Not tied to one network
BT Mobile is an EE MVNO — every BT SIM uses the EE network and only the EE network. Fuse uses all four UK networks through a single eSIM, automatically switching to the strongest signal.
BT Mobile is the EE-powered SIM service from BT. It's reliable where EE is strong, but you're locked to one network and BT loves to bundle mobile with broadband. Fuse gives you all four UK networks, no contracts, and no upsell.
