is available on a one-month rolling basis with no credit check required.

Prior to the 3rd July 2019, only the first 20GB of data each month was at full-speed 4G.

O2

O2 offers unlimited data, or what they call “limitless data”, on a range of Pay Monthly handsets and SIM cards. You can get an unlimited data SIM card from £33/month but you’ll need to sign up for an 18-month contract to get the lowest available price:

There are several fair usage limits worth being aware before getting unlimited data from O2. The most important is the 650GB per month fair usage limit. In addition, the use of tethering and personal hotspot is limited to just 12 devices. If you exceed these limits twice in any six-month period, O2 says they might “transfer you to a more suitable plan”. When travelling outside the UK, it’s possible to use up to 20GB of data in O2 Travel Inclusive Zone countries.

For more information, please see our full review of O2’s unlimited data plans.

SMARTY

SMARTY is a low cost sub-brand of Three, offering SIM-only deals on a one-month rolling basis. For £20/month, SMARTY’s unlimited plan comes with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data.

According to SMARTY, tethering is included in the plan and there are no speed restrictions for using too much data. There is, however, a usage cap of 1,000GB per month. There’s also a fair usage limit of 20GB per month when you’re travelling in Europe:

Our Unlimited plan is the only 1-month tariff available that’s open to everyone and has no speed restrictions (unlike another plan out there). Tethering and personal hotspot use is also included as standard on the plan.

We have set a usage cap at 1,000GB. When tested, using a mobile for every minute of every day only used around 1,000GB in a month. Setting this cap helps us to identify any commercial use of our services, which is not permitted by our terms and conditions.

SMARTY offers 99% population coverage, using 3G and 4G coverage from Three.

Three

On Three, unlimited data with 4G download speeds is available on the flagship unlimited data plan (also known as all-you-can-eat data). Three’s unlimited data plans currently start from £18/month, though prices can vary based on the contract length you choose.

There are no fair usage limits for unlimited data usage in the UK. However, it’s important to know that commercial usage of the service is not permitted:

Use of our services for commercial, resale or fraudulent purposes isn’t allowed under our Terms for Three Services, so we do reserve the right to monitor any unusual activity that may indicate that this is happening to identify and prevent such non-permitted use.

There’s also a fair usage limit when you’re using your mobile phone abroad in a Go Roam country. This limit is currently 12GB if you’re travelling outside Europe and 19GB if you’re travelling inside of Europe (15GB if you’re on Pay As You Go).

The following table shows SIM-only plans with unlimited data from Three:

It’s also possible to buy a new smartphone with unlimited data on a 24-month contract. In addition, Three offers 4G-based home broadband with unlimited data.

Prior to September 2019, Three had a fair usage policy of 1,000GB per month (1TB) on unlimited data plans. Three have confirmed that this fair usage policy no longer applies.

Prior to October 2018, Three’s unlimited data plans also had a restriction on tethering. Whilst this restriction was in place, it was only possible to use up to 30GB of data through tethering each month. This restriction has now been removed for all new and existing customers as a result of Ofcom’s net neutrality rules.

Zero-Rated Data Plans

Zero-rated data plans give you unlimited data, but only for use on selected apps and services. This can make them a cheaper alternative to unlimited data plans:

EE Swappable Benefits

Customers choosing an EE Smart Pay Monthly plan will receive up to three “swappable benefits” included in their plan. Typically, there’s one swappable benefit included with 4G plans and either two or three swappable benefits included with 5G plans.

The following passes can be selected as a swappable benefit to give you unlimited zero-rated data on EE:

  • Video Data Pass: Unlimited data for use on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, MTV Play, TV Player and BT Sport.
  • Music Data Pass: Unlimited data for use on Apple Music, Deezer and Tidal.
  • Gamer’s Data Pass: Unlimited data for use on Pokémon Go, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, FIFA and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.

    Hi Ken, This is my first time of coming across your blog. It sounds great. I’m in the process of shopping around for more data as I need the extra for listening to my online trainings while working nights shifts. You’ve empowered me to make a better judgement. Thank you so sooo much. You are doing a fantastic job. Well done.

  • Dan said:

    Hi There,

    Just moved from city centre to outskirt. I was used to having Virgin Media fibre ~165Mbps. But now the BT open reach cabinet my home is connected to is full and there is no plan to roll out any improvements unfortunately. The ADSL alternative would give me up to 17Mbps.

    I work from home, as a web developer, so heavy data transfer / video conference, this is my prerogative.
    On a side note, I sometimes download games and use Netflix.

    So I cannot afford not having a fast connection.

    I bought a Huawei B535, put a SMARTY Unlimited Data sim, but speed reaches ~30 Mbps.
    Is there a way to improve my connection apart from buying the antenna you recommend (https://kenstechtips.com/index.php/mobile-broadband-antennas).

    I read on some ISP forum topics people can select the LTE band in there Huawei B525, but it seems impossible with the B535.

    Also, would I get any restrictions based on the Smarty T&Cs ? I read they have a fair use of 1000GB, and I am afraid I might easily reach it.

    Do you have any advices?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Dan,
      Thanks for your comment. It’s really difficult to say what would improve the download speeds you get – this really depends on whether the download speeds are being limited by the coverage you can get, or by the available capacity on your nearest mast. To start with, I’d recommend testing out different placements for your router (ideally near an upstairs window and facing in the direction of your nearest mobile mast). It may also be worth testing out some different mobile network SIM cards (in case other mobile networks will give you better coverage) or testing out an external antenna as you say.
      With regards to the fair usage limit on unlimited data SIM cards, SMARTY does indeed have a 1,000GB threshold which they use to flag up commercial usage of the service. There’s more information here on the fair usage policy on unlimited data SIM cards in the UK.
      Hope this helps,
      Ken
