Spusu SIM Only Deals

About spusu

spusu is an Austrian-owned MVNO on EE's 4G and 5G network, so it carries the same coverage as EE itself. The range is deliberately simple: one-month rolling plans with no credit check, no annual price rises, and EU roaming as standard, priced from £2.90 a month for 1GB up to £12.90 for 60GB. It is one of seven MVNOs on EE's network, which we line up in our guide to which networks use EE.

Best for

• EE coverage at a lower cost than EE direct
• Regular EU travellers who want roaming built in
• Anyone who wants a no-commitment one-month plan
• Building or rebuilding credit (no credit check)

Skip if

• You want bundled entertainment or loyalty perks
• You need guaranteed peak-time priority in busy areas
• You want the lowest price per GB at high tiers (see Three MVNOs below)

Which spusu deal should you pick?

The £4.50 plan with 5GB and unlimited calls and texts is the one most people should start with. It is the cheapest plan with unlimited minutes and texts, and 5GB is enough for everyday use if you are mostly on Wi-Fi. The £2.90 and £3.90 plans cap calls and texts at 500 each, so they only make sense for very light use or a backup SIM. If you get through more data, the £7.90 30GB plan is the sweet spot before pricing jumps. Keeping your number is simple: our spusu number transfer guide explains the PAC code process.

Do you need a credit check?

No. spusu does not run a credit check on any plan, so there is no hard search on your credit file at sign-up. That makes it a practical option if you are building or rebuilding credit, are new to the UK, or simply prefer not to have a search recorded. See how it compares on our no credit check SIM only deals page.

Can you get an eSIM?

Yes. Every spusu plan is available as a physical SIM or an eSIM, so you can pick whichever suits your phone when you order. An eSIM can be activated the same day, with no waiting for anything to arrive in the post, which is the quickest way to switch. Compare the wider market on our eSIM only deals page, and check your handset supports eSIM first.

Is 5G included?

Yes. Every spusu plan includes 5G access at no extra cost. Real-world speeds still depend on your handset, your location, and how busy the local mast is, so 5G is not guaranteed everywhere, but it is built into the plan rather than sold as an add-on.

How is spusu's coverage?

Because spusu uses EE's network, its coverage maps onto EE's footprint, among the widest of the four UK host networks. You can check your postcode on spusu's coverage checker before committing. As an MVNO, spusu shares EE's infrastructure but is not always given the same network priority as EE's direct customers, so in very congested spots at peak times you may notice speeds dip slightly against a direct EE plan.

How good is spusu for roaming?

Roaming is one of spusu's strongest features. When you travel in the EU, you use a capped share of your UK data, which varies by plan and currently runs from around 3GB on the smallest plans up to 20GB on the larger ones, alongside 500 minutes and 500 texts in many EU destinations. That is unusual at this price, where plenty of budget MVNOs either charge for roaming or hold it back for higher tiers. Beyond the EU, spusu offers reduced pay-as-you-go rates across more than 100 countries. Fair-use limits and the list of included destinations do change, so check before you travel: our spusu roaming guide sets out the current per-plan allowances, the countries covered, and what happens if you go over the limit.

spusu vs other budget networks

At £2.90 for 1GB or £5.90 for 10GB, spusu is among the cheapest EE-network options right now. Its closest rivals on EE are 1pMobile and Lycamobile, though neither matches spusu's mix of low pricing, included EU roaming, and no-credit-check access across the full range. If EE coverage is not essential and you want the most data for the least money, compare Smarty and iD Mobile on Three's network. spusu's lack of annual price rises is a real plus, since many networks raise prices mid-contract each year, as we explain in our mid-contract price rises guide.

How we rank spusu SIM-only deals

By default, deals are sorted by lowest monthly price. You can change the sort order at any time using the controls above the listings and filter by data allowance, contract length, minutes, and eSIM availability. All deals shown are updated automatically. SIM Only Finder is an Ofcom-accredited UK mobile comparison site and earns a commission on deals taken out via our links. This does not affect how deals are ranked.
