Lodestar Mobile network coverage is operational in small local pockets and grows around community-hosted cells. Public consumer ordering has not opened yet. Standalone SIP Voice and a public-IP L2TP service are both being prepared.
These are non-binding interest forms, not customer accounts or orders. Each form verifies your email address before recording your details.

Read coverage and plan details
The £5 figure is the total recurring consumer price. Unlimited applies only to data. Coverage is available only in small pockets close to a working Lodestar cell, not across a whole town or nationwide.
999 and 112: Lodestar's own network does not carry emergency calls. In our tests, every handset that supports Lodestar VoLTE leaves our network when either number is dialled and moves to another available UK mobile network. We activate cells only where site checks find usable coverage from at least one other network, but that safeguard cannot guarantee a connection.
Lodestar L2TP / Coming soon
The planned service reserves one public IPv4 to an account and carries its traffic through Lodestar. The intended tiers are 500/500 at £3 a month and 1000/1000 at £4 a month. They are planned without a data allowance or usage-based throttle, subject to final customer terms and shared capacity.
Plain L2TP is not encrypted. L2TP/IPsec and IKEv2 add protection, but NAT, MTU, router CPU, cipher support and access-network filtering can limit compatibility and speed.

Low-band spectrum could help local cells reach further, while carefully shared core functions could reduce duplication. Both ideas are proposals and both need substantial work.
Community coverage
National networks build for the average. Lodestar is being built one useful location at a time.
Compact local cells can bring Lodestar coverage to a home, workspace or community site. Each location needs suitable connectivity, a compatible radio and a careful technical check before it can join the network.
We are always looking for potential femtocell hosts. Every proposed site needs a technical and coverage assessment, and registering interest does not guarantee installation or service.

The network underneath
Compact local cells connect through protected backhaul to our operational London core, where mobile data, VoLTE and SMS are working. Lodestar Voice is separate: an over-the-top SIP service delivered through each customer's own internet connection.
We are deploying another mobile data plane in the West Midlands to reduce latency and improve resilience. Coverage remains local and can change as cells and backhaul change.
Community small cells provide coverage in a defined local area.
Each approved site reaches the network through protected backhaul.
Our core authenticates subscribers and carries data, ordinary calls and messages. It does not carry 999 or 112 calls.
Live service health is published on the network dashboard.
Before Lodestar Voice launches
Voice depends on your electricity, internet connection, router and phone equipment. If any required part stops working, calls will stop too, including calls to 999 and 112.
Lodestar Voice is a standalone over-the-top SIP service. It does not include a UPS, battery, backup internet, mobile fallback or another emergency-calling route. You must keep your own independent way to call emergency services.

A public product page does not mean that ordering is open. The status here is the current position.
Interest registration
Each separate form verifies your email, then records your name and postal address so Lodestar can contact you about that product. It does not create a customer account or place an order. Customer account access remains offline.
Available in small pockets
Service is available close to live cells in Nuneaton, Kings Norton, Burntwood and Great Gransden. Public eSIM ordering is coming soon.
In build
Planned service details are published for scrutiny. Ordering remains closed.
