You might not have known it but on Plusnet Mobile, you weren't actually getting the full EE experience. They didn't have 5G, they were missing some 4G transmitters and they didn't have WiFi calling either.

To get all of those things with your next SIM only plan, on top of the network quality you're used to, we'd recommend having a look at 1pMobile here.

You get all those features with 1pMobile and they've got a great range of cheap, 1-month deals that give you see the same levels of flexibility you were getting with Plusnet. And it's easy to keep your number.

Enjoy 5G, full 4G and indoor-coverage boosting WiFi calling on all these plans:

If you're after quite a small amount of data, Talk Home Mobile can be very competitive too. They have 5G but miss the same 4G transmitters Plusnet do and also don't have WiFi calling. But are still an option:

There some other networks on EE but we think as a former Plusnet Mobile customer, you'll find them unnecessarily expensive compared to the other options above.

If you were a Plusnet Mobile customer before, we'd presume that you liked them for their short, flexible deals with low monthly costs.

If you're not fussed about being on the EE network any more, there is no shortage of choices of providers offering 1-month SIM only deals.

On the Vodafone network, there's Talkmobile, who basically permanently have a series of hidden 1-month SIM only deals here, with arguably cheaper prices than Plusnet Mobile.

On O2's network, we'd say your best alternative is probably with Virgin Mobile. Again, we have a constant range of excellent cheap 1-month deals with them here.

And then finally, on Three's network is a dog-fight between SMARTY (owned by Three) and iD Mobile (owned by Carphone Warehouse. We've put their 1-month plans under the dropdown here to help you compare.
