Mobile Sense is the brand new mobile phone service from BT, powered by the O2 network. There are no set packages that you have to take, unlike other service providers. You decide exactly the combinations of calls **(to landlines **, mobiles and texts)that you want. When you want to change your own unique tariff, you can - as often as every month. And you manage it all via your own online account.
