Alternative broadband operator and ISP CommunityFibre, which have deployed their 5Gbps speed full fibre broadband (FTTP) network across 1.4 million UK homes (inc. 185k businesses within 200 metres of their network) in London and the South East, has today soft launched a £15 unlimited Mobile eSIM service for their existing customers.
The service, which has been developed in partnership with Gamma Communications and app developer Zappter, aims to go live in June 2026. The new mobile eSIM plans will offer unlimited UK data, calls and SMS for just £15/month for CommunityFibre broadband customers and £17/month for non-broadband customers. Existing broadband subscribers can also add additional Unlimited Mobile eSIMs, so family members can get the same offer.
The monthly renewing product provides customers with a flexible mobile option that can be activated directly on compatible smartphones and tablets via eSIM technology, without the need for a physical SIM card. The service is also said to fully support WiFi Hotspot and Tethering features.
The mobile offer also includes a travel eSIM that provides country-specific roaming bundles with set allowances. Customers will be able to “enjoy fast 5G speeds in the UK and add international connectivity when needed, without long-term contracts“, said the provider. Prepaid roaming data plans are available for more than 160 countries from as little as £2.29.
Graeme Oxby, Chief Executive Officer of Community Fibre, said:
“The mobile market has become increasingly expensive and complicated for consumers, despite the technology becoming simpler and more digital. With our growth in mobile, we’re taking a different approach — delivering fast, unlimited 5G connectivity at a highly competitive price, with the flexibility customers increasingly expect.
Because we build, own and operate our full fibre broadband network, we’ve created a model that allows us to offer better long-term value across both broadband and mobile. This launch is another step in delivering the highest-quality and most affordable services for our customers.”
Customers will be able to join the service via CommunityFibre’s mobile app – through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. CommunityFibre says the fact they own and operate their own full fibre network is what has enabled them to offer such competitive pricing on both broadband and mobile. But at the time of writing, we don’t yet know what mobile network they’ll be using for this.
