Broadband ISP Nufibre Launch eSIM Based Unlimited UK Mobile Plan
Internet provider Nufibre has become the latest company to launch an eSIM-only powered virtual mobile operator service with the launch of nuSim, which appears to be based around an unlimited data (mobile broadband), calls and texts plan that cost just £15 per month (including 20GB of roaming data when within the EU).
The underlying network being used for this stems from an agreement with VodafoneThree, which means that their 4G and 5G capable service will automatically connect to the strongest signal from either Vodafone or Three UK, wherever you are.
However, we did have to dig a bit deeper into the bottom of nuSim’s web page to discover that the plan price attracts a 24-month minimum contract, although on checkout you can choose a shorter 12-month or 30-day term at extra cost.

As for the unlimited data claim, the nuSim page states that your “data speed is uncapped” and “in-house tests have shown speeds up to nearly 1Gbps!“. Apparently a “*Fair usage policy applies” (FUP) to their unlimited claim, but at the time of writing we could only find their standard T&C’s and Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP).

This appears to be provided by ShakaTel (or something closely related). After looking through the API code, it seems heavily vibe-coded or at least AI-assisted, so I’d treat it with caution.
Love the fact that this joker is advertising 5gig on his van and states in his discord that he doesn’t promote anything they can’t supply. One day he will wake up from Dreamland.

It doesn’t. This isn’t how it’s working at all – some areas have MOCN activated, a lot of areas don’t, and the networks are still separate with different performance and signal. It’s not a fully merged network and won’t be for a while.
