Good deal, but I wish EE would stop offering these short term deals and instead concentrate on offering these as longer term deals in a bid to attract and keep customers longer term. Come on EE reward your pay monthly customers with some of these deals please. Heat added OP.

Not a deal, but a punishment!

Vee, chuck it in a cheap 4G handset with Wifi N / AC and stuff it up / tape it to a
pole at higher than roof height, so you can get a clearer line of sight from the
MBNL masts that EE are now using ;-)

With the overheads on the push from the closest mast, you will get much higher speeds
the higher you can get it.. if you can stump it the cash up, get a 5v 1.5a solar charger OR
wire it up to a garage socket with one of the CPC / Maplin really, really long power wires
[simple snip and replace] for where ever you put it [see my TP-link stuff it up a pole threads]
and then you do not have to worry about "charging it" every 2 days!

This is a brilliant deal for caravans, boats, spaceships and all the other places you would not
waste money on, at the stupid normal per GB data costs at EE ;-)

After the 2 months, you should have downloaded way more than enough with the 201GB
to last you through to the next time EE run this PR stunt..

Enjoy ;-)

Hence the phrase " You're having a GiffGaff"

Same offer was around at Christmas. Good deal

Excellent find!!

christmas offer was little bit better, because not was the £10 topup, but this is a very good deal

Can you put this sim in Mifi device?

Thanks will do for my next trip in June.

I got a load of those sims, only used one. Are they duds now? Can I not get the data on them?

From the T&C's page

'The 100GB will then refresh at the end of the 30 days, giving you a second month to enjoy the data.'

So to reconfirm, one should get 201Gb in total lasting 60 days.

You have to use the 1gb up before the 100gb shows on your account.

Also worth mentioning if you order before 31st May you get entry into their competition to win some Glasto tickets. If you were to buy this much data through 3's 321 offer it'd cost you over £2k - hot from me!

what happens after 2 months? what's the cost then?

Not a deal, but a punishment!

Text 100GB to 150 to activate the data once topped up

Cheers

Quality heads up thread ;-)

Perfect for use with another HUKD thread on the New Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE Dual Sim:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/nokia-lumia-640-lte-dual-sim-mobicity-2208968?p=25141965

*****

1: Cannot be used in a Mifi / Tablet as it is a Phone Rec EE sim, not a data sim
2: If you do try it in a Mifi / Tablet and get away with it, EE have the right to charge you for the data used
as a data sim at £XXX per GB
3: Hurry, as these will be limited to X qty and with all the torrent leechers / movie downloaders out there.. used up very quickly!

*****

201GB for a Tenner.. Priceless!

If only EE would realize, this is where data needs to be priced on 4G, so everyone rushes into the stores and buys the EE Harrier [Ben-Q] 4G handset at a ton.. but no, they will carry on selling pay-as-you-go Lumia 640's at £150 which is stupid money..

not a fair comparison as the 123 tariff is all PAYG if you did the same with EE im sure it would also be very expensive thats why with three just buy £15 bundle to get all you can eat data

Perfect, moving house at the end of June and will be without Broadband for a week!

wow. This is awesome. hot for me

Pay for the top-up in store with cash?

Where is the harrier smartphone at £100 I don't see it listed.

Where does it say you can or can't tether?

Gosh I don't even use 100GB at home on a real PC in a month even when I'm really trying!

There's nowt in the Ts&Cs about not using it with a mifi, I'm gonna give it a go...

Good deal, but I wish EE would stop offering these short term deals and instead concentrate on offering these as longer term deals in a bid to attract and keep customers longer term. Come on EE reward your pay monthly customers with some of these deals please. Heat added OP.

Feel free.. it is not a Rec Data sim.. it is a Rec Phone sim.. just buy a crappy EE Harrier for £100, topping up the sim they send you for the 100GB deal and tether of the phone and / or any other 4G phone..

If they see you tethering on the sim via a Mifi / Tablet or any other non-rec phone device they will just cut it off, bill you for data use at data rates and as seen in the past, simply blacklist your EE account to stop you doing it again..

Worth all the bother? Nope, worth using any 4G cheapo handset stuffed up in the Loft as a "hotspot" which is allowed.. Oh YES! :smile:

I'm a high data user and was looking for something to replace my Oneplan on 3. This looks just the ticket.

Just to clarify, if I top up the £10 every month, this carries on indefinitely?

Can anyone tell me how would I get more minutes and text? Can I top up more then £10 to get more minutes?

In terms and conditions it says the SIM comes pre-loaded with £10 data pack and as soon as you top up £10 your pack will starts. However if I want to use the sim as my main phone I would need more minutes.

Any clue anyone has for this please?

Wow, no brainer. I will use until the promotion ends then switch again.

Each to their own. I'm looking for speed than capacity as I have tested the last "Phil & Dan" deal & EE came out on top for speed in my area. Lets just say that I couldn't use up all the 200GB per "Phil & Dan" SIM myself + I had several to give away to friends who were more than happy for speed boost. It was far faster than what they got from the likes of Vodafone, O2, etc + they came back saying they couldn't use up all the data but they were impressed by the sheer speed it downloads.

Btw, this was still far faster than what I get from landline based ADSL upto 24MB as I only get around 16/17MB at best where I live. Hell, even this beats BT Infinity upto 40MB (can't get 80MB) speeds in my area after speed tests. Only closer contender would be VM Fibre upto 50MB.

Anything above that then we're talking EEE speeds. :confused:

Either way, I will be porting over just to take advantage of this extra speed. It works for my needs.

Are you one of those greedy leecher folks who constantly downloads doggy porn 24/7 on Three network stealing all the bandwidth clogging up everyone on the same network? :laughing:

Comment

Thanks for your reply. I know I can always buy add ons but I'm wonder if I can buy the Everything pack for £15 instead of the data pack for £10 and get the 100 GB of free data?

Thanks. My search goes on and on.....

No

Giffgaff unlimited data for £18/mth?

Comment

I know I can always buy add-ons but I'm wonder if I can buy the Everything pack for £15 which gives me 500 minute and 2 GB of data instead of the £10 data pack and still get the 100 GB of free data?

16+ / UK residents only . You'll receive your free SIM in 2 to 3 working days, along with instructions on how to get started. By signing up for a SIM you accept EE's terms of service and privacy policy. The SIM card we'll send you will be a Multi SIM, which holds all three SIM card formats (standard, micro and nano) in one.

Well it's a special offer deal - so I would have thought with 95% certainty that the answer is no

What if you go over ?

:wink:

Got 1 of my old tmobile sim with no credit, it did said message not recognised but iam able to use internet, tested so far 600 mb and still working..

They had to be activated before Xmas 2014, and then you got two months of data, I suspect they will no longer work but no harm in trying I guess.

OK, you will be charged at standard EE PAYG rates. :laughing:

Excuse my civility, but doesn't it only say 100gb valid for 30 days (?)

My Kellogg's Sainsbury's bundle runs out on 15th June, perfect! Thanks OP!

(With any luck, they may even give a third month for free, as they did with my Dan & Phil SIM :smiley: )

Great idea 008. Now to find some cheap turquoise/yellow colour sandwich boxes + some flyers "FREE TINTERNET". Wonder how long before local folks have clocked on. :smile:

A couple of things, although they can cancel it and cancel your account (as explained in the T&Cs: "We can withdraw, suspend, extend or change the offer at any time without notice.") they can't force you to pay for data just for using it in a tablet or mifi.

The T&Cs say nothing about Tablets/mifis, and as it is a pay-as-you-go sim, there's no way they can automatically get your money anyway. That would be an easy one to take to small claims court.

Anyone know if the old Dan n Phil sims will work now? I have a couple still in their envelopes :smiley:

Is there a way to pay extra and use it abroad?

Great I can download loads of shows on iPlayer when out and about...

Oh, no I can't, has to be done on WiFi, communists !

Hahahahahahahaha.... You cant call that "Data", or unlimited for that matter. lol. GG seem to fail when it comes to the trade descriptions act.

Can this data be used abroad??

I'm with you. I can use 10GB a day if I try hard.

will this allow porting my number to ee? also after the 2 months will i loose my credit? thanks

I wished to do away with C%*&^ landline and put 4G as standard ...why the delay :disappointed:

Giff Gaff are terrible now, I used them for 3 years until the speed dropped down to under 1 meg.

At 12 quid it was acceptable at 20 its a joke switched to three in the end and its decent for 15 a month.

However will defo be trying this deal out for 2 months then switch back!

Thanks op

It's actually £20 if you're going to be a new EE customer

£10 top up plus £10 data pack. I suppose it's worth it if you're already on EE.

That was without a data pack add on so if someone has that add on they could try

To get the limited edition SIM you need to apply before 31st May 2015 and then top up with £10 within 14 days of getting the SIM and buy the £10 data pack.

Just to add that it might be a good idea to get one (if you don't have EE sim already) as should be valid to use if, for example, CPW do a decent "upgrade" on sim free phones (for example, I got a Moto E 2015 for £69 with my precious deal sim)... They do sometimes have some very nice deals.

PS, I still ain't seeing the "200gb over two months" as stated in OP, only 100gb for 30 days... (After 1gb used)... Am I missing something ? (Don't be rude).

Hi, Sorry guys I'm abit confused I understand topping up £10 will give you 100GB of data (plus 1GB) to use in two months, but where does the other 100GB come from to make the total 201GB over two months?

Ah, okay, thanks (doesn't state it very clearly, to me, on the EE page, but seems legit).

As per the above post: how clear do you want it?

Haha, thanks, I get it now (didn't see that banner before).

Your kindness will return to you one hundred times.

What do I get for my £10 per month when this runs out?

Yup,, got it now, thank you for your kindness.

What is the standard EE rip off? I can't find the payg allowances on their site.

As per first paragraph of T&Cs on post #84

it's £10/month for 1GB

Nah I left three 8 months ago, my usage was below 2gb a month, maybe the porn streaming is done by you hence you need 200gb a month?

What is the link to check allowance without login

Still kind of sucks for those of us pay monthly customers have been with EE since the early day's of Orange that still get shafted for data...

PAYG customers can get 201GB in 2 months for a tenner, it would take me nearly 10 years, 5 contracts and cost a few grand to get that much... FML.

couldn't find the page navigating via TCP to see if cash back would track. TCB have about £5 for PAYG sims.

thanks buddy, for me it shows 0mb but used 1 GB so far.. no credit nothing

To make it slightly easier for you to vote people, this might not be the deal the OP quite makes out...

If I'm reading it correctly, it states "we'll give you 100GB of 4GEE data to use in your first 2 months"

100GB FOR 2 months as opposed to 100GB per month for 2 months...

To be fair, 50GB a month is still better than I'm getting dammit...

Off topic but got a EE Mifi and want to know best sim deal as I use lots of data. Thanks

Define lots ?

Tesco use the EE network so you get 4G

Comment

I haven't misread the landing page, it doesn't say exactly the same as the proper t's & c's for the limited SIM though...

Still feeling shafted as a loyal customer then, perhaps it's time to PAC my number to someone else... I might try my luck with Verizon.

Thank you

Oh you're in America? That explains it...

So after the 2 months can you top up again or is that it??

Good find the deal is just like a tesco value bag of chips!

Cheap as chips....

What about if I go abroad?

Is that 4g?

Yes 201Gb, on 4G

That's not certain, you might be able to text 100gb when you put a 1GB pack on

I am thinking of doing the same. I would be interested in finding out how you are going make sure that EE allow you retain the allowance on the SIM in this deal once the number has been ported?

So far no existing customers have confirmed that yet.

Heat added! will I be able to use this sim in my EE buzzard in car wifi? Or use it to tether to ipad etc? Thanks for any advice

I tried on my t-mobile sim but error came up on reply, with £0 credit so far i am able to use over 1gb data without and topups or anything,could be a glitch ? or something

Wow absolute bargain!

You know this how? Considering when I texted the code it mentions needing to be on a price plan. Nothing about needing a special edition sim.

Can i tether to pc use utorrent on this?

It shouldn't make any diff as it's a brand spanking new EE PAYG SIM with temporary number. Are you suggesting that no one is not allowed to jump networks? Wrong. That's like saying, you can only use British Gas forever & not SSE. People are allowed to move to a diff networks at your choosing.

It would not make any diff to what PAYG plan or allowance you get in this deal as that is linked to the PAYG account side.

If you want to keep your personal number & move to another network then all you need is a PAC number from your own network. Suggest you read the article below.

PAC Codes: How to transfer your mobile number when switching networks

"Free data starts as soon as the 1GB of data in your Data pack runs out and lasts up to 30 days."

its still a deal, but not 2 months of data use if you use the 1GB within a week.

Would rather use 2 tin cans and string than ever use EE AGAIN 2 years to get my £700 + over charge back, the most unhelpful pack of shysters you will ever have the misfortune to come across

Yes, you have 30 days in which to use the free 100 Gb after the 1Gb you paid for

Can anyone on tmobile with
no credit try this and see if data works?

how did you get 1GB?.. did you buy a 1GB pack?

Excellent deal, thank you

I just noticed , i had £1 credit which is used for data , but for £1 it can't be unlimited data for a day ?

so, did you text '100 GB' to 150 before using the data?.. I can't think of pack/add-on, where £1 gives 1GB data.

Please just relax, I know how to jump networks. I asked for specific and genuine advice as I have lost the allowance in the past when I ported my number to a SIM despite assurances from the fantastic EE support staff.

They told me afterwards that the allowance was linked to the temporary number that was assigned to it. It could have been an internal error or a policy - I do not know and hence my question to you.

Comment
Thanks

[img][/img]

I used data after sending text, but when i send a text it says SORRY YOUR TEXT WAS NOT RECOGNISED.

I dont really need this sim for downloading as my current BB is faster but what I am interested in is the upload speed of this, which is likely to be faster than my BB.

Does anyone know what the data cap on upload is? Backing up to the cloud would be much faster.

iUploader

How would you get the correct sim for say a Galaxy S3 unlocked? Tia :smiley:

try login through t-mobile and not ee

[url=]Your text here[/url]

thats how much i used data on meter.

This deal has thinkbroadband.com affiliate link attached.

iComission

I once personally had a speed test result of over 100MB/sec while using one of the Dan and Phil SIMs. Needless to say, I was amazed. This was outside Bridgend Train Station in south Wales. And in the same spot I ran a speed test on my O2 phone out of curiosity - returning a result of 0.8MB/sec.
EE is definitely the superior network over here. O2's lack of investment sickens me.

Mate, thank you so much for this! I need internet for this event at near the end of the month and the venue is charging me £60 so getting this would be a HUGE help. I've had a quick read through the T&Cs and the comments on here but I can't seem to find the info on tethering. I've never actually tethered my phone before because the 3 contract I'm on doesn't allow it :/ But is there anywhere I can confirm I will be able to tether my phone with this EE sim so that I can access the internet from my latop?

Thanks, I appreciate the response and the info, but that doesnt answer my question.

The upload speed however is amazing and what I would want it for.

iGrateful

Don't think there is a cap on uploading data from memory...

The data cap counts uploads exactly the same as if you were downloading - 100GB per month for two months. So you could upload 99GB in a month and download just 1GB and you'll be fine. Or 50/50, whatever way you use data. In short, it's 100GB of combined uploads and downloads per month.

Thank you, that's brilliant. And ordered.

iSP

Sorry, too many replies to do.

Nobody knows unless you know someone who or has worked previously within EE PAYG dept. I suspect it's more of a internal error during the port process via external network ports company than a EE PAYG policy as would it not make sense for EE not to encourage potential new customers to move to their faster 4G network.

If EE PAYG claims it's policy then all that does is just skewers the amount of new PAYG customers when in reality it's just the repeated same customers. Be aware that some businesses will use new customers as a sign of new business when it's just the repeated same customers. Maybe EE is trying to give the impression that they are the UK's biggest mobile telecommunications network by extended subscriber numbers.

Never had any issues with EE PAYG myself previously but then I always take a pinch of salt when it comes to customer service advice from any company as it really depends on who you really talking to. Some customer service advisors will know their stuff back to front & some jack all but read from the standard reply screens/sheets. It really depends on their so call company training & years of knowledge/experience to know what they are talking about.

Some companies do outsource their customer services to 3rd parties with shocking training as it's cheaper to operate than in-house.

Trust me, at times it's far much quicker to do your research on their company website or elsewhere than call thorough their call centres waiting or been held up when their advisors are trying to find an answer for you.

If you had issues in the past then I would always suggest to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion just in case you don't get fobbed off as I tend to find that all contact centres appear to be more so concerned about their KPI's than genuine customer care issues.

Btw, I don't work for EE, past or present or the future.

Tesco allow tethering
GiffGaff do too but NOT on unlimited plans....

Oops, my mistake (re: Tesco)
I knew GiffGaff allowed tethering on their capped data goodybags, but in all fairness their data speeds are so abysmal I can't see why anyone would want to use their network for tethering.

Get Deal link not working

Lovely Thanks

I agree with that, my partner was on GiffGaff because it seemed a good deal... only to find the internet is soooooo slow, he pays the same now and is on Three where he gets really fast 3G and 4G, Giff Gaff is a joke!

Hence the phrase " You're having a GiffGaff"

All O2-based networks such as GiffGaff have terrible data speeds and 3G coverage. It's common knowledge that O2 has invested the smallest amount of money in their 3G network in the past 10 years. If you want a decent network built for data you use an MBNL based one - EE or Three.

You can't tether with 3 Feel at Home so using 200gb would be difficult...

Order this sim 'Cheers '

Its a good deal... But I find the comparison with a completely different sim (standard.. Not an offer - a tad harsh). Hence why I compared a standard offer.. To a standard offer for another comparison. I'm not mocking this deal... But if you're gonna spend £10 just on data... Surely you've got a separate sim for texts calls... Just get a three ayce data sim.

Either way, EE are terrible for me. Started charging me for using deezer which was suppose to be included (when orange merged).

lol isit me or is the math a bit shady ? 100gb + 100gb = 201???? you what????

This is only a temporary one-off, two-month deal rather than a long term proposition.

Three might be good, but for me, utterly useless as I can't tether abroad.

4gb tether on a 12 month contract. You also can't use the 200gb abroad.... Lol

Try this for speed not even near London

No overseas tethering on 3 LOL.

How about if you already have the limited edition sim from before, can you top that up?

Cheers

can we use the sims from tcb or quidco or are these special ones?

Thanks for the info
Op

Totally agree with you, the whole comparison was wrong Lollzz but what people fail to realise is its actually 100gb to use over 2 months so not sure where the 200gb came from?

good find

No - just you.

It's 100GB per month for two months, plus the 1GB that you get with the SIM

It's not 200gb for £10, the data pack is a rolling renewal so the second month costs another £10 and they are giving you the extra 100gb again. So 200gb for £20 and you have to cancel the auto renewal if you don't want to pay a third £10 for 1gb.

But tethering not allowed on giffgaff unlimited

can we use the sims from tcb or quidco or are these special ones?

I can read thank you, and understand. At the end of the 30 days the 100gb WILL refresh along with the £10 charge for the data pack you have purchased - total cost £20.

Nope - still can't

Is it possible to convert my 3 PAYG sim to EE and then avail this offer without actually ordering a new and different sim? Asking because I want to keep my old number.

Yes 100gb for free on top of the 1gb per month you've paid £10 for, it's not difficult to understand just read the packs page,

http://shop.ee.co.uk/price-plans/pay-as-you-go/about-packs

The limited edition sim comes pre loaded with a £10 data pack, you activate this by paying £10 and this gives you the regular 1gb of data, by texting the code you get another free 100gb.

"All packs recur automatically unless you opt out." (every 30 days) If you opt out you won't get the extra 100gb - you will have to renew for a second month at a cost of £10 to get it.

Good deal

Yep still a good deal at 202gb for £20 over 60 days, as usual big companies don't make the offer as clear as it should be. Third month not so good!

Since 3 chucked unlimited tethering last year , we are now limited to 4gb per month on the one plan for tethering. An extra 1gb costs £5 ( for one month ) This deal will be very handy for when I'm away up north for a week with no broadband access . Cheers to the OP :-)

I ported my number onto the previous 100GB offer (Dan & Phil) and my allowance was kept. Plan to do the same thing this time.


"certain price plans". The key word here is "certain".


EE explicitly mentioned on their community forum that the previous 100GB offer was tetherable, no reason to be any different this time. EE has no tethering restrictions whatsoever on any plans.

Great Deal!

Cheers, great deal

EE are getting desperate no longer the UKs biggest operator , been losing 000s of 0000s of customers lately

Great deal though op

My only problem is very poor coverage in my local area. Might be worth getting as a spare when out and about where reception is better.

Will this work in my iPad ????

Could have done giving this to my son - keeps blowing his data limit - I think it's the old problem with Deezer and the old Orange swappables. I decided to get him a new contract last night - I hope he doesn't blow 4Gb.
Couldn't believe that him spending an extra £20 on data goes through to the credit checkers and adversely affects credit score i.e. the bill payer's - me :smiley:
Hot deal!

Ordered be good for the kids

we have been using a three sim for our home internet for the past 12 months, on average we use 16gb a month. the data connection speed is 'H+', which lets us as a family of 4 stream videos, play games, browse and generally everything we need to do online. We also have a few home servers which we use frequently for data dumping when needed

if you use 100gb, that really is impressive. personally I think with 20gb you'll be doing well to exceed that!

I'm hoping now BT have taken over they will sort out the horrendous CS

BT - Bloody Terrible

It's fair enough for a one off 100GB a 'two months' for two months after your first month.
BUT
That's it. A one off. Presumably to cover you over the Glastonbury period?

Can this be used abroad in Turkey? Going on holiday at the beginning of June and it looks to be a hassle to get a local sim from there. 3 are wanting to charge £7.50 per MB too.

Replying to Khairul,

You may be right but the t&cs state "The 100GB free data will start as soon as you have used up the 1GB data included in your Data Pack." if you do not renew the data pack for the second month you won't have the 1GB to use. We will have to see how this works in practice, I can't see them giving you another 100GB free if you don't renew the pack. It would be nice to be wrong, it'll save me £10 as i've gone for this deal!

Ah, I understand...yeah, I'll give that a go then. Thanks

"You’ll need 3G or 4G coverage to use your 100GB data and a compatible 3G or 4G device." A mi-fi is a device isn't it... so i don't think they really care anymore. I have the xmas one and I have used that in a mifi that i bought from them and i had no problem... I was able to use it until the end of the promotion...

Same here. I also used my two Dan and Phil SIMs in an EE Kestrel and they both worked fine! Don't know what people are worrying about...

Would this (data) work when roaming in Spain ?

can be used in France ?

Ok ppl, this data is for UK only!!! It won't work on any other country!!!!

Is this no good for an iPad then?

Can someone please explain to a non techie like me why the phone companies make such an issue over tethering?
I have sight issues so I like to hook up my phone to my netbook to make it easier to use the net. If my plan includes data each month what difference does it make whether I use the screen of my phone or link it to my netbook for the bigger screen? Surely I'm using the same data allowance?
At the moment I don't need to worry about this as I am on the original 3 One Plan but this ends in September. The 3 phone call reception in my town is rubbish. The new In Touch app hasn't helped much. I am thinking to change companies when the time comes.

So this cant be used in an EE osprey?

Well Three started to limit their tethering allowance because a select few were abusing it and using the One Plan as their sole internet provider. Some people were using over 100GB per month using P2P etc which put a strain on the network, hence why they now limit tethering to up to 2GB on phone plans or 4GB on their SIM Only plans.

Short term pointless deal to sucker people in, great for two months, then what??

People take advantage, there's usually a small number of people who use incredibly high amounts of data. Tethering makes it easier to use more data.

I would guess that most people don't get near their data limits, it's probably just a number that is used when people compare different providers.

I've got an ipad mini WiFi I'd love to use with this whilst our and about. Am I right to think I'll need a 4g phone that can be used as a WiFi hotspot for this to work? My current phone is an LG g2.. Which works of course.. But my contract sim is only 2gb data monthly so I cant afford to tether my ipad from it.

Does any gadget exist that you can plug a sim card into, that simply acts as a wide hotspot when you're on the move?

Will this work on ipad with sim card?

ordered a load of these when one runs out I'm going to top up and get another 100gb ...need it for work :smiley:

So it doesn't cost any more per unit to provide the service, it's because some people are hogging the lines? Thanks for the explanation.
I don't use much each day and if I can get a free hotspot I would use that. I got the plan because I go to Edinburgh a couple of times a year to research my family tree. I have both Scottish and English ancestors. The centre does not provide access to ancestry or FindmyPast websites so I often need to use them for cross reference.
If I have my phone tethered but am not on a site, am I still using data or is it only counting when I open the phone's browser?

I got a load also and to answer your question No they are not duds and they still work

They're rinsing it .. "There's no assets left, EE."

Did they ever have any?

sure its 201GB ? More likely that extra 100GB is not per month but 100GB that you can spend during 2 months time... so if you use 80GB in month1 that leaves you with 20GB for month 2... or am I missing something?

It's like some data deals giving you "whooping" 20GB to use for 24months... which some people think is 20GB per month.. while it really isn't...

Hi Guys.
So just to be clear. It will Cost £20 for the 2 months?

What's this standard pricing then?

Ok, so how does this compare to Vodafone's 30 day contract with totally unlimited data for the first 3 months (costs around 12 quid a month)? Do vf have some kind of fair use policy that makes the data use less attractive?

1GB of 4GEE data, 50 minutes and 50 texts.

Was being rhetorical the "then what" was not meant to be taken literally. Still a pointless deal and don't understand the heat, 2 mnths and 200gb of download limit wooo hooo fill ya boots, is it really worth the effort??? Really??

Don't hate the playa, hate the game....

Dont hate the playa, like i said its a rubbish deal and the only real use i can see is when someone had posted that they recently moved house and are waiting for their broadband to be installed, for this purpose it would be a good deal and quite usefull, other than that all they are doing is preying on and hoping that people go over their limits after two months so that they can charge em up.

It's PAYG so that won't (or can't) happen....

This site is a disgrace at times. I posted this deal and then was banned for posting a 'marketing link'... No chance for me to check or reply back - just a straight 24 hour ban. Well done Mods. Great to see being a loyal long-time member pays off.

Ordered

The only concern I have is that it doesn't give enough minutes to use it as main number and the the only way I think to have more minutes is to buy add-ons for minutes which again I have no idea how much it would cost.

A bit of headache to sort all these out!

So lets be straight then. The ee deal is not unlimited ever, vf is unlimited for 3 months. Price is similar in the 1st month, you get many more mins/text with vf, but vf is a rolling contract so you've got to cancel, and with ee you get 4g thrown in and pay extra with vf? Am I reading this right?

It still makes the ee deal look OK, especially if you want 4G, but in terms of total amount of data/calls/text, vf looks good.

I know how you feel as there are sadly some MODs on this site who don't care about the views of loyal members and who make arbitrary decisions which appear contrary to HUKD's Code of Conduct. You can't even submit more than one report to a MOD asking them to unexpire a thread because they are obviously so far above us members(!)

This deal is not a long-term proposition as I've said before - merely a lot of data for £10 for holidays or for abusing

Best Voda deal I can see is unlimited calls, unlimited SMS and 3GB of 4G for £14.55/mth (including the 3-month unlimited data test drive)

Yeah, you're right. The unlimited 3 months comes with 12 month plans. I didn't see that earlier. It's almost as though they don't want you to fully understand before they sign you up...

I have noticed a lot of people asking if this will work with tablets. As long as EE have not changed their terms and conditions since the Dan & Phil promo, then yes it will work.

EE have a similar policy to Giffgaff, as long as the tablet is phone enabled out of the box then it will work.

I was with Three for years on the One Plan, when they ended that plan I bought a Tab S 10.5 LTE believing I would be able to use it with my Three Sim as the Tab S is basically an oversized Galaxy S5. Against advice given here I purchased the Tab S only to find out that Three block data usage.

I then tried Giffgaff which accepted my Tab S but was slower than dial up.

EE worked perfectly and for 2 months I had mobile internet topping 8 MB/Sec.

Apologise if it's been said already but you can get 6 months the net use for £20 with EE tmobile

Not really for a phone unless you have a dual SIM such as a Moto G obviously it's data biased so only really for a device other than a phone.

If you're a drug dealer, or a gypsy on the other hand switching numbers regularly is perhaps beneficial lol

Ideal in a dual SIM phone such as the Moto G along side your regular number SIM as you can set what each SIM is for.

That's what I did with the pc world 1gb/month for £25 for the full year SIM.

There used to be a hack to prevent tethered detection by the provider I know it can be done via a rooted android device.

Great News! Your EE Limited Edition SIM is on its way with 100GB data absolutely free! Look out for it tomorrow

this is on carphone warehouse would you get away with using this in an unlocked ee osprey?

never heard of id

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/id-multi-sim-ia182-idcon?intcmp=id_simonly_buynow_120515

Brilliant deal.

I happen to be on holiday in scotland in June and then again in Wales in July. I only have 500MB on my phone contract so this will allow me to use the internet how I like. I will just bang it in an old android phone and then make the phone a wifi hotspot.

I thought it was 1GB a month? Is this the 6MONTHWEB offer?
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/t-mobile-data-sim-1gb-per-month-for-3-33-per-month-great-samba-mobile-replacement-1895140

Great offer, heat added, I will not be taking up the offer since BT want to give me 38MB fibre and line rental for cheap as chips for 12 months. :smiley:

My bad, you're right.

Thanks OP.
This has just sorted me out for Internet access during a hospital stay.
Much appreciated.

Super Hot Deal!

didnt it say something about 31st may? 9 days time?

No problem, glad it wasn't me getting it wrong for once! Anyone know whether the 6MONTHWEB option still works with a fairly new EE PAYG SIM? Haven't tried it yet, as I am on the Knowhow deal, but it could be useful.

As far as I'm aware the 6MONTHWEB add-on can only be used on T-Mobile 3G SIMs (not EE 4G).

Do they email you to confirm sim card has been sent? Ordered one the other day.

MONTHWEB for £5 a month still works on t-mobile, been using in for the last few months on by dongle, I dont stream or download much so lasts full month for me, they will send u a txt when u get to 80% of your allowence but you can still view web pages and emails just no streaming unless between midnight and 6 am.

Mine has arrived this morning,

very true........had to get mine reset last week after tmobile decided to wipe my data for the remaining last 4 months of this deal. shocking customer service now from tmobile....

What's the latest data to activate this offer? I have two and have activated one already. I assume about mid-June.

Do you have to toupup again for 2nd month of 100gb?

I've just had a re-read of the T&Cs, the first part of which is (bold bits emphasised by me):

Limited Edition pay as you go SIM 100GB free May/June 2015 - Terms and
Conditions

Sign up by 23:59 on 18th June 2015 for a free Limited Edition pay as you go SIM via the EE website,
and we’ll give you a UK data allowance of 100GB each month for 2 consecutive months for free. The
100GB of data is for use in the UK only. You need to put the SIM we send you in your phone within
14 days of receiving it, top up £10 to activate your Data Pack then text 100GB to 150 to activate the
free data.

There are a number of questions which arise:

1) Is 31st May really the last day to order the limited edition SIM? The title and description wording is that you need to "sign up" "via the EE website" "by 23:59 on 18th June 2015". This seems to suggest the limited edition SIM would be available to order till then.

2) Do you really need to top up within 14 days of receiving it? First of all, there's no way EE would know exactly what day you received the SIM. Secondly, the T&Cs say that the 14-day restriction is the time limit for putting your SIM in the phone, not to top up (perhaps therefore you can defer the top up, and therefore the 1GB pack, and therefore the 100GB, till later?).

It's all a bit vague isn't it, i suspect the 31st of May date is the last date for entry into the Glastonbury draw, the cut off for that couldn't be much later, it may well be the sim will be available after that without the draw. the sims are sent out royal mail 1st Class so they could assume you get them the next day and start the 14 day countdown from then (though I doubt they are that concerned with the date and may will ignore the 14 day limit). The T and C's on the sim pack are however quite explicit as to the activation of the second months 100gb free data, it is as I suspected on payment of the second months £10 pack fee. The wording is "Top up within 14 days of getting this sim to buy your data pack then text to activate the 100gb free. 100gb free starts when 1gb in the data pack runs out and lasts up to 30 days. This happens again in month two." Maybe the OP will now edit the title?

Awesome!

I think the Op is right and one £10 top-up gives you two months of 100gb. I also reckon that you will have until the end of June to activate irrespective of when you buy it.

got my six sims today, the other 6 are coming tomorrow.
I do believe its 100gb to use over 2 months.
for those with the Phil and Dan sim i activated all my sims around 23/12 last year but putting it in an old blackberry, waited for the text confirmation and immediately removed sim.
if you did this then the 2 month 100gb per month starts once you start to use data, I have been using Dan and Phil sim ever since, I am using one now and that was renewed on the 18th, it will finally run out next month, then I'll use my last 2 Dan and Phil sim which should take me up until November.

can i ask a really stupid question ? can i use this in ipad ?

Erm, no...

So Mr know it all I got my sim today and it don't mention I will get 100gb each month for 2 months it says "get a whopping 100gb of 4gee data to use in your first 2 months totally free...

As I said before its 100gb to use within 2 months like the 6gb data sims they sell which has 90 day validity

No post for me today, will have to wait 'til tomorrow for mine :disappointed:

Its 100GB to use in month 1, another 100GB to use in month 2, so in total 200GB over two months...You wont roll any over though fro month 1 to 2...

Perhaps this will help. This is the status of sim.

How? i have some lying around but aint they outdated?
im using a iphone6, but a 5s which has normal data sim init. if i put the dan and phill sim in to my old blackberry, wait for text, doesnt it mean its active?

will this work with mifi

Your two months will start once you text 150 and product is added, it's not triggered by first data usage.

OHH YEAH!

This offer is really good for tablets

Fxxking hell, didn't know they can be used like this, you guys are genius...

Not sure if its worth me using mine as I have a pile of Three PAYG sims that have unlimited data and work on my older mifi(but not my newer one)but only place I get a fast speed is in my flat, whenever I travel even when staying in hotel or caravan three is slow

How is the network for slowdown in busy times?

I thought so but that's not what incant said though.

I suspect you're right about 31st May possibly being the last day to get a Glastonbury SIM, after which it will be a non-Glastonbury Limited Edition.

Just to clarify what you said about the T&C's, you quoted directly from the SIM pack itself? Supposing you are right though, that would contradict the T&Cs on the website where it says that 100GB allowances are consecutive (not separated by a 1GB data pack).


Based on my interpretation of the T&Cs, you could possibly do this: Get the SIM, put it into a phone, and put the SIM away. When you need it, top it up, and then text 100GB to 150.


If you have not used the Dan & Phil SIMs yet then I'm afraid it's too late. You needed to have received the text some time in December at the latest.

Shame I live in Ireland haha.

The adverts / promotional info for this offer are a mess and open to interpretation, whether this is deliberate by ee or just bad communication I don't know, I quoted directly from the sim pack T&Cs and i'm pretty certain that it's £10 per month for 2 months, if you only pay the first month you'll get 101gb total and nothing until you pay again. Time will tell if that's how it pans out but i'll be amazed if ee give you a second 100gb without renewing the pack.

With the previous offer they did actually do it without even having to top up, in fact in my case they even threw in a third month for free.

Anyone know the absolute final date to activate this sim card for the promotion ??or the range at least ?:man:

Can somebody please confirm can I use in Huawei wifi USB device or similar? Is that anywhere mention we can't use in such device?

Can it free roaming in Spain?

Erm, I keep reading about Phil and Dan SIMs in this thread; what are they exactly?

Perhaps this will help again! Judging by this thread I think I need to post this on every page as no one seems to believe the Op.

This is the status of sim.

- No, you don't have to top up £10 next month to get that month's 100GB allowance
- Yes, you can tether
- Yes, it'll work in a MiFi or a tablet

Can you get me an actual screenshot of this to post on the description and as a new pic?

How is it possible to sign up for more than one sim? Do you have to use different names e.g. family members, or can you use the same name multiple times?

HI, Wonder if anybody can help me. Have activated SIm have topped it up with £10 but seem unable to send the text for the 100GB to 150 I get like there is no signal but I can send texts to other numbers. DO I have to start using the data before I can claim the 100GB ?


Sorted..:smiley:

Ah thanks for replying. Unfortunately ive used it D: i gave some to friends and family they still have 2gb each month and still going?

Do they get the 2GB for free?

Yep still as of today too

Typical "dealers" - hand it out virtually free until you're hooked, and when they've got you where they want, start charging full whack!

Guys if i was to order multiple. does the mobile number have to be in like this order 07000000000 i have been doing 07777 777 777 does it matter? these numbers are example i have used my own numbers in that format
also if i use different email address will it work?

activated mine now the site is playing up and the myee app so i cannot see anything or topup, great start!

Also if you re use your number over and over again does it affect the sim not being delivered?

Is this offer available in store as well?

For any doubting Thomas's. Odd though that the add-on which is Waiting appears to be the one being used.

Need to port my number from Three to EE for this deal, wondering if the number can only be ported on a working day, i.e. from next Tue. Any idea?

During an interactive top-up (which failed online and had to be completed over the phone) I got an impression that the data pack will be automatically renewed every month and you cannot remove your credit card details in the first 3 months. This potentially means the charge of 3*£10 to use this promotion before I can pull out. Or am I wrong.

I'm sure there would be quite a few ppl planning to do the same. But in my case, home broadband sucks, 4G on Three only gives me about 2-3 Mbps at home if not less. So I want to have better 4G speed for the next 2 months. I might dl some large PC games with it.

has anyone had any luck using this for torrents?

to preecey:

I thought this forum is about exchanging information, not personal remarks. If you have nothing to say on a substance, you may better follow,the tags "behavioural training" and "etiquette".

On a technical side - you need an active package to use your allowance and it is not clear if the package is renewed without crediting the account.

I wouldn't have thought that my comment would have been taken so seriously, what I was implying is that you need not worry. I meant it in jest, anyway.

The top up is in no way a recurring thing. You've topped up your £10, that's it. The £10 data pack only recurs if you have enough credit on your SIM. If you don't, they won't automatically take money from your card. I can assure you that. As far as I know, the only network who can and will take money automatically from your debit card is GiffGaff (when your credit runs below a certain amount), but even then it will only be when you've explicitly ticked a box in advance saying that they can do so.

Relax, you will get your 100GB next month and no more money will be taken from your card.

Despite it not being necessary, if you want peace of mind, you can always text STOP PACK to 150. This won't stop your 100GB allowance either this month or next. It'll just stop the £10 data pack from being queued next month to start if you have sufficient credit.

mmmmm.... ordered on Monday but no mail or SMS received from them
still waiting for the sim....
an body else on this train?

Will go well with the mifi from this thread:

Yes, indeed.

Note: The new EE Osprey and Buzzard 4G MiFi’s are due to go on sale on May 28, with the Kite hitting shelves in July.

do you get any txt or mins 2nd month?

Osprey 2 is already on sale at CPW (product code 19760344). Is there a Osprey 3?

Has an clever soul worked out if you can queue these things up so you can use them over a longer period?

Must have missed it. No Osprey 3.

Can u order more than one?

I ordered on Monday received no sim or email to say it is on it's way.

I ordered this evening and received the email within a couple of hours saying I was in the draw for the Glastonbury tickets and the sim is on it's way.

,,,I need a little bit explain,,,I received simcard today and put this SIM into my smartphone.And straight after put this card, without top up or anything the connection started and till now I can browsing sites. What's going on.?! Is it only 1 GB on start?

It's amaising how people find it easier to ask stupid questions rather than read the original posting, particular reference to Gizman and the geezer asking about using the sim in Turkey. M5RC you have the patience of a saint responding to the questions from these 'children'. I hope this is hotter than an Indian Tandoor!

I'd be very surprised, in fact amazed if that's the case if you ordered your sim from the proper link. You only get the 1gb when you top up £10 which automatically starts your data pack, if you don't top up your sim wont even become active and you cant get the 100gb until you have topped up, started your pack and text 150.

Taa

Ordered on Tuesday night, dispatched Wednesday, arrived Thursday.
Already connected it to my router via a iphone and used 4gb in just under 24hrs. 100gb is not lasting the month :smiley:
That said, I'm using it because I had a gap in broadband provision between two providers so that will be solved this weekend.
Heat added!

Lol how did you connect to the router? Enabled wired connection and Bluetooth option on iPhone?

Thanks for replay:-) Actually I know what's all about:-). Sim card has a little amount of data without top up for registering and top up card through online , if you want :-) It maybe has something around 300 mb or something ;-)

Sim comes with 50mb to get you going, I guess the idea is that you can see you have a decent connection before you shell out.

Thanx everyone for answers;-)

anyone knows the final date before activating the sim ??

i ordered this twice now and still no confirmation e-mail......since monday or tuesday
not normal right?

I have this all up and running now. SIM card came within 48 hours. Just done a speedtest on it and it is reporting 42Mbps which seems a bit high. But the connection is faultless.

I have put it into my missus' old lumia 625 and connected all our stuff to it in the hotel we are currently in. It seems more reliable than my infinity at home.

And now it will do me for my holidays in wales and Scotland for the next 2 months.

Top deal. Best bargain I have had on here.

So p2p software not going to working with this sim?

yes it is quite annoying since i woud really like to try EE before i get out of three....

how long did the confirmation e-mail take after you ordered?
going to ask a friend to order one to his address to see if it works for him ..

Won't let me order more than 1 - comes up with message that I can only order 1 person on the second attempt.

How did you manage to get more than 1?

Change email addresses, slight variation on names, send one to home/work/wife/lover...

Tried that on alternative e mails - but getting no confirmation e mails. I assumed that wasn't working

I also assume that applying for another SIM using a different IP address would work

Thanks both

Ordered 2 using same browser and same network. And 2 arrived..

Very happy just moved end put it in the iPhone any the tether we go 100gb you've.. Thanks peeps for tenner and free sim

I am on holiday in UK at the end of August. Is there anyway to postpone the start date so the 2 months will cover all of August? If so I am in, iPlayer etc streaming whilst on holiday. Coverage in Cornwall looks good now, though I only have a 3g mifi good enough for streaming.

anyone tried getting a sim from the shop, topping getting the add on and texting like the instructions?
the reason why i ask is because i have tried ordering it online but still havent received it , nor any confirmation e-mail. i have ordered several times with different address name number and email but still nothing....

[/quote]Why not ask EE to extend indefinitely too....[/quote]No need to be like that! I have read the whole thread, some people are still using the 'old' version of this sim with some in reserve by ordering multiples, just asking if anyone can confirm if these are the same and how best done.

EE signal is carp in my area, but a fabulous deal for those who have good EE coverage

It's best done by simply ordering via the link to eliminate any doubt

Here are the full t&cs from EE

Limited Edition pay as you go SIM 100GB free May/June 2015 - Terms and Conditions
Sign up by 23:59 on 18th June 2015 for a free Limited Edition pay as you go SIM via the EE website, and we’ll give you a UK data allowance of 100GB each month for 2 consecutive months for free. The 100GB of data is for use in the UK only. You need to put the SIM we send you in your phone within 14 days of receiving it, top up £10 to activate your Data Pack then text 100GB to 150 to activate the free data. The 100GB free data will start as soon as you have used up the 1GB data included in your Data Pack. The 100GB free data will last for 30 days or until it runs out, whichever happens first. Any unused data will not roll over to the next month. If you exceed this 100GB allowance or want to use data outside the UK, you’ll need to top up and buy a pay as you go data add-on (standard charges will apply), see ee.co.uk/payg.
You’ll need 3G or 4G coverage to use your 100GB data and a compatible 3G or 4G device. To use 4G you must be within a 4G enabled area and in range of a 4G base station. 4G coverage is not available everywhere in the UK, see ee.co.uk/coverage. See our standard data terms at ee.co.uk/terms for what you can do with your data.
The SIM also comes pre-loaded with a £10 Data Pack. The pack will start as soon as you’ve topped up £10 then make a call, send a text message or use data. All packs recur automatically unless you opt out. Services are for use in UK only. See ee.co.uk/payg for terms of this pack and details on all of our other packs.
By signing up for the SIM you agree to being sent marketing communications from us.
Offer not available in any other channel. We can withdraw, suspend, extend or change the offer at any time without notice. One SIM per customer only. Only for customers in the UK age 16 or over.

Only ever used contract sims so how exactly do u top up using a voucher so u dont have to give card details pls and does that work?

Thank you!

Been using this in my Mifi over the weekend no problems, 12GB used so far.

I can't imagine they'd fine me?

Voted hot for the deal and extra hot for making the post clear and simple

1: Cannot be used in a Mifi / Tablet as it is a Phone Rec EE sim, not a data sim
2: If you do try it in a Mifi / Tablet and get away with it, EE have the right to charge you for the data used
as a data sim at £XXX per GB

I used the Dan and Phil sim in my Mifi ( after activation on my phone) and it worked fine for the 2 months it was valid for. How are they going to charge you for using it in a Mifi when you are on PAYG ?

.

I wanted to know if I could stack the sims ( delay the activation until the current one had ran out so I could have six months use) but the EE helpdesk was useless - Did not know anything about the offer and could not give an expiry date for activations. I also asked about the fact that the sim had to be activated within 14 days of receiving it but when I asked how they knew when I had received the sim and they just made up a load of cobblers. I did manage to delay activation for 2 months on the second sim and it worked fine so it should work on these sims too.

Thank you! We're all happy here on our jollies watching F1!

Anyone getting crappy mmsssages and a shoddy 3g service ?

Hey Guys.
So i ordered it, carried out the process, it works fine.
I am using it in my Huawei E5332 Hotspot device as I type.
It works fine.

The Huawei is only a 3G one, so i know the speeds are around 5Mb DL and 1.5 UL.
Teathering of my Old note 3 gave me about 25MB + DL and 15MB UL.

Does anyone know of any good 4G external devices? I saw one on Carphone Warehouse, that was £9.99 upfront and then 20 a month on a 30 day rolling contract.

Thanks for your response preecey.

the one I saw was the Huawei 4g mifi Your text here

But the ee osprey looks good too.
I figure it will cost £30 all in for a month?

Decisions decisions

Not sure if anyone has tried this but I just managed to change the data pack to £15 talk & text pack which gives 750 minutes, unlimited text and 10 MB of data (since there is 100 GB as promotion, we don't need more data from the pack).

So now I have 100 GB of data as promotion and 750 minutes and unlimited data for £15 only. They way is to do this is to top up £15 whilr making sure no text or call or internet usage occurs. Once toped up you can change the pack and it will start straight away.

Im using the SIM as my main SIM do I needed more minutes but if you using it purely for data, I don't see any reasons why £1 data pack would not work and active the 100 GB.

If someone tried that please let me know.

Yep, just £30 in total, give or take a few pence. Make sure you ring EE up to cancel the day after you take out the contract. The excuse I gave was that I only needed it for a short break of two weeks. They'll then action the 30 day notice period for you. Once that has elapsed the contract SIM will completely cancel down after the 30th day.

I'd personally pick the Osprey over that 4G Huawei device. There's three reasons for this:

- The Osprey has a bigger battery so will last all day like I said
- The Osprey has a built-in display so you can check signal strength etc
- The Osprey has a rubberised yellow frame so is more durable.

But the Huawei is a smaller device so if you prefer portability/pocketability, then that'll be better. Not that the Osprey is huge or anything, though.

Comment

I tried to change the plan before I top up but it requires a credit first so I topped up but switch off the mobile data as if the phone start using the internet or you make call or send text the original Data pack get activated. Then I went via My EE app to change the pack and it did work.

Yes you will still need to text 100 GB after the pack is active and its gonna get confirmed in seconds.

has anyone got the sim, without the email, confirmation ?

zaker what kind of range does the opsrey give with its wifi signal (not the 4g signal) ?

Awsome. I love the advice :smile: Thanks :smile:

£15 top up on Three will get you Unlimited Data (yes, unlimited), 300 minutes and 3000 texts. Plus you can use it abroad for free so although not cheaper, seems better value IMO. And it's not an offer either.

Anyone having bother texting from the mifi I have the osprey and can send texts from the browser. It says 150 is not a valid no tho!

Thanks for the reply i thought the unit did have a good wifi signal cos thats the point of it :smiley:.. from the youtube reviews the y800 does have a display ..

hopefully my backordered osprey will turn up soon

Why lol, they let you

My experience has been that the maximum you can get at a postal address is 2. After which you stop receiving confirmation e mails.

Are others having a similar experience?

Has anyone received a SIM without receiving a confirmation e mail

Cheers

Hi - Isn't the yellow rubberised version the Osprey 2 and therefore £49-99 on Pay as you go?

the other pay month contract one is the older Osprey - not the new Osprey 2.

Would be interested to know what the difference between the Osprey and Osprey 2 is if anyone could advise.

Thanks

The original Osprey also has the yellow rubberised casing, here's a link to the deal I purchased several months ago, albeit it now has a £9.99 upfront cost:

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/broadband/mobile-broadband/buy/osprey-black-mobile-wifi-em097-fcon4

If the link doesn't work, type in 19500755 in the search box at the top of the Carphone Warehouse page.

The new Osprey 2 doubles up as a portable battery pack so you can use it to charge your phone as well as acting as a WiFi hotspot. The original Osprey, which I have, is only used as a portable MiFi device

Thanks preecey

Am new to downloading on mobiles & tablets ,What kinds of things would folks usually download on such packages ?

the osprey 2 has mobile charging facility and 6gb of internal memory for backups/files but no microsd slot. osprey one has microsd slot!

Dunno if the osprey 2 have a faster modem

Does it? I haven't checked mine. If so, massive bonus!

Just checked my first gen Osprey and can confirm that it has a microSD card slot. Massive Brucie bonus!

Is the rechargable battery on the Osprey replaceable? Anyone opened one up?

I'm a tinker by nature who loves to see the innards of how things work. Like most things in life, there is always going to be new technologies & new ideas constantly moving forward but I loath & hate the idea of a so easily throw away society as we do seem to waste a lot in this country compare to other nations. If you're happy with the mifi & the battery can be replaced, why not?

Only asked as I much prefer the Ospray's LCD display than the new Osprey 2/Osprey 2 Mini LED indicators.

I did checked out the Alcatel spec pages prior to asking just to gage what's on offer between mifi devices & :confused:, the future's bright with stats like Wi-Fi: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac; 2.4 & 5 GHz; 2x2 MIMO; up to 32 users simultaneously connected, External Interface: Micro USB 3.0 High Speed.

These mifi devices are getting more faster & smarter by the day. :smile:

No doubt new technologies will come at a high price to start but will trickle down as time goes by.

just to add theres the osprey 2 and the osprey 2 mini (just to confuse the hell out of everyone and this thread)

So what's the latest you can activate sim top up and get the 100gb

Just had a look on E Bay - these SIMS are going on sale

I received confirmation text/email on the 21st but still not received it. Anyone else?

Because people are not aware that you can get them for free + £10.

On eBay,spotted one at £20+£1.78 delivery and STILL needs to be topped up with £10. So charging £22 for a free sim!

EE is limiting the number they hand out too - that's why a lot of people aren't getting confirmation e mails.

i got a text saying mine will be with me tomorrow annd my osprey is arriving tomorrow. so i can

Received the text today as well, delivery tomorrow!!

good deal thanks

Sims arrived -

Osprey this afternoon

got both already now .. I assume just activate the sim in the phone, and go onto some website. remove and plonk into osprey and then top up within 14 days ..?

To send/recieve texts - go to 192.168.1.1 and user & pw is : admin .. to go the router's interface btw..

mine's had sim registration failed :neutral_face:

Mine also has sim registration failure. I rang and it seems they have recycled a whole bunch of numbers and many can't be reprovisioned. No way on earth to get that sim active.

Very typical of EE to underestimate the demand for the offer. So much so the computers are dredging the vaults for numbers.

Advised that they cannot issue replacements for this offer over the phone. Told to order another from the website but what do you know? One per person. Had to use alternate email and phone number to get around this.

Fingers crossed but....

Wait... if I buy two, then use first one until it expires then activate the second one, do I still get this deal?

@rayhigh Recycling of old numbers from their pool is normal. what seems to be happening is that its not creating an account for that number. I have been told that a new sim will be with me on friday and that i will be re entered for the draw Lol.

microsd card sharing has been disabled on the osprey sadly ..

Thanks very much for the detailed reply , preecey ;does anyone know if navigation maps use mush GB per month and a app to check usage amounts please ?

Got the text on 19th and still waiting to receive... :disappointed:

have to activate the sim with in 14 days and top up & text for the 100gb by 18/6

Am I doing anything wrong folks

Put my SIM in the phone with data turned off. Turn on and wait for automatic text confirming activation.

Except I havent got the activation text??

I've received no sim or confirmation email. I ordered one last monday. EE not much help stating just order another sim.
Anyone else not get their sim yet?

tried it at least 3 more times with different emails. I never received a sim card.

Can I use this as data only in my i-Pad?

Received mine, does anyone know if it will work in the ee car wifi buzzard:

@Redbiro if you want to save on map downloading all the time get here maps.. it has offline maps ability ..

im in the same boat you are....... got a text from them before yesterday...... Great news! Your EE Limited Edition SIM is on its way with 100GB of data absolutely free! Look out for it tomorrow.
going home now to check if it's with my mail.
after a whole week and 3 days.

jav1900 if you have signal its registered onto the network, just have a quick look via the web (phone) and it will be fully activated .

Just download the EE app on the phone you've got the sim in or with a device thats connected to the mifi (if thats your set up)

Will show 1GB data, 50mis, 50texts, once you've used that up it'll go up to 100GB. that way you know it's active. I did also get one or two texts.

Thanks folks

Seems when I received my SIM yesterday the numbers were dead. When I tried again this morning the EE signal was active.

yeah i had that jav but then it stopped working .. I should be getting a new one tomororw and if that fails i will be talking to them on tuesday ..

yeah so can we use both sims :P or pass one over to friends/family/local cat :P ?

haven't got the 2nd yet

When is the last day I can top this up and apply the 100gb? Could do with it at the end of July?

from the website (slight clarification)

anyone one know how i can txt 100GB to 150 to activate this from an ipad I have no ee handsets :disappointed:

Anyone got a spare sim they don't want? I ordered one and they never sent it. Tried several different emails with no luck either.
I would cover P&P. Much appreciated if somebody can help.

Yes

they never sent mine either

They can't help via DM they said ring them. They don't deal with account queries on twitter.

Hey, I had this problem - if you send your full name, address, tel no. and estimated order date to [email protected] they should be able to help

complete shambles by EE !

Did anyone figure out if we can delay using these like with the Dan and Phil versions?

just had 5 days hols with this sim plumbed into an EE Buzzard car wifi dongle. used it for the journey both ways with my little one using netflix on ipad, and our phones connected to it. and for 5 days in a caravan plugged into a usb plug. managed to get decent 4G signal when our O2 phones couldn't get 3G. downloaded a few films and used the dongle as wifi for our phones and 2 ipads. hardly dented the free 100G. well worth the £10 spend. Could anyone tell me if there is a way to connect the usb dongle direct to the ipad via the lightning connector for power?? if not it will happily be used on my laptop until it expires!!

Well... After a week on holiday (the reason for getting the SIM), 4 calls and a load of hassle, they still haven't added the 100GB on.
Nobody in customer services knows anything about this offer or is able to do a damn thing to help.
As I'm back from holiday, I don't need the data anymore so I demanded my £10 back... The guy flat-refused because I'd used some data :confused:
I made an analogy to getting 1 pea and having to pay for the entire meal to no avail.
It hardly seems worth the effort for £10 but the principle of them not delivering on a promise might make me formally complain :disappointed:

Anyone else have this bother?

Apologies If I sound condescending, but did you actually text 100GB to 150 after you topped up? And did you apply for the exclusive SIM through the link on here or did you get a normal SIM through other means/use an existing SIM?

Had the same experience with the Dan and Phil sims but I got the 100Gb by using the the EE app on my phone.

I know the default position is user error but I have bought sims before which are not the same as the packaging. It is very easy to put the wrong sim in the correct packaging.

thats what i have. the sim comes with 3 sizes to push out and this takes a standard sim. works a treat.

Yep and yep

How did you do that?
I've had a look around the app and can't see anything obvious.

Hey...I want to get the same as you, but I cannot see where it shows you get £26 cashback? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks

Thank you, I'll look at getting on then! They tried telling me it wouldn't lol

Quick question: is the 1gb data used first before the 100gb?

Anyone having problems with their sim not being recognised? My other EE sim works fine, but this one isn't being recognised.

Was a general contract SIM offer. Expired yesterday on Topcashback try Quidco they may have it.

Just click through to carphone warehouse via the Top cash back/ quidco link.

Apologies - looks like the offer has been renewed

Its the all other SIMs with £47.25 Max

Only 26.25 tracked for me

The previous SIM was useless. Used it a couple of times but too busy with xmas. Then in January thought OK let's give it a proper try but just kept telling me it was no longer working. Also dozens of daft texts from "Dan & Phil"

I recently got a lenovo laptop with mobile broadband built in. Can I use this on that?

Why is this expired?

It has been extended until 18th June, so should be unexpired.

It was always 18th June, 31st of May was the deadline for entry to win the festival tickets.

shouldn't be expired - open till 18th June

So annoyingly.. mine is showing the 100GB offer active.. and then the 1GB and 50MB waiting..

Has anyone tried taking an EE 30day rolling contract to get the mifi devices for about £20/30 quid? If so how did they approach cancelling it on the day ans the 30 days notice etc?

Thanks

do ee still borrow you £1 if you are out of credit?

Ive done just that today, got a Osprey 4G MiFi from Currys for £10, gonna cancel it tomorrow and use this 100GB Sim for a trip in a few weeks.

And you can get unlock codes for 99p from ebay.

Just ordered. Thanks OP

Can these be used abroad

Hi, is it 'all SIM only sales' which is currently £20.20?

can the data be used whilst abroad?

What happens after the 2 months? Can we do it again?

My contract is ending soon, I got unlimited data for £15 and dont go over 6 so with this I could save a £5 :smile:

just reserved one mifi from curry for £9 on pay monthly. they just ask name and email ?
please some body explain am i just going to pay £9 and no contract or when i pickit up they will ask my details.

Do you have to use the £10 data pack or can you use the £15 Everything pack?

I got the sim in the post today and it doesn't work no signal on my both of my unlocked phones
I tried another payg sim from EE and it works but this one nothing at all.

Just received mine, using an old phone to tether all other devices too.

Yeah, but can you change the pack to the Everything pack then top up £15?

Generous!

Spare phone will be used for 4G tethering. Back to my Samsung Galaxy S3 for calls and texts on Three.

Is this the same as the EE Glastonbury sim I got last week?

Still waiting for mine to arrive.......waiting 10 days so far

Already got one! Good deal !!!

if I took this abroad, can I use the data?

You need to apply before 31st may.
Expired

Would this work on the channel islands?

so it's £20 for 2 months (data pack has to be renewed)

British telecom
British gas.
British government are terrible
But not British people

hot!!!!!!!

silly question as I've never tethered before... I have this sim in an old handset, to allow me to termer another device do I make my old device with this sim into a mobile hotspot?
I've never done this before!
thanks in advance

Smashing. Thankyou. I'll get that sorted. This sim is perfect for me as I'm in hospital next week and there's no patient wifi! I can stay connected and not worry about going over my normal phone's allowance with this deal.

I used GiffGaff just the once when I got a new phone, they kept blocking my data claiming I had put the sim in a mifi device because I was downloading things from desktop verisons of sites, then the speed was like dial up level if not worse.

They told me they make no mistakes and if they say I have done something then I have.

Debatable

This is great and all but too much messing about. Why on earth don't they just drop the prices and raise the allowances on their mobile broadband or PAYG/PAYM plans to something resembling this? Then I'll switch

An update on this...
Instead of trying to tell customer services how to do their jobs, I sent them an email.
A day and a half later, I get a call from an extrememly apologetic lady who refunded me the money and promised to do something about staff awareness of offers and the attitude of the blunt man I last spoke to (hmmm :smirk:)...
At least I got my money back so I recommend that if you have a problem with any of EE's services, don't call, email.

IS THIS ONLY FOR 4G?

No itll run at 3G too

Ordered but how you text from the code from IPad ?

I'm not sure how I've managed this but I appear to have the 100gb without having been charged for the initial pack.

I put the sim in, and it said I was on the £10 pack. Then I topped up by £10, texted for the 100gb, then texted to cancel the £10 pack.

That was yesterday and it now shows that I have 100gb to use (not 101), that I don't have a pack, and that I still have £10 top up credit. So it doesn't reflect any cost/data allowance for a £10 pack, and it looks like I have £10 credit to use in the future.

Probably too good to be true.

No in fact I'd used some of the initial small data allowance in order to top up.

I didn't think you could avoid being charged for a month even if cancelling the pack but seem to have managed it. Unless it's just out of date info - maybe they'll correct it.

Does anyone know if you can use this in a IPAD??

I haven't received mine either. Tried to order another one with my same details and it says only one allowed. Put it in my son's name instead and new sim arrived next day.

Thanks. Bought the EE Osprey yesterday to use this in. £9.99 from Currys, plus £10 for 1GB 30 day sim ( free 2gb bolt on included. )

I apologise if this has already been asked/answered, but it's such a long thread.

I have received my card (thanks again OP), topped up £10 and all is good. The only thing I'm not sure about is that the terms say that this pack is automatically renewed every 30 days 'but you can cancel at any time'. Does this mean I am going to be charged £10 again in 30 days, if so should I cancel? And if I do cancel, will I lose my 100gb+100gb?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply usenetz, though I'm still not 100% clear, sorry.

I only purchased £10, but of course EE now have my card details - can they automatically take the next £10, or do they just store them ready for me to actually authorise (if I decide) my next payment?

Also, if I actually stop the pack as per your instructions, presumably I won't get month 2's 100gb?

Sorry to be a pain :disappointed:

Brilliant, thank you so much for your help.

Very strange! Once credit has been converted to a Pack there is normally no way back!

I didn't top up via My Account, I did it just as a 'guest' without signing up, so will my credit card details still be held and charged automatically after the pack? I shouldn't think so...

No. Only you can authorise your card to be used to top-up your account and the pack will not be activated if there is insufficient credit on your EE account to buy it. Once again you can also text STOP PACK to 150 to stop the pack.

You can top up using the accompanying top up card with a crisp £10 note at your local Co op. Requires no CC details being handed over

This will be perfect for those who have tablets with 4g connectivity. Streaming videos like mad!

Who [whom?] else takes the card as Ive never used a PAYG card before?

How is everyone planning on using this? I'm on a pay monthly EE sim currently, but not sure if I should swap this for it as this only lasts for 2 months before going back to the standard amounts. Don't really have a tablet either.

To be honest, yes. Why would someone turn down such a great offer? I bought it with the intention of swapping it for my current SIM, but thought I'd ask if anyone had better alternatives.

It was always a two month deal though. Just cos it's a great offer doesn't mean you must buy it!

Purchased this popped in tablet that is also GSM phone went into EE shop with top up card that came with Sim asked to but £10 on handed over note, job done, text 100GB to 150 from tablet received text extra data added.

Bargain Thanks to OP for highlighting this offer great for summer holiday use in UK.

Shame cant delay activation are would buy more

When I bought the Osprey from PC World I was also told in store that they had a free 2GB pack which they would add to my account however on checking my account on the EE app and website there is no mention of it.

What's the latest you can activate sim and top up hope to be able to delay till 11th to cover holiday

topped up and activated in 5 mins! my EE mobile speed is twice the speed of my sky broadband LOL....30mpbs!! wowsers!!!

Comment use another email, its the email they have stored

OK, thanks. Thought I was missing out as I didn't get it with mine, and obviously if it was available I wanted it :smiley:

ive got the buzzard but how do i activate the sim?

if im going to use this in my in car buzzard do i need to activate in a phone first then move the sim over to the in car buzzard? thanks Paul

Not sure if this has been asked already. Is this double speed 4G or normal 4G?

Hiya,
When I was in store I was watching their computer screen as they filled in the details . On one of the pages it asks the staff if they'd like to add any free bolt ons. I asked them "oh what free bolt ons are they offering me?".
There's the option to add 2 bolt ons, the first drop down list had 2gb free internet, plus random options called j2,j3,j4. No idea what they were but I asked for the 2gb free internet :wink:

what do people think will be the absolute last date to qualify for the 100GB?
The last date for ordering the sim is the 18th June, so could they allow a week (at most) for delivery and then you must top up £10 within a further week so maybe the 2nd July?

Thank you, that's good. I couldn't see the screen when I got mine, too late now I suppose. Is it showing on your account?

So I received my limited sim card the first few days when they were available. I got 3 in total with both home and work address and different email addresses.

Here are what I did so far:

1. Put SIM card into my beloved Nokia 105. After a few moments, received text from EE saying "£10 Data Pack" will start as soon as I have topped up £10 and after starting a call/text/data.

2. Bought £10 top up voucher from corner shop. Sent text with the voucher code to 150 to top up, received text from EE saying £10 is now confirmed.

3. Registered a MyEE account on their website. At this point, I can see there is £10 credit on my account and I am still allowed to change to another pack because my "£10 Data Pack" has not started yet.

4. Sent text "100GB" to 150 and got confirmation immediately saying "We have successfully added the 100GB promotion to your account. Thank you." Yippee!!!

5. However, at this point, in my EE online account, my "£10 Data Pack" has not started yet as I believe I had not made any chargeable call/text/data with the sim. Also, I don't see anywhere in my account where it says 100GB data allowance.



Here comes 2 questions.

1. Would I need to make a call/send a text/use data first, so it starts the "£10 Data Pack", before I can see 100GB data added to my account? I had the impression that both £10 Data Pack and 100GB data will be visible in my EE account, but seems no... which is worrying me a little bit. I have not started using this limited sim yet as I am still using another EE PAYG sim I bought earlier, will finish the existing one first and switch to the limited sim.

2. Further to my last question... If this is normal, then maybe this will work to delay the start of the 100GB data! Simply top up £10 with the limited sim, ensure you don't start any call/text/data, send text "100GB" to 150 to activate the promotion, remove SIM card. Wait for another 1 month or 2 to pop SIM card back in the phone and you should still have the "£10 Data Pack", and 100GB data queued for another 2 months? If this works, since I have 3 limited sim, I can possibly rely on them for the next 6 months! :smiley:

I got my 100GB without buying the add on: I inserted SIM, topped up £10 then immedietly texted 100GB to 150 and got confirmation online and on the EE app that I've got 100GB of free data (a free add on) - and I still have £10 credit unspent on any packs.

Very unlikely as the £10 add on is already active on the sim just waiting for the £10 top up, the EE app is crap at times so doesn't update right away

Update! Just saw the 100GB data allowance is added as an ADD-ON to my account.
Now, I am tempted to switch my current pack to "£1 talk and text pack" that gives 25 min / 50 texts for 7 days.
http://shop.ee.co.uk/price-plans/pay-as-you-go/about-packs

Did the following happen to anyone? Popped the new sim in. Old number is still transfering but im able to use data. Havn't topped up or anything. Unable to make calls and texts but 4G data working fine.

No it says i have 50 mins, 50 texts and 1024mb data. Used data for a while and still hasn't changed

does anybody know if the 14 day top up rule is actually enforced ? - its not as if they know the date you received it ?

just that I have a SIM I received more than 14 days ago & dont want to top up £10 only to find I cant get the 100gb allowance

That's what I thought but the first thing I did was text 100GB to 150 which I assume is a free text.....I didn't immeditely browse or make a voice call, just texted that code to EE.
I then got a text back confirming 100GB data now applied despite still showing as £10 in credit and no actual pack having been paid for. In fact I cannot even select the 1GB/50mins/50txt pack that is shown on the leaflet that come with my SIM.

I also have £5.25 showing as pending in TopCashback for this SIM :smile:

this is great! i will try same. just delaying as much as i can to top up and start the 100GB as getting osprey from CPW delivered tomorrow. I did try texting 100gb without £10 top up but it said i needed to top up first. fingers crossed.

I inserted SIM, immedietly topped up online (not on the phone as my android browser wouldn't let me complete the process) then text 100GB to 150. I made no other calls or tested the SIM worked or anything like that before doing this.

Mine has clearly glitched as online it can't display my credit or add on or let me choose any add on, on the EE app I can see credit and the free add on.

thanks I have two sims but already activated one and browsed the net (didnt top up) so might use the other sim instead to try this.

Does anyone know if this SIM can be got/bought at an EE store?
If not, how long does it take to arrive once ordered online?Thank you
V

OK thanks for that, will give it a whirl... I've had silly problems like this on other Tmobile and EE sims where accounts don't work properly for ages.... not too bothered about this one as I've got the data for the month I need it and £10 is a great price to pay for it... might even get my £5.25 TCB with luck :smile:

Hmm can't see any credit in Google account (but not sure what I do to get that) - I just got txt from EE saying 'Welcome., your £10 data pack will start when I call, text or browse......" - so presumabkly as I managed to get the free 100GB before they sent this txt I've got it without using the credit or the pack and as I've not made any voice calls or texts (other than to 150) it hasn't activated. Probably why it doesn't show correctly in web account as it's waiting for me to make a chargeable call/txt but any data use is using my 100GB allowance before it got a chance to use the 1GB from the data pack.

This may sound stupid but how will topcashback know when u have activated the sim u ordered?

I don't know how but it did, once I'd topped up £10 about 30mins later it's in TCB as pending although it shows the value as £1 not £10 (must be upon activation). I don't expect it'll go through as someone else suggested TBC won't pay on special PAYG sims like this one but I thought there's nothing to lose.

Thank you for reply

Hey there, I wasn't meant to be a doubter. I asked for a screenshot because by the time I was replying to you, I did not get my 100GB data allowance yet and was curious to see how it looks like on someone's account.

And I have something new to add. The below 2 screenshots should be pretty self-explanatory. :smile::D:D
I wasn't so lucky to still have £10 left as a credit, but I'm close! I managed to change to the £1 text and talk pack so it took £1 off my credit, and I sent a test text so it took another 12p.

So for some reason, my £1 text and talk pack wasn't applied and I still got charged for that test text I sent out. But I am happy as far as I have 100GB to use for each month for the next 2, and afterwards I would still have credit left for other uses! :smiley:

Gonna try the same trick on my other limited SIM!

I'm sorry but this just gets more confusing to me by the minute. Got the sim and a mifi to use for my holidays. I want to top up by voucher so no details are given. Could someone post an IDIOT proof guide to what I do next to activate it pls?
Tnx
LL

I had the previous version of this when it was available at Christmas. Has anyone had both or am I likely to be rejected if I apply in my own name?

how did you change to the £1 pack? i guess you topped up £10 and changed the pack? or was it other way round i.e. changed pack and then top up?

Yup. I topped up £10 and sent text to activate 100GB allowance. At this point, I have not yet made any chargeable calls/texts/data so neither the £10 pack nor the 100GB allowance has been used. Log in to EE online account, change to £1 pack and viola! They took the £1 but afterwards you can see my online account is now showing errors, and the £1 pack was NOT activated.

makes me wonder if i used the sim before topping up £10 will that make a difference to the changing pack trick and
if the 100gb will be renewed after 30days...

Ordered. Thanks.

Hello

I bought the sim for my mifi device and have used the top up card to add £10 credit. How do I activate the 100gb data? My mifi is standard sim and my mobile is microsim so cannot put it in my mobile phone and back into mifi. Is there a way around this problem?

thanks

Some mifi units don't take sim adaptors, I think one example is Huawei E5776 where you can damage the sim slot by using an adaptor.

Excellent. Thank you - will try that. Thanks everyone else for the other suggestions as well.

Message txtd back is
it looks like you havent topped up yet.make sure to top up £10 before adding your free data.

Worked exactly as described! Thank you!

Seems like deal extended to 25th June but appears changed to 100GB for the full 2 months.
I also note that the 'legal' bit states free data will start when the data pack runs out but on my sim it appears to be eating into the 100GB first.

This is still 100GB per month for 2 months right?

This is from the current T&Cs, it is still 100GB per month for two months. I would be pretty sure you could get data in August by activating the 100GB at the end of June. It also reads as if the 100GB lasts for 30 days from when it starts but it doesn't start until the original 1GB is used up but that is probably just how I am reading it.

Also reading the last paragraph, if you had a spare one, it would be worth topping it up within the time limit but not using any data and see what happens. I think the text to 150 is free.

"Sign up by 23:59 on 18th June 2015 for a free Limited Edition pay as you go SIM via the EE website, and we’ll give you a UK data allowance of 100GB each month for 2 consecutive months for free. The 100GB of data is for use in the UK only. You need to put the SIM we send you in your phone within 14 days of receiving it, top up £10 to activate your Data Pack then text 100GB to 150 to activate the free data. The 100GB free data will start as soon as you have used up the 1GB data included in your Data Pack. The 100GB free data will last for 30 days or until it runs out, whichever happens first. Any unused data will not roll over to the next month. If you exceed this 100GB allowance or want to use data outside the UK, you’ll need to top up and buy a pay as you go data add-on (standard charges will apply), see ee.co.uk/payg.

The SIM also comes pre-loaded with a £10 Data Pack. The pack will start as soon as you’ve topped up £10 then make a call, send a text message or use data. All packs recur automatically unless you opt out. Services are for use in UK only. See ee.co.uk/payg for terms of this pack and details on all of our other packs."

If anyone has an issue trying to top up and it shows the error message
We can't find a mobile number for this account. Please associate one with it
even though you have already logged the sim number then you can add funds via this page which doesnt need a registered account
http://ee.co.uk/ee-and-me/top-up-pay-as-you-go
and it will add the amount to your account

One strange thing I noticed today the money goes into the credit amount on the left and at is brought into the account [right] when the monthly payment is due ergo mine shows £0 [left] and £10/monthly [right].So if I added another £10 it would appear on the left until the monthly due date

Does anyone see a cheap mifi for like £20 or under? That doesn't require me to sign upto a contract.

Is anybody else waiting for a SIM I got 2 initially pretty quickly. But since then have ordered another 4 or 5 with different email addresses even physical addresses and yet none have arrived?

Price has dropped on the Osprey contract: http://www.hotukdeals.com/visit?m=6&q=2224473

Anybody know when will be the last activation date for this sim? I received a couple of weeks ago and just noticed it has to be activated within 14 days since received. But I couldn't remember exact date received and prefer to activate later. Would that be possible?

sad n dgsavg

Agreed, had mine a week before sticking it my phone.
then 12 days later I topped up using the card that was in the pack. Then texted the 100GB to 150.
Was still ok, and the 200G added to my account.

Cool, I will wait for the last date, then lots of data for holiday (UK). Plenty of streaming!
Looks like 25th June + 2 weeks for last date.

Hmmm,
I had a txt today "Your £10 Data Pack ends in 7 days and we'll add another. Make sure you have at least £10.00 credit. Top up at ee.co.uk/topup or go to My Account. " does it means I need to top up, I thought it's 2x100 Gb???

Is 4G traffic shaped when tethering? Terrible speeds with torrents.

same here, first few went ok, then it dropped to single figures kbs

Tried a VPN?
Got a feeling it's because of traffic-shaping from EE's end.

Do i have toi use the sim they send or can i but a sim from a shop and top up the data

To get this deal with the 2 months of 100GB data you need to use the sim they send.

Yeah Torrent is terrible. Absolutely no point in having this really. VPN makes it faster but no where near the 40+mb im getting without VPN.

did it work on the other sim?

Yeah, ordered 2 more seperately to 2 seperate, different addresses, different names and different E-Mail addresses, but neither has turned up yet :disappointed:

just to confirm, i topped up £10 and texted 100GB to 150 and got confirmation of the add-on (and can see it on my account) but havent used the sim at all since (web/call/sms) so can still see the £10 credit.
tempted to change my pack to the £1 pack so that it doesnt take the entire £10 credit and hopefully the 100gb add on stays active

ok I might have a problem so posting here in case anybody knows the answer

I did the required £10 top up & sent the 100bg text to get the 100gb allowance/add on

Then in order to try to keep my £10 i sent 'stop pack' & this is where things went haywire

Firstly my online account says
'Sorry, something's gone wrong Could not get credit and pack information'

The EE app is still working saying I have £10 credit
- however while it is also saying I have 100gb allowance it is SAYING I HAVE ZERO DAYS LEFT OF THIS ALLOWANCE ??? - instead of the expected 30 days

I have browsed the internet & used some data so data is available so Im not sure what is happening ?

Have I lost the 100gb by stopping the pack ? - hence the zero days ?

edit : ok looks like I might be OK as when I go to add ons on the app it shows the start date of 18 June & end date of 18 July

so you still have the £10 credit then?

yes it looks like its worked

I still have £10 credit & the 100gb allowance - the zero days issue was just a glitch - its now showing 31 days

I will probably phone EE later today & get the £10 credit transferred to my main EE SIM

does anybody know if you can defer the start date of the 100gb allowance ?

i.e. get it applied & ready to use with the 100gb text but then dont use the sim for any calls, texts or data until you actually want to start using it ?

I have already started the allowance with my first SIM but I have a second SIM I'd like to use after the first SIM allowance ends

I still have the £10 credit and the 100GB of data, mine has never cleared the problem where it can't display the add on / pack. Maybe it'll reset on month 2

Well i think you can. On my account i havent used the sim at all but the addon is there!
It doesnt show any date i.e. start / expiry but just says 30 days...so i think it may ok to wait to 'activate' the 100GB add-on. I will post screenshots later

Great post, has anyone managed to get more than 1? If so how please if sending to just one address.

I checked site and it seems there letting it may run on a few days longer than the original deadline of the 18th June. but still have to activate it within 14 days of receiving it.

On EE site quoted below.
" Limited Edition SIM: Get your SIM by 23:59 on 25th June, top up £10 within 14 days of getting it to buy your Data Pack then text 100GB to 150 to activate the 100GB free UK data.

Data Pack: Services are UK only. Packs are a subscription based service that recur automatically every 30 days.

You can choose to opt out at any time. Full terms at ee.co.uk/terms"

How did you get 2nd did you use same phone number on application but different email address or all different please?

Anyone else had multiple spam texts and calls? My own number is on 3 and I rarely if ever get these.

all details different apart from the address - tried for a third but didnty get it so may be allowing 2 per address ?

please report back on this i.e. if the number of days left of the 100gb decreases even though you havent used the SIM

hopefully the 100gb doesnt activate till you first use some data

i have managed to transfer the £10 topup from the 100gb sim onto my main EE sim so nice result

was half expecting customer serices to say no but went fairly smoothly

I've had 3 or 4 junk texts from EE, usual how to get started, check your balance, how to buy packs etc.

I have it in a 4g usb dongle attached to my router, using it to supplement my 4MB broadband with 15-20MB/sec 4g.

If anyone else is interested: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/mwan3

keep calm.

seems to me it doesnt activate until you start using sim...see below i topped up on 16 June and added the 100GB then. The screenshots are today 18 June... so i think might be safe to say if you have multiple sims, could be a way of activating offer and saving for later (although they can still deactivate add-on i would imagine). I will optout of the £10 data pack or change my pack to the £1 one before using the sim. Currently using EE osprey on 30 day contract so waiting for this to run out before activating my sim :sunglasses:

Ive added the 100GB allowance to my second SIM so hopefully this wont activate till I use some data

What is also of interest is that its at least 3 weeks since I received the SIM so the '14 day rule' is not being enforced

This is working really well for me so far and is a bloody godsend as I'm in between houses at the moment. so thanks.

Asked for this to be re-listed as it hasn't expired yet. The offer now ends on the 25th June.

I recived my sim 4 days after this deal was posted, just actvated and topped up no problems at all, left it later as need internet in august.

Can this be used in europe at all ?

EE are very bad for this,must sell the numbers.

No

Thats a shame could do with a payg for western europe.

another question - if (like me) you have used 'stop pack' or maybe switched to the £1 data pack will you still get the 2nd month of 100gb ?

try mobile by sainsburys?
http://www.phoneshopbysainsburys.co.uk/summer2015
Or three.co.uk payG if they cover the country you interested in their feel at home list.

Hmmm mine one is expiring tomorrow and it seems infill need to top up, but I will wait and see

Put each of the sims I got into a phone, then went and topped up £10 on each card, sent the message and got 2 confirmations that the 100GB addons had been added to each account

Just registered each online and it is showing £10 credit on each but zero data allowance

Does it take a while to update online?

Did you txt 100GB to 150?

Yeah and got a confirmation text back on each sim

it does take a little while to update.

Well, my first lot of 100 gb expired today and I got a text (amongst others stating to top up) that as a treat I get a 2nd month free of 100gb starting today.
So, the OP was completely right, only 1 original top up required for 2 months of 100gb which is a total of 200gb plus the 1gb thats already on the sim.
Phwoar what a scorching deal this has been.

It won't show on the main myaccount screen as you are not yet using the sim. Instead if you go to menu, select "pack and addons", scroll all the way down and clicks on "addons", it will show your free 100GB and valid for 30 days as in their text confirmation.

any calls or txt with 2nd month?

Nah, unfortunately no txts or calls for 2nd month.

I have just registered the sim and received txt saying I have £10.00 credit. I have added £10 cash to my topup card, so is the £10 credit automatically transferred from the topup card, I haven't linked it yet but is it automatically linked as it is the topup card that came with the sim?

If the £10 credit is not from the topup card, has anyone tried enabling the 100GB to see if the crdit is used for the 100GB rather than the initial pack.

Has anyone yet worked out if the 30 days 100GB data starts as soon as you text 100GB to 150 or does the 30 days start once you have used the initial 1 GB.

Extended to the 30th according to this text I got and something about £10 credit I don't understand
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ovhgnpqyyahx45w/Screenshot_2015-06-24-18-21-19.png?dl=0

Just got that as well.

I hadn't activated mine yet so I presume it is a sweetener to use it.

I do not think the 30 day 100gb allowance starts until you actually use some data so you can defer the time when you use it

I also texted 'stop pack' to keep my £10 which removed the 1GB allowance

Now when i text 'bal' I get a message saying I have £10 credit & 100gb allowance BUT IT DOES NOT SPECIFY A START / END DATE FOR THAT ALLOWANCE suggesting it has not activated yet

I cannot use the EE app to check for a start/end date as that would probably use some data & activate the 100gb allowance - also as soon as you remove the 1GB pack it screws up the online account so you cant check the details there either

On my other 100gb SIM where I am currently using the allowance IT SAYS THE DATE WHEN THE ALLOWANCE ENDS

Me too.

As JohnnyUtah says, sounds like a sweetener to register the sim - free £10 credit for the second month.

Offer definitely ended now, according to website. The free £10 top up for second month is available until the 30th.

Last date to top up and text 100GB to 150 is 13th July.

got my 2nd sim card early June and just topped up now... 100GB added fine and shows on my account.
havent used 2nd sim yet and will activate when 1st sim data runs out.
happy days
if all works fine and manage to opt out that works out as 100GB 4GEE data on my EE Osprey per month for 4 months...and should have about £18-£20 credit left still to use after that. :sunglasses:

Free £10 credit for second month added, now have £20 credit... not started using it yet.

I'm on the 15th day of the first 30 days 100GB data allowance, 95GB has been used up already. Will the second 30 days of 100GB start as soon as I finish the first 100GB or I have to wait till the 31st day? Would help me a lot if someone knows the answer.

You have to wait for the 2nd lot of 30 days.

couple more questions :

1) does anybody know if I defer using this allowance then could it eventually disappear before i get a chance to use it ?

2) am I correct in thinking you just need one chargeable event every 6 months to keep an EE sim active ?

I have two sims stacked up and ready to go in addition to the one I am using now. Activated them, topped them up and then sent the text from a phone with the data off. They are both looking good on my account ie not started, so I think I have got 6 months of 100GB.

Mine just wouldnt top uo. Kept saying there was an error. So will have to ring ee up today and explain. I am not loosing outoO

So you didn't manage to cancel other pack and get CS to transfer initial £10 top-up onto the next SIM? :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck!

#2 above i think it is 180days need to make chargeable event else you lose credit and subsequently sim deactivated see the T&Cs

i just checked and have £20 credit too despite not using!!

Apparently if you missed the date you can text Summer100 to 150 instead and get the same deal.

EE customer service is a joke!

not really. Very happy with EE :smiley:

mine didn't arrive so gonna miss out again as need too up tonight

Looking at this date 11months 2 weeks I make that 22nd May that this offer would be on again if they do it this year 2016. held off doing the 25gb 15 gbp deal might take the next one if this glasto sim doesnt materialise.

The crooks never gave me that deal nor the £15 "cheque" back

Just activated my last sim today, think they'll repeat this? only got till july 10th now.

Hope so, my last one just ran out. Anything could happen now with the BT takeover.

I can't see this offer being repeated, honestly.

Out of curiosity, last week I sent texts containing past code words such as DATA100, CHRISTMAS100 and 100GB to 150 using a few SIMs that I still had from their previous promotions.

When sending such codes after the offer had expired I used to get replies like "Sorry, this offer has ended", or "This offer is not available to you". Now the replies I get back are generic, advising me that I need to send codes "BA" to check my balance and "AL" to check allowances. There's no longer any reference to the data promotion.

It's a shame really. I relied on these SIMs, as well as the Vodafone 50GB promo SIMs, to get online at home. I'm currently using a Three AYCE data one month contract SIM with 30GB of tethering to tide me over until hopefully the next promo arrives.

Because the promo services are now removed, so if you send an un recognised service word you get the standard help message promoting the services that are available via text.

Thanks for all the comments, now that we think this deal has gone am looking for something I can place in an Osprey in august so I can stream pirate football to my tv via a usb computer linked to the osprey. It seems that the 30gb tethering is a good deal with 3 for 20 GBP. Weve just got 4g with o2 and voda so whats the chance of getting a red data 50gb for a tenner. is the best thing go with three one month rolling till something better crops up. what about giffgaff?

nothing like this around now???

Unfortunately not. The closest temporary SIM with a decent data allowance are the ASDA SIMs with 20GB for a tenner.
