Budget Energie vs US Mobile

Budget Energie

Who it suits

• Households that want power and gas under a single contract instead of juggling separate suppliers.
• Households that want a spread of tariff types, since Budget Energie lists fixed, variable and dynamic.
• People who prefer a phone line and chat to a single contact route, and who want dynamic and green options rather than the fixed, time of use and ev list at Endesa.

Who should look elsewhere

• Electricity Ratings, if you need an electric vehicle or prepay tariff, since fixed, ev and time of use runs wider than fixed, variable and dynamic.
• Endesa, if you only want fixed, time-of-use or electric vehicle pricing, because Endesa lists fixed, time of use and ev.

US Mobile

Who it suits

• Households in the US that want a prepaid line with rollover, so unused data carries over rather than disappearing.
• Travellers from a US base who want roaming included across 180 countries without a separate roaming plan.
• People comfortable running on a host network and managing their own plan, since the seller type is mvno.

Who should look elsewhere

• Readers who want to buy from a network operator rather than a host network, since GETESA at network, Lonestar Cell MTN at network and yesss! at network all sit on the network side.
• Shoppers buying several lines and expecting a multi line discount, because none is offered here.
• Anyone living outside the US, since the plan market is US.
