BT’s 5G plans are now open to all and come with data boosts and unlimited data
There are four 5G plans available with data allowances ranging from 6GB to unlimited
After BT brought its 5G plans to Halo customers last November, the service is now live for all customers in 50 locations across the UK.
There are four 5G plans available, with data allowances ranging from 6GB to unlimited, and contracts start at £45 per month on either the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G.
The locations include London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, Sunderland, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Bristol and Wakefield and Wolverhampton.
To give a flavour of what these 5G plans include, a 256GB Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is available for £60 a month on a 24-month contract with a £30 upfront fee. This will give you 6GB data and free BT Sport on your phone. For £67 a month, this data rises to 45GB, £73 gets you 90GB and The Massive Data Plan is £81 a month for 100GB of data.
Existing BT Halo customers can additionally get double data on all plans, with the 100GB option boosted to unlimited as part of the ‘no limits’ plan.

The BT Halo plan (not to be confused with its BT Halo call-blocking landline phone) is described by the company as the UK’s “best converged plan” because it bundles ultrafast broadband with unlimited data and 5G on a mobile, and in-home support via BT’s new Home Tech Experts.
In the home, this package comes with BT’s Complete Wi-Fi and Keep Connected promise, which guarantee the fastest Wi-Fi speeds anywhere in your home, at all times, via the use of 4G hubs and its broadband is supplied via the latest BT Smart Hub 2 router.
