Good question. That depends on whether you're asking about our Classic SIM or our Smart SIM.

Here's all you need to know.

Classic SIM

Our Classic SIMs use Three’s network, piggybacking on their masts to give you the UK’s fastest 5G. (Unlike other MVNOs, we’re not owned by Three or any big network.)

Why Three?

We choose Three because their 5G is the fastest, as confirmed by Ookla. They have access to more 5G radio waves than any other network in the UK.

So with Honest, you get ultra-fast downloads, speedy streaming and rapid page load times. 100x faster than 4G 💁

Why don’t you have your own masts?

We’d rather invest in giving you the best mobile experience, than dig up more land to build expensive masts.

Only the big 4 mobile networks own masts in the UK: that’s Three, EE, O2 and Vodafone. All the other networks are piggybacking on them.

Smart SIM

As much as we're fans of our Classic SIMs, no one network has 100% coverage 100% of the time.

That's why we developed Smart SIM, letting you access 500+ apps on EE, O2, Three & Vodafone and in 180+ countries worldwide for just £10/month.

That's £10/month for boosted UK signal and free global roaming. Not bad, if you ask us 😎
