A lesser-known mobile network, Spusu, is taking on major brands like Sky and giffgaff with its budget-friendly £5 phone plan. The Austrian-based company, which expanded to the UK in 2023, offers SIM-only plans starting at £4.90 per month for 5GB of data.
Spusu's plans come with no long-term commitment, operating on flexible 30-day rolling contracts. The network also runs a limited-time deal on its 50GB SIM, reduced to £11.90 until October 16. All plans include unlimited UK minutes and texts, free EU roaming, and international calls to the EU, with eSIM, 5G, WiFi Calling, and VoLTE included at no extra cost.
Powered by EE's network, Spusu promises reliable coverage without speed caps. However, customers are advised to check device compatibility and coverage before signing up. The brand has garnered positive reviews on Trustpilot, with users praising smooth switching, customer service, and value for money.
In comparison, Sky offers a 60GB SIM-only for £14 on a 12-month contract, while giffgaff's unlimited everything SIM is available for £15 over 18 months. Spusu's flexible, no-commitment approach and low entry price position it as a strong competitor in the UK mobile market.
