BT Mobile was a mobile virtual network operator provided by BT Consumer, a division of BT Group in the United Kingdom. It launched in March 2015 as a SIM-only service. BT Mobile used the EE network through an MVNO agreement and also used spectrum BT won in a 2013 4G auction. EE later became part of BT after the acquisition completed in January 2016. BT Mobile operated alongside BT Business Mobile, which was provided by BT Business and Public Sector. The service stopped accepting new customers in October 2023 as BT Group planned to make EE the main brand of its consumer business. BT Mobile is listed as a virtual carrier in the United Kingdom, with BT Group as its owner. Its official website is bt.com/mobile.
