The HMD MVNO is offering unlimited calls to EU mobiles and landlines, when in the UK and roaming in the EU. This is a unique selling proposition, and no other UK network or MVNO currently offers this.

A lot of them are not working out at the moment. I work for a UK carrier and that amount of people leaving the likes of Giffgaff and smarty because of the poor to nonexistent customer service is unreal.

36 hours together with the case, otherwise only 6 hours, in other words - nothing special and nowhere near the Galaxy Buds Live with 11 hours!

Article's quote, "It is an MVNO, a “mobile virtual network operator”, meaning that your phone will actually connect to cells of another carrier. In this case, the service launches in the UK in a partnership with Britain’s leading 5G carrier (presumably, this means EE)."
Whilst the leading cellular carrier in the UK is EE, the leading carrier of 5G by spectrum is actually not EE, but rather 3.
CNBC reports that HMD will have bundles starting from £6.50 ($9) per month, and it is unlikely it will launch with 5G right off the bat.
IMHO, the UK MVNO is a crowded arena, and with profit margins thinning over the past decade, HMD is unlikely to make this venture profitable. A bad move that shall result in HMD pulling out in a couple of years.
