BT launches UK's best value 4G mobile data deal as a reward for its BT broadband customers

BT today announced its move back into the consumer mobile market by launching great value deals offering bundles of 4G data, minutes and texts for as little as £5 a month for its existing BT Broadband homes.

The company today unveiled three bring your own phone (SIM Only) plans that offer:

An exceptional combination of 4G on the UK's biggest network along with unlimited access to the most extensive wi-fi coverage via more than 5 million BT Wi-fi hotspots

Free BT Sport on the BT Sport App

Family-friendly features like spending caps on all tariffs

BT Broadband customers will get exclusive access to the best value 4G tariffs, with discounts of up to 50 per cent compared to non-BT Broadband customers.

BT Mobile customers can also get free BT Sport via the BT Sport App, even if they don't have BT Broadband, and enjoy live and exclusive Barclays Premier League football matches.

The new 12-month contract deals are ideal for customers who might want to keep their existing phone but add a great value bundle of 4G data, minutes and texts. Customers can also use their own older 2G or 3G phones. Or they can buy a new 4G phone from the BT Shop from just £99.

Anyone in a BT Broadband household will be able to get the discounted price and a customer can have up to five mobile plans at the discounted rates for all of the family on a single bill.

The announcement is the first step in BT's consumer mobile strategy, which will develop over the coming years.

BT has agreed terms to acquire mobile operator EE for £12.5bn and will reveal more details after the deal completes about what customers will be offered.
