26p-a-day phone switch saving Welsh households hundreds

Mobile network spusu has frozen its prices for the third consecutive year, meaning customers will not see bill increases until at least 2027. The European provider's move contrasts with expected April price hikes from major networks like EE, Vodafone and Sky Mobile, potentially saving Welsh households hundreds of pounds annually.

Price freeze and coverage details

Spusu locks rates so the price at sign-up remains the price paid, undercutting rivals that typically raise monthly contract costs each April. The network runs on EE's infrastructure, giving customers access to 2G, 4G and 5G coverage across Wales, which EE says reaches 99% of the UK population, from Cardiff and Swansea to rural towns like Llandudno.

All spusu SIMs operate on flexible 30-day rolling contracts with no lengthy commitment. Plans start at £4.90 per month for 5GB, while a special deal running until October 29 offers 20GB plus unlimited UK minutes and texts for £7.90 monthly, roughly 26p per day. The 80GB option costs £12.90.

Roaming and comparisons

The 20GB plan includes 8GB and 500 minutes for EU roaming. By contrast, Sky Mobile's SIMs start at £1 for 1GB on a 12-month contract, rising to £5 after six months, with roaming in about 120 locations at an extra £2 per day. Giffgaff offers flexible 30-day SIMs from £6 for 2GB up to £35 for unlimited data.

Shoppers willing to commit to 18-month contracts can find cheaper deals elsewhere, including 40GB for £8 or 80GB for £10. Customer reviews on Trustpilot highlight spusu's lower prices and coverage compared with rivals.
