Don't really think much of their launch price plans...early days though I suppose.

i have an iphone 5 which is on the o2 network at present. i get 3g data on o2 (and am apparently unable to get 4g on o2) but have read that EE customers are able to get 4g on the iphone 5.

would i be able to use my handset on BT (ie do i need to unlock it somehow) and would it be able to receive a 4g signal (i am guessing they are utilising the EE infrastructure) ?

thanks for any help

The iphone 5 only works (in the UK) on EE's implementation of 4G. So if BT Mobile uses the EE network (which is almost certain) then you should be able to get 4G from them.

Inclusive Voicemail plus 0800 freephone inclusive,which could prove handy for cheaper calls.

0800, 0808 and 116 will become free from mobiles for everyone in the summer, so BT isn't offering anything special in that respect. Pay monthly customers usually only have to pay for voicemail once they've used up their monthly allowance so it isn't a huge gamechanger for those who avoid going over their allowance or are on unlimited minutes plans.

Comparison on SIM only deal;

Interested in sim only deals for September when my EE contract runs out. I think it might be a good shout to try BT, and particularly with this BT Sports app thing, do you get all of BT Sports? If so, that could really sway me towards them. Particularly as its on EE network anyway, and they will eventually buy out EE.

edit: had a quick look. Liking the look of the £25 per month deal with BT. 20GB(!) of 4g data, and unlimited everything. I can quite easily use 2GB of data (the lower plan) and 20GB I'd never have to worry about going over at all, which I currently sometimes do on my EE @ 1.5GB data.

I've got Plusnet b/band so does anyone please know whether I can get the £5 deal ? especially as BT own Plusnet.

Thanks.

I would suspect not, as they are separate trading entities. The clue will be that you probably don't get free BT Sport at the moment with Plusnet, whereas BT broadband customers do.

They are because they are offering it now as opposed to the likes of Voda and 02 who will no doubt charge to the last minute.

The rumour is home hub 6 will send out a 4g signal for their mobile network

It makes absolutely no sense to give any consideration to it when it will cease to be a BT-specific benefit less than three months into a twelve month contract, especially when there are work arounds like 0800 Buster that you can use if you're on other networks. There are lots of legitimate benefits that BT is offering, but free 0800 numbers simply isn't one of them.
