The idea for Honest Mobile was born one night over a pint at the pub between Andy Aitken, CEO and co-founder of Honest, and his school friend Josh.
They'd both had their fair share of business adventures, and were fed up with the big networks – unpredictable price hikes, poor service, not enough sustainability action.
There had to be a better way.
An industry-first eSIM that works alongside your main SIM, automatically kicking in when you're out of signal, eliminating signal dead zones and tackling high roaming costs with 200+ essential apps with unlimited data in 180+ countries.
Well, that's a start!
Since launching, Honest Mobile have seen customer count growing over 100% in Q4 2024 alone.

Paul Pogba hammers Manchester United over Marcus Rashford exit call
Barcelona are looking to imminently confirm the arrival of Marcus Rashford after clinching a loan agreement with Manchester United. As the saga continues to roll on in the UK and Spain the latest update indicates Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Rashford from United, with the 27-year-old attacker landing in Catalonia as part of a season-long loan with an option to buy, believed to be in the region of €30-35m. Barcelona increased their focus on bringing in Rashford in the last week following a mixed summer in the the transfer market. Rashford will act as cover for Raphinha on the left of Barcelona's attack, after the club had previously chased deals for Nico Williams and Luis Diaz. He is expected to fly into Catalonia and complete his medical before signing all appropriate documents over the coming days to seal the finalities of the switch. Hansi Flick is hopeful he can include Rashford in his squad for their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea but that remains uncertain at this stage. Image via Alex Livesey / Getty Images Despite their ongoing financial issues, Barcelona are willing to bankroll a move for Rashford, and reports from The Times claim they will cover his full £325,000 a week wages as part of the loan. A move away from Manchester has looked certain since the start of the summer but former United teammate Paul Pogba has waded in to support Rashford. Pogba has recently returned to football following a ban, joining AS Monaco, and the Frenchman believes the Red Devils treatment of Rashford has been unfair throughout. 'This is a crazy situation. But, I'm happy for him because they took away his number in Manchester,' he said. 'Manchester United are losing a great player. Unlucky for them. 'It's great for Barcelona to be honest. I'm not even talking about United, because they've bought a few new players and the new manager wants to do his thing I guess. '

Royal Employees Discuss Dealing With King Charles's "Demands," as Well as "Poor Conditions" and "Low" Pay at Highgrove
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. King Charles is known for his love of gardening, which reportedly includes keeping a pristine garden at his private home, Highgrove House. However, the monarch has been hit by allegations from royal gardeners who claim the working conditions at Highgrove are inadequate. The King's treatment of his staff has also been called into question by a new report in The Times. An article titled "King Charles, the disquiet at Highgrove and the gardeners' exodus" in The Times explores claims made by former royal employees. According to the outlet, King Charles "has remained involved on the most minute level, supervising everything from the size of peaches to the shade of roses." The monarch apparently makes his opinions known to staff by "sending notes in thick red ink," with his memos described by the outlet as "strikingly specific," "emotional," and "demanding." According to The Times, King Charles allegedly uses his memos to share his "almighty disappointment" if anything in the garden is amiss. He has also been known for "correcting grammar," the publication noted. And, that's not all. King Charles's influence at Highgrove is so dramatic that, per The Times, he "has lost 11 of 12 garden staff since 2022 including two head gardeners who quit within a year." Of the employees who have left the monarch's employment, one reportedly "failed his probation after revealing a lack of knowledge about a particular flower, instantly losing Charles's trust." The King allegedly said of the employee, "Don't put that man in front of me again." Meanwhile, a manager apparently communicates King Charles's requests to his employees, some of whom "have complained of poor conditions, including pay as low as minimum wage," via The Times. One employee also alleged that "staff had developed physical injuries trying to keep up, and that the team suffered from low morale." An investigation by The King's Foundation confirmed that "poor" management and low pay contributed to staff shortages at Highgrove. However, according to The Times, despite any frustrations that may exist, "The King remains as committed to his estate as ever." Solve the daily Crossword
