We dig through Three, O2, EE, Tesco Mobile, Vodafone, Sky Mobile, and iD Mobile, and write up what we find in plain English — no prices, no sponsored placements, no favourites.
Why "independent" actually matters here: none of the seven networks below pay us, edit us, or get extra space because of it. We built this site by reading the same public test data and policy pages you could read yourself — we've just put it in one place and written it up plainly.
Every page below gets the same kind of treatment — plans, coverage, roaming, and a way to reach us.
27 million customers, and the widest worldwide roaming of the seven via Go Roam.

All seven, in one table, no winner picked for you.
SIM only, pay monthly, PAYG — what each one really commits you to.
What independent testers actually measured, network by network.
Where each network's allowance actually reaches, and where it stops.
PAC codes, STAC codes, and the order to do things in.
Which phones support it and how to get it running.
Your rights around price rises, contracts, and complaints.
