BT Wholesale Brings EE’s UK Mobile Connectivity to Wholesale
The wholesale division of ISP BT (BT Wholesale), which sells broadband and other services to a large number of UK providers, has announced that they’re going to make EE’s connectivity available to enterprises and resellers on a direct, wholesale basis for the first time, through their mobile SIMs.
Due to be officially launched in “early 2023” on the completion of some initial trials and available exclusively to resellers nationwide that are members of Partner Plus (BTW’s partner programme), partners through this scheme will, for the first time, be able to sell EE mobile SIMs (both 4G and 5G connectivity).
The change should complement BTW’s existing portfolio, meaning resellers can provide customers with ‘Complete Convergence’ so they can grow through mobile and fixed line propositions. BTW’s fixed solutions and services are supported by the Openreach network.

Gavin Jones, Channel Partners Director at BTW, said:
“Partnering with BT Wholesale means always having us in your corner to support you no matter what; providing the best solutions, the widest portfolio, 24/7 expert support and full transparency. We are constantly striving to make ourselves easier to do business with, and critical to that is ensuring we are delivering what partners want. For many, that was EE mobile. Enabling resellers to sell EE mobile SIMs is the latest proof point demonstrating our commitment to helping our partners thrive.
We are seeing a clear shift in businesses moving away from legacy voice services and we’re providing partners with Complete Convergence across fibre, cloud voice and mobile. The EE mobile SIM is another way to deliver unparalleled access however partners need it. Ultimately, this backs resellers to maximise relationships as customers take more control of their digital destiny.”
This is not to be confused with Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) partnerships, which are much deeper branded arrangements that give virtual operators more control over the product, service and branding etc.

BTw are private sole only. Not for residential customers as they don’t sold any products to customers!
Your point being?
That is what wholesaling means. Producers sell to wholesalers who sell to retailers who sell to end customers.
No – there is no point to his being :/
You’re hardly a big contributor to the human race yourself, Coventry.
The guy has medically diagnosed debilitating mental health issues. What’s your excuse?
When you’re making snide comments about the unwell it’s a good time to take a look at yourself.
Not the same Phil as first comment.
I tried to join BT Wholesale as a reseller for broadband, gave all my company details and never got a response back, went elsewhere in the end.
Hi Phil,
Sorry to hear that, i would be happy to assist you with this if there is still an opportunity?
Swear there’s too many Philips in the world!
@Philip Brown – Think it’s a bit late to help him considering he’s went elsewhere.
@Philip Green – I imagine he could still strike a deal with BTW once his contract expires with the other company.
@Philip Grey
Depending on circumstances he could possibly sign an agreement with several wholesale networks at the same time. The big ones don’t really care that much
