Crowdfunded mobile network operator Honest Mobile, which harnesses Three UK’s network via a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) agreement, has today announced the launch of a new ‘Family Plan’ that is “designed to make managing multiple SIMs easier, saving 20% compared to standard individual plans“.
The new plan, which is available to families or groups of up to 10, can also be combined with Honest Mobile’s loyalty discount for further savings (i.e. rewarding customers by reducing bills every month, up to 30%). This comes in addition to an app that makes it easy to manage your family’s SIMs in a single account and bill.
Just to be clear, the loyalty discount means that bills for existing customers drop by 0.41% every month you stay with Honest Mobile, which rises up to 30%.
For a 30-day rolling plan you will get:
➤ Unlimited data, UK messages and minutes: A family of four will pay £80/month, dropping to £70 with the loyalty scheme after two years
➤ 10GB data, unlimited UK messages and minutes: Drops from £56 to £49
➤ 4GB data, unlimited UK messages and minutes: Drops from £43.20 to £37.80
Andy Aitken, co-founder and CEO of Honest, said:
“Broadband and mobile network providers have set the bar shockingly low. Even though Ofcom is stepping in to curb price hikes next year, major networks still have loopholes to get around these measures. People across the UK are fed up, with Honest research revealing top complaints as poor signal strength or coverage (37%), mid-contract price hikes (31%), and a lack of rewards programs (24%).
At Honest, we believe telecoms can—and should—do better, especially when families are already grappling with rising bills. Our Family Plan cuts out unexpected costs and confusing contracts, helping families save money and spend less time dealing with telecom issues, and more time with one another.”
