Some info on this from last time:
- Yes it's 100gb not 100mb. Activated after top up by texting CHRISTMAS100 to 150.
- You get 100gb for the first month. Then it automatically gives you 100gb for a second month. Then it becomes a normal sim.
- If you text STOP PACK to 150 after topping up but BEFORE using data (switch data off on your phone, the text will still go ok) it won't use your £10 before giving you the 100gb. So you can use the 2x100gb and still have £10 credit to activate afterwards whenever you wish.
- It can be used in mifis, and EE don't ban tethering.
- If you have a sim from the last 100gb promo(s), it will activate this offer if you top up by £5 then text CHRISTMAS100 to 150 EDIT: PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THAT EE DO NOT NOW ALLOW THIS. Further edit: Topping up by £10 and texting CHRISTMAS100 DID work on 6th Nov.
- You can save it for future use - just do the stop pack thing and then don't use any data. I'm still using one now and it'll run to mid-December. Need to text once every six months to stop the sim being disabled. Your credit can be used for this without activating a pack.
- If you top up old sims, the 100gb starts immediately - haven't found a way to delay for future use.

There is an AWFUL lot of contradiction on here but let me put this to rest once and for all.

The easiest way to get your 100GB AND keep your £10 credit is as follows:

1. Receive SIM

2. Put SIM in phone. Any phone. Dumb phone, smart phone. It doesn't matter. No need to turn data off

3. Text 'STOP PACK' to 150 (this merely stops the £10 1GB/50 mins/50 texts add-on from starting. This is the ONLY thing STOP PACK does. It does NOT stop the 100GB add-on from being applied)

4. Buy a £10 top up in a shop using the E Top Up card supplied. (It's much easier to top up this way due to problems with the EE top up website)

5. Text 'CHRISTMAS100' to 150

6. Voilà. You now have your 100GB free each month, for two months - and your £10 credit to spend on anything you want.

Also not forgetting the pis$ poor speeds on Tesco mobile.

To get 10 months you will need 5 sims
Let's say you start on November 1st.

Sims 1,2,3 you activate on Nov 1st. That means " stop pack, top up £10, text christmas100". You must use a dumb phone.
Sim 1 data us for Nov and Dec
Sim 2 data is for Jan and Feb
Sim 3 data is for march and april

Sims 4 and 5 you activate on December 29. Again, you must use a dumb phone.

Sim 4 data is for may and June
Sim 5 will expire at end of June due to the six-month-rule. Therefore you must make a call or text from this sim, towards the end of June, to keep the sim alive. This will be paid for from the £10 PAYG credit you have on the sim, after you did the STOP PACK when activating. Texrts are 12p, calls are 30p. This call or text will keep the sim alive for a further six months, and will have the effect of triggering the data.
So sim 5 data is for July and (nearly all of) August.

So using the 5 sims you will have data from Nov 1st all the way to the end of August (nearly)

Is the postcode lookup on the form broken?

Same problem, "Find Address" not working for me either ! tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge browsers with no luck.

Great deal, surprised its out yet again, thanks for info OP.

Is only one per person / household as far as I know (?).

waiting if to see if anyone has topped up the summer sim with £5 and got this deal to work

Thanks OP, loved the almost unlimited data from last time!

If I stopped the pack last time will this still work on the sim or will I need to order a new one

argh i need this! just bought a £15 6gb of ebay and felt really depressed at how much data i was gettting. I can save that sim for another day right they never go out of date as long as i dont activate it?
thank god they've done another one. Postcode still isnt unfrozen.

Good deal. This will keep my mind happy till March or April next year.

Postcode finder now working :sunglasses:

crap, still not fixed anyone managed to get through and order one? im on laptop on chrome and am failing.

excellent deal, thanks OP

I still have the £10 on my sim from last time. Can I just get the free data again?

will summer sim work?

Do you know anything else credit can be used on? I heard you can buy PSN credit with it, anything else?

yes! i have poor credit score and cannot get a mifi. this helps!

Can my son get this instore as he is back from uni and having my old mobile so needs a new sim.

I have the SIM from last time. I toped up £10, texed to activate the promotion, and then texted to stop the pack. So I got the 200GB, but still have £10 credit.

I have just tried to text CHRISTMAS100 to 150 (without topping up any more), but I got back “Sorry, but this offer is not available to you.

Is there a time limit to activate? Interested in one of these for Glasto next June.

Can I transfer my sons pay as you go mobile number over to this SIM card?

Presumably you could also just use the £10 to buy 10 x £1 data packs also at 100mb each lasting up to a week. So for £10 you are getting 2 months of data, then up to 10 weeks at 100mb a week, which is enough for me as long as you don't stream anything.

It can also be used for charity donations.

One thing to remember with PSN credit is that you have to pay for the text message as well, so with only £5 credit you cannot top up your PSN by £5, but with say £5.20 you could as you have the extra to cover the text message cost.

Postcode finder working now.....just ordered. Used it the last time on my iPad Air and it worked fine.

Is this only for a regular sim card? Take it I can't get a mobile broadband sim?

Thanks just ordered another two because my summer sim data ends in two weeks.
The postcode address search is working for me on Android Chrome browser if anyone is still having problems.

Brilliant! Thanks for the heads up OP. I had a feeling there'd be another of these deals, I've had 3 of these previoulsy :smiley: which has kept a friend with no landline/internet online for almost 6 months...much, much cheaper than even the cheapest landline and internet deal. I think EE should make this a permanent 100GB a month deal.

HEAT (again!)

Thanks bigjeremy.Thats a shame .

Hope this one turns up last one never arrived..

Ta.

So if the text costs 12p could I top-up 12p to get £10 PSN credit :stuck_out_tongue: (joke - I know I couldn't top-up just 12p :laughing:)

So would it make sense to get 1 now, which will last until mid December and then order another early december to stretch it out for about 4 months. Am I correct in thinking that the data starts as soon as your sim is ordered, or can you keep it for 2 months before activating it?

Couldn't have come at a better time. My last sim ran out 2 days ago and I've been looking out for this since. Heat added :smiley:

I've got a sim sent from the last offer but never opened, wonder if it will work?

Heat added, great deal

Top up, turn data off, text CHRISTMAS100, text STOP PACK, take sim out before using data. The first 100gb shouldn't start until you put it back in and use data.

As mentioned above, you'll probably need to start using before 6 months is up as according to their T&Cs sims have to be used within each 6 month period or they are disabled.

expired. cold

This is what I did and it worked on my summer sim

Top it up with £5.
Text CHRISTMAS100 to 150

(receive confirmation of 200gb)

Text STOP PACK to 150

Now you have as per some posters here, 200gig and the original £5 to spend after the promo ends..

Thanks for the post!

The EE march/april SIM deal earnt me £5.25 on topcashback when I ordered this free SIM via that site so maybe worth a try eg goto TCB, click on the EE link then when on EE's site paste in this deals weblink and order, I got cashback once I topped up the £10. However this didn't work for me on the most recent EE 100GB SIM deal but did on the previous (easter time?)

Will this work with a wireless EE dongle does anyone know?

Good spot Op. Thanks.
voted hot.

My data ended with the summer sim around 3 weeks ago. Can I top up that sim and text this code for the December offer? Or do I need to order a new sim?

I've just topped up a Glasto sim by £5 and got the 200gb. Happy days!

Not sure if it's already been covered but had a previous "100gb" promotion sim that I texted "100GB" for my extra data. Tried it with the last "SUMMER100" text but got knocked back repeatedly.

Just tried the same sim with "CHRISTMAS100" and hey presto I have 100gb extra data for the next 2 months!! :smile:

Hot! What are you guys doing using up to 100gb a month?!?! I barely use that a month with my home broadband.

£5 pm for effectively unlimited data is what we all should be paying normally. This is what this sim card offers for the next 6 months.

Get three of them and activate as above and then wait for a similar spring100 offer next year.

I will never pay more than £10 per month for unlimited 4g data now. Perfect for someone like me who rarely make phone calls.

For those topping up previous sims: I don't think you can delay the 100gb starting like you can with a new sim. So stacking them for future use is an issue with the older sims.

i tried it without topping up on my existing sim which expires next month and got this message.

Sorry, but this offer is not available to you.

should I try it by topping up with £5?

Thanks folks. My old sim from the summer worked fine. I had no credit left on it, just topped it up with £5 and sent the CHRISTMAS100 text to 150, I've now got 100gig of Data to abuse again :smile:

just ordered, used mobile browser

anyone tried on the old sim that still has £10 credit, does it still need another top up?

I've been using these various promo SIMs as my main home internet connection for nearly a year now. £5 a month for an outstanding service which consistently delivers speeds in excess of 25Mbps.
Seeing that my average usage with ADSL or fibre was around 70GB per month anyway, these are great for my needs.

what about using this on an existing sim from the last promotion http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/ee-free-5-credit-within-7-days-2300668?p=26203650

that give's you an extra £5 then trying the christmas text? will try tonight

Iv got £10 spare credit anybody got any ideas as to what i could use it for. I am lready on a mobile contract so itl just stay there.

I have just signed up to join EE on pay as go , I paid £15 for a sim with a everything pack before I saw this post , will the offer be applicable to me ?

how many sims did you guys order?

How do you activate the 100Gb, what do you need to text? I have just paid for 4Gb (1 & 3 add-on) on the old sim and want to see if I can get the 100Gb on it.

Text CHRISTMAS100 to 150.

ee is freaking awesome for doing this! I was without internet at home for about 3 months and this most certainly saved me. tethering works fine as I have done it for about 4 months, on the ps4 and laptop.

even downloaded movies at a good speed, what more can you ask for?

I've been using it for the last few months and it's very good but not perfect. Sometimes webpages stall and sometimes google blocks you and says "your computer may be sending automated requests" which I assume is because they are using CGNAT. I reckon they are also using some sort of caching web proxy.

Most of the time I was getting full 20MB but sometimes dropped to 10MB, a few times I got dropped down to 3G (over the last 4 months). Speed is excellent and £10 for 2 months is a silly price.

Wish this could be made a regular tariff instead of just occasional offers.
Will be more than happy to move to EE and enjoy the good speed.

Heat added :smiley:

Honest to god you guys on here break my heart with all your shenanigans.
Please tell me more. :innocent:

wow super hot :smile:

Awesome! Still got a few old sims from last Summer deal. If EE continues these deals, they can have my money. Still far faster than my LLU Sky. Insane speeds. :smiley:

This is fantastic promo

Still using the Summer 100 and one preloaded to be used from Dec

Still have some unused Glastonbury ones - wish I could extend their lives beyond six months and preload those for later use

If they offered this as a tariff would pay £10 pm - would shake up the broadband market too if they did that.

I'm on a summer100 sim and have just been looking to change to something else, but just tried texting to 150 and got the 100GB bonus - didn't top up or anything before and have £2.75 credit. Not sure if it's because I've topped up since the summer promo ended but certainly not complaining :laughing:

i have a sim bought from Tesco for 1pound not yet activated... can i use that sim? to get this offer

actually maximum duration might be unlimited as long as you keep the sim active by sending a text at least once every 6 months which you can do indefinately if you have retained the £10 credit (& you remember of course) - you dont activate the data add on by just sending a text

So far Ive found an unactivated 100gb/month add on seems to stay there on the SIM ready for activation & doesnt expire - no garauntee that it doesnt have some sort of expiry date though - Ive still to hit the 6 month mark

No - must be specific SIM from this promo

Is that the Glastonbury SIM? Might try that if so.

I can confirm it works on the Glasto sim.

That's a good point - I've updated my post to reflect the possibility. Thanks.

You could also try using TCB for £5.25 cashback or Quidco for £9. You've got nothing to lose

I understand that you can get this new allowance using an older promo SIM

My question would then be :

if you have such an older SIM with an unactivated 100gb allowance - can you 'stack' this new allowance on top of it ?

They sent me a txt yesterday, on my summer100 that i can have another 100gb for 30 days (3rd month) for free as gift?!?! Im not heavy user (5-10gb/m) but anyway, I order this one also to keep me going..Very happy with them, quite good speed and coverage, I think that I ll switch to them, after 6 year with Three, they got the best deals at the mo...the 1 quid weekly packets are quite good too...

Yes but don't forget that due to BT's ancient network there are still many of us whose Home ADSL barely scrapes 1mbps, and a further 2.4 million whose ADSL speeds fall into the 1 - 2 mbps category. In our Village, we get around 512k from our ADSL - yet we still have to pay the same ever increasing Line Rental as those with 80mbps connections, to get these 2001-like speeds. :confused:

Needless to say, we will probably never get Fibre, and its unlikely we'll ever even see 1mbps. So to access Fibre Like 40mbps speeds from 4G allows us to do the basic things that those in Towns and Cities take for granted, like streaming Netflix and using Catch Up TV

Mobile Broadband tariffs in this Country seem to all top out at 15gb - 25gb allowances, which is still better and far more flexible than unlimited 256k - 512k ADSL but it still means that you have to watch how much you stream, these 100gb sims are great, it means we can connect to 2015 more often and for longer.

Input post code FIRST and it will find your address, then fill out rest of form.

Worked for me.

Input post code FIRST and it will find your address, then fill out rest of form.

Worked for me.

Ok here's a scenario.......

Bought a new house and move in on Wednesday (new build property) phone lines won't be laid until January at the earliest due to major roadworks and oneserve won't add further disruption until these have finished. Our developer has organised EE mobile broadband through a company called Trellisworks and will give us 4GB of data inclusive as a back up solution. If we want additional we have been told to order a sim direct from EE and top up as and when for data allowance.

Could I use this sim in the router they are installing for my temporary mobile broadband and connect various devices such as ipad, PS4, laptop to it or is it exclusive to mobile phones?

Please explain what I have to do in detail when I get this sim card? I have ee osprey mini 2 with 20gb of data preloaded, when that runs out I guess I can put this in? Do you have to start a account with cc details to pay first £10? Then cancel? I'm very green at this kind of thing, any help appreciated, thanks.

That's an awesome deal! Made even more brilliant that my Xiaomi Mi Note is dual SIM so I'll continue using my normal SIM for normal stuff and this SIM for data for two months. Although I imagine for the next two months I'll probably mainly be indoors now as it's getting chilly!

Yes it will work.
If your unsure try texting CHRISTMAS100 to 150 from the unused sim and they'll reply back
'It looks as if you haven't topped up yet. Make sure to top up £10 before adding your free data. Just visit ee.co.uk/topup or call 150 now'
I just tried on one of my unused summer sims.

can confirm that just done 5 pound top up on glastonbury sim txt CHRISTMAS100 to 150 and it worked! happy days

Ive just topped up 5 pounds on an unused glastonbury sim and it seems to work ok, was a pain to top up though had to set up an account as would fail when topping up via the ee site.

I have 1 finished summer100 sim, 2 activated but yet unused summer100 sims and 1 other summer100 sim Im current using which will expire on 1st dec.

If I top up £5 on the already used summer100 sim and follow the same procedure as before i.e turn of data during activation etc will the 2 month clock start when I want it to start?

You star! My Summer100 sim had just run out, so topped it up with £5 and got the 2x 100GB by texting CHRISTMAS100 to 150.
No need to set up an account though. go to http://www.ee.co.uk/topup , choose one-time topup, quote the phone number, CC card no and billing address and the sim tops up.

Have people recieved any emails after ordering. I have ordered two but have not received any emails. Just wondering whether its because I have already ordered the summer100 sims and my address allocation is now full.

Due to my job I've lived in various locations in the south of England and EE's signal is pretty poor. Desperately trying to get out my contract.

Well.. I have a Glasto sim that I haven't used for a while... tried to send the christmas100 code to the 150 and got the following message:
"Sorry, but this offer is not available to you"

Anyone know if I can use data abroad with this sim?

Would this work if I bought an EE sim in the supermarket on my way home tonight? Could really do with this for tomorrow.

I just tried and is not working on my summer sim. I've been using my SIM with random data packs since the promo ended. Topped up with £5, texted CHRISTMAS100 to 150 and received: The 100GB promotion is only available to customers who order ... ... Christmas SIM.

Psshh. Also tried to stop packs, and retry, still the same. Any ideas? Thanks

Someone answer my questions on page 6 please? Thanks

Thank you

Hi Preecey

I've got a summer sim with no data (all used) I guess there is still £10.00 on there because I only ever used it for data and 150

I want to keep this sim live for future offers. Plus the Christmas offer would be nice on this sim.

What is your advice in this instance?

thanks in advance

Awesome SIM.

I use it with OSPREY. I get around 40~64Mbps download speed :smile:
Can't complain on that.

Very useful for download large game updates. Will be handy for the Halo 5 9GB day one update :stuck_out_tongue:

it's a tempting offer as I require some extra data for when I'm on the road in my truck, but! can anyone tell me what you get after the 2 months?

If i remember correctly on the older version of this sim only get an email and txt once the sim has been dispatched,so i would wait a few days then perhaps retry.

Freaking hot man..

Thanks very much.

Tried on my summer sim aswell, said i require the christmas sim and gave me a link to order one, shame as now i have to wait!

Get your SIM by 23:59 on 29 December 2015, top up £10 within 14 days of getting it to buy your Data Pack then text CHRISTMAS100 to 150 to activate the 200GB free UK data. You get 100GB each month for 2 consecutive months. Free data starts as soon as the 1GB of data in your Data pack runs out and lasts up to 30 days. Check 4G coverage at ee.co.uk/coverage.

Crikey, I'm still on my summer sim data till December. Now I'll be using Christmas sim data next summer.

I use this in my kindle lte 4g and it works great. I've used the kindle as a wireless hotspot and had other devices tethered no probs.

It's a multi sim by the way.....just pop out the bits you don't need till you get the size of sim you want.

I used my 100GB last time on downloading Steam games via tethering (EE allow this) as the 4G is miles faster than my Sky broadband (7.5Meg) .

I had a Glasto one left over from the summer, unopened. I popped it in phone and texted CHRISTMAS100 to 150 but got reply "The 100GB promotion is only availlable to customers who order our pay as you go Christmas SIM. Get yours now ee.co.uk/christmassim" So looks like an unused Glasto one may not work for this.

Hey, no i never topped up but i see others saying if it works, it would say top up and not say the wrong type of sim, so didnt wanna waste a topup. Cheers

Thanks a lot! I already have 2 of these promotion SIMS from previous promotions, can I get 100GB on those as well by topping up?
Also just ordered another 100GB SIM from EE. This is the 3rd PAYG EE SIM I have from these promotions - hope they don't mind!

i have an ee sim in my tablet. Can I text and top that up to get the data or must it be a new sim? Thanks

Awesome deal

Thank you

Whats the cheapest way of getting one of these mifi devices that i can plug this sim into?

They all seem to be £60+ from a quick google

Cheers, how much call time is it?. Or is this just data?.

Could I use this SIM in a tablet only....for the 100GB per month...Or would I have to flash the tablet..in order for the SIM to work in it as a phone SIM ???

Anyone know good cheap and good WiFi dongles to work with these sims?

Thank, just ordered mine, will give me loads of data to play with for a hospital visit I have coming up at the end of the month :smiley::smiley:

Do they work with 3g phones as well?

Great deal. I got my last MIFI from CEX, its was a voda branded used one, it was £20 odd, cost a quid to get unlocked, with a code from ebay :smiley:

A 4g mifi device can cost but my 3g huwaei E5330 was about £35 from what i remember. It does the job (for what i need at least)

And fwiw i'd go mifi device rather than usb dongle as its easier to hook up multiple devices. (if your into it)

topped up £5 on summer one, Txt CHRISTMAS 100 TO 150 but reply was need to get the promotion sim

That answers my other question then. This 4g data works on 3g devices as well? Thanks

So the data on this sim works on 3g devices as well? My phone is only 3g so without a mifi I cant get 4g. Damn theyre expensive though, I dont want to fork out 60 quid

if I have an old son in a payg mobile broadband how can I top up and get this?...don't know how I can incorporate code when topping up this sim?

This is back, yessss!

That was quick.

4g will work on you mr 3G device. As in, you'll get 3G service which is more than adequate. No need to upgrade to 4g device.

I'm currently on a SIM only plan with ee, could I pop one of these in my phone to use for streaming the football for example?

Wow I didn't realise that summer one could have been used up until now... I only got two months out of it. Can someone explain how to get the most out of this one ? I order two sims then what ? Activate both of them and then send STOP to preserve one of them?

I have an unopened £5 free top up for £1 from the August deal which had no data. If I activate it will this work?

Just tried topping up £5 and texting on the previous Summer offer sim card. It doesn't work it says the offer only applies to the Christmas sim.

I know, I did it because it was working for everyone. My only other guess could be that the pack is still active. Thanks for answering tho

Sorry for double posting. That could be another thing to try, but if that does not work, it will be £10 wasted.

Didnt work

Ordered a couple of the site - doesn't work on an old sim (used a Dan and Phil one) and wasted £5

My summer100 sim doesnt have any credit, just tried texting christmas100 to 150, got the following reply.

The 100gb promotion is only available to customers who order our pay as you go Christmas sim. Get yours now at ee.co.uk/christmassim

Not sure if a 5 quid top-up would work or go wasted.

Just ordered a PAYG phone + sim from EE. 2.5 hours of calls and still not activated to be told that the SIM card got cancelled.

Good deal but crappy service.

Please excuse my ignorance but is
this type of offer as good reason to have a dual sim phone? In one slot my low data monthly sim and in the other this sim. Are all dual sim phones sophisticated enough to let you specify which sim slot is for data and which is for calls and texts say?Thanks for any help.

When I posted the summer one I only got 900 degs :disappointed:

The people that did it earlier sim to have benefited. Maybe ee put a stop to it.

I thought they wanted to protect their network?

​exactly why I bought the summer sim, streaming is impossible in our village and BT seem to think that seen as we are 5 miles from an exchange that "very few would want fibre" and so seem to add capacity at the same rate as Ozzy Osbourne's speech... imbeciles! makes me think they're just milking the gov't for this superfast fund :confused:

It depend on what's their txt say after you txt summer100. If the replied txt ask you to topup in order to obtain the free data then I think your sim still valid.

well my Dan and Phil Sims ran out a few weeks ago was considering going Back to the 6 months for unlimited browesing and 1gb data anyone Recon they going to do anything like the free Dan and Phil sim cards this Year

how do you do a voucher topup on the sim just tried adding £5 but failed

I switched from Three to EE, they're **** and I never have any signal, always goes to Edge :\

Cheers OP, heat! Anyone know a cheap Huawei 4G usb stick ?

Hi

Just wanted to confirm something as I wanted to take advantage of the whole 6 months by ordering a few sims.

If I order the sims now how long can I wait before Itop them up.

If I am able to wait till the end of December before adding my tenner to the final sim then that should hopefully mean I won't need to start my data till late June so that would give me approx 8 months with these.

I do remember reading somewhere though that you have to top up within 14 days of receipt of the sims.

is this offer available throughout the year?

Will this work with my t mobile dongle usb thing?

Why don't they simply provide a £100 subscription deal?

Hi

appreciate your help again bayhabour, like on the summer sim. Its kind of Déjà vu this thread!

anyhow, where you sure about - 'you dont activate the data add on by just sending a text' I was always under the impression _ANY_ chargeable event on the sim i.e. not 150 but a phone call, using data or sending a text would automatically activate the sim. Or am I misunderstanding you?....it is late.

also any advice on post #129? thanks

thank youuuuu

Great deal. Thanks.

"Send to text once every six months to stop the sim being disabled. Your credit can be used for this without activating a pack."

Have you tested this OP and can confirm that the packs not activated? Thanks

OK just a theory NOT tested. Maybe after STOP PACK removes the data pack, the 100GB "add on" is only activated by data use not any chargeable event.

Done the summer deal 3 times, t and c wouldnt let me do 3rd top up so staying away but have some heat

Just texted CHRISTMAS100 to 150 (have not used sim since data ran out a few weeks ago) and got the message-

The 100GB promotion is only available to customers who order our pay as you go Christmas SIM. Get yours now at ee.co.uk/christmassim

How is it that it works for some but not others?

Seems rather odd to me. Really appreciate if someone could answer this

Cheers

maybe he will order a few sims and use each one for every 2 months for 6 months ?

Heat added, cheers OP - I'd like to use this for my laptop to get access to the web when not in wifi. Could someone recommend me a dongle type thing that'll allow me to do this please? Many thanks.

Hi Tomboy,

thanks for your reply what do you make of post #51 & #60 ?

#60 was appox 06.00am Friday, do you think EE 'pulled the plug' at breakfast time yesterday?

if so shame because these sims I was going to keep will become obsolete.

anyone else?


cheers

Ordered thanks

I have the summer SIM in a mifi, how do I check the balance on it, would rather not put the sim in a phone.

thanks op asked for the sim got one the last time this was on offer.

I think its working for others who ordered the sim but did not top-up and send the txt for the free data, my unused glastonbury sim works fine with christmas100,just topuped up £5 then send the txt.As you have used the free 200gb before your sim wont work.

Hello Kab600,
I dont get the meaning of "If you text STOP PACK to 150 after topping up but BEFORE using data (switch data off on your phone, the text will still go ok) it won't use your £10 before giving you the 100gb. So you can use the 2x100gb and still have £10 credit to activate afterwards whenever you wish" because statements are contradictory. Please check and correct, Thanks.

Anyone suggest the cheapest way to get EE osprey 2 mini?

I see, thanks I have two spare Summer sim I was lucky enough to be given still in their envelopes, they _should_ work then?

Also on the summer sim I topped up online with £10.00
I would prefer to only topup and STOP PACK £5.00 is this possible or do I have to invest £10.00?
(I already have a monthy data contract with EE so would never use the £10.00 or £5.00 credit)

thanks

What I really wanted to know from my question was do I have to top up within 14 days if I received the sims now or can I wait till the end of December?

just tried a glasto sim topped up with £5 then sent text. it told me no and i had to order a Christmas sim. how did some of u guys manage to get the pack and I didn't? thx

Ok, thanks. Gonna order a few

if i top u £5 or £10 then send the cancel text will i still get the data? if i do can i use the one pound weekly pakage on top of the free data?

i happily pay 30 quids a month for 100gb tetherable data!

id happily pay alot more for 100gb data aswell i work in security so use for netflix etc in work

good post but I believe '- If you have a sim from the last 100gb promo(s), it will activate this offer if you top up by £5 then text CHRISTMAS100 to 150'

to be out of date info, please prove me wrong!

can i use the same ee sim from the last deal?? in summer or do i need to order a new one

It was correct when I said it, but yes I understand EE may have moved the goalposts.

maybe these threads (not yours) are a 'double edge sword'!

So what is the "normal" SIM rate at the end of the 2 months? Says nothing about this on the web page as far as I can see.

sorry I see your point I thought you had to do that

info deleted

Yeah....one of my first Summer Sims runs out tomorrow. Will order another two of these for me and the missus.

These and loads of cheap NowTv boxes with 2 months movie passes and the jobs a good 'un!!

I'll check one of my summer ones. It still has £10 on it and 200GB where the clock hasn't started running yet.

Thanks for info, brilliant!

thx. ordered ☺

Some **** on Ebay trying to sell them for £29.99 each !! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111798999970?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

@mrgrimsby

You also have the following option ...

Between steps 6 and 7 as above ...

Text STOP PACK to 150 and then YES when asked to confirm. This will keep the £10 as credit on the sim, for you to use at a later date. This will not affect your 200gb.

Hi Piggy
your post #240 conflicts with your post #247

no comprendo!?

LOL peace brother!

My one Summer Sim with my 200GB unused seems to still be OK.

Add-ons currently in use

 100GB Free 100GB Free for 30 days, 30-days, expires

(Although it says it is" in use" the "expires" word changes to "expiring in 29 days 23 hours" etc. once the clock starts ticking)

I haven't had chance to read the whole of this new thread but is it the Sims that have used up the previous 200GB allowances that have been deactivated like the Glasto ones?

If so that's no big deal just order some new ones and put £10 new credit on. I wouldn't be too happy if my unused original £10 top up was lost but I plan to use or transfer that before the six month inactivity rule kicked in anyway.

totally agree, just order another....one......, this is an exceptional deal and quite a suprise we want to support EE so they offer this promo 3 or 4 times a year.

I just hope EE keep going with these 100GB sim offers. Will keep me going forever!
Any idea if previously used postal addresses can still be used to receive these Christmas sims? If they start blocking duplicate addresses then I am stuffed.
Idea: knock on every door in your street and offer them £5 for each sim they will receive for you. Reckon you would get lots of takers.

When you say transfer, I have a monthly account with EE as well as this PAYG account would that be possible?

How would you transfer an unused sim? I not going to scummy it on ebay, I think like you I'm sure, thats wrong.

ebay seller coffin_joe(110) definitely deserves a week in piggy999's 'hair shirt' no doubt about that, maybe even two weeks actually.

Ever noticed you never see coffin_Joe and piggy999 online at the same time?
Just sayin' , that's all. Just sayin' .....

I have managed to get both of the last 2 offers to the same address i..e 2 sims each time totalling 4 SIMs - orders were a few months apart though

Im planning on ordering this offer at the end of december to leave as much time as possible between orders - I suspect but dont know for certain that there might be some sort of 2 sims every 3 months limit like there is with most other SIm orders

Giffgaff gives you 100mbs of data plus 100mins and 300 text for £5pm plus free £5 when you activate which costs £10. Works out a better deal than EE

I've never been able to transfer money to my monthly direct debit main phone contract but I did once get customer service to transfer money across from one PAYG sim to another so I could buy a bigger pack. It was by phoning them up so no guarantee.

can I buy any ee pay as you go sim and still get it? or do I have to order it from the website?

I didn't mislead anyone. The info was correct when I wrote it.

I managed to get in on the 100GB deal after hearing about it 2 weeks after already ordering a SIM. Simple text with the code and I was in. Then heard about the SUMMER100 promotion, gave it a chance and got in on that one, too. Didn't have to top up at all for the SUMMER100 promotion. But damn, I have tried this one a few times, both before and after topping up, but get denied saying it's for promotional SIMs only.

Doesn't look like there is any way around this since it seems that the EE team have locked it out. Unless anybody has any ideas? I got no issue putting credit on my SIM for this since this is my primary, anyway.

Anybody got any insight into the possibility of getting one of these promotional SIMs and then transferring my number and credit over to it? I know it can be done with credit, but transferring a number from one SIM to another within the same network?

absolutely not his fault when that was written people were using their old summer sims and glasto sims and topping up no problem. Breakfast time Friday EE 'flicked the switch'. If you read the posts it happened after 6.00am on Friday, thats not his fault buddy.

The switch was flicked after post #112

OP: You're my hero. I'm sat here in a new apartment with 50mb left on my second month of 100GB while waiting for an internet line to be installed that continues to get delayed and wondering what I'm going to do in the mean time. :smiley:

but a courtesy apology wouldn't hurt ^^

Can someone please clarify... So say if i order the sim now, I have up until 29th December to activate and redeem the data? Or do you have to activate within a certain number of days of the sim being sent out?

As kab600's legal advisor, I have instructed him not to apologise and to take the fifth amendment.
If anyone wants to sue, be warned that we fight hard and dirty. See you in court.

can some one help me out whats all this unactivated business i love this deal and would love to be able to do this every 2 months how can i keep unactivated ones??

I currently have an EE SIM that has my personal/private number. Swapping it out for a SIM that has a load of data isn't ideal if I have to lose my current number.
I can't see me shelling out the expense for a MiFi device, but I would take the little effort to migrate my number from this EE SIM over to a new EE SIM that has the promotional data available.

If I had a dual-sim phone then I'd be all over this already :wink:

I would highly recommend the Osprey 2 mifi, £50 new or £25 used on ebay

Are you for real? I posted accurate info. People followed my advice and now have 200gb of data on their old sims. Apparently (although I have no information either way on this) EE MAY have stopped the practice. But then for all I know people are doing it wrong. There are plenty of posts discussing this, so anyone topping up now should have followed the discussion in the thread. But you think I should apologise?

Could you confirm how long I need to keep an eye on this thread to ensure a post I made on the first page remains accurate? After all, I may have lots of apologising to do if anything I say becomes inaccurate at a later date.

Would it actually work any better than my old HTC phone that I use for these EE sim cards ? (2nd phone)

I'm certain having read through the thread (I rely totally on EE for broadband as I cant get landline where I live) that EE blocked old sims around post #112. ie Friday morning well after your post.
Really carpetiemjay YOU should be doing the apologising to Kab because you didn't read the thread through and do a bit of due diligence before spending your fiver, if it is so precious to you!.

Kab was only trying to help.

Cant comment on what you have used already, but I have been very happy with the Osprey mifi, I use it with a tablet for watching YouTube etc and its great, 5 or 6 hour battery life, what speed you get will depend completely on the 4G signal where you are, but I get 20 to 30Mb/sec in london

Yes of course. There is no 4G on my old HTC so I may have to order one of those by the looks of it. Just tested my signal at work from my main phone which has EE card in it and it hits 30mb/s margin (Xperia z2 with 4G). So I would limit myself to 3G only if I was to stay with my old HTC. No brainer :stuck_out_tongue:

Which HTC (2nd phone) do you have, some do have hotspot capabilities http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/465106.html
But if it did work no way would it be quicker than Piggys osprey 2 or the 4g modem I use as the chips are meant for data only use.
What is your speedtest for EE in your area & what are you looking to do?


update just read your post ^ it really depends on what you're looking to do, will this be your main source for the internet?

It will be used as my main source of internet at work, connected via laptop. Last time this deal was on I have used my htc desire hd and pretty much limited myself to slower speeds as I completely forgot how old that HTC is and obviously there is no 4G on it. Considering all this I shall get one of those Osprays and benefit from higher speeds once my new christmas sim arrives. As I said my xperia z2 which has EE sim in it gets just under 30 mb/s (North West).

Definitely worth a look, thanks Piggy.

I decided to just go ahead and order 2 SIMs just in case. I know two family members that would likely need them regardless, but it gave me an error when trying to order a second one. I am aware that it is 1 per person, 2 per household, but it states "Sorry, only one special edition sim per person". The only thing the same is the address... How did everybody else manage to order two? :s

Anyway, I can just swap out my current SIM if I need lots of fast data or look at getting a MiFi device if EE keeps doing this regularly.

EDIT: Looks like it needs a separate email address for it to class as a separate person. Fair enough.

They can't really enforce the 14 day deadline due to possible postal delays. So long as you activate it by 29th December it should be OK. I had one of my summer sims for over a month before topping up near the end of August deadline.

Bought new they come witha 6GB sim included, which, as you will have your 200GB Christmas sim, or sims, you can chuck on ebay and sell for a tenner, lowers the price to £40 for the device

Ah...I just ordered two lol
Looks like I've got an early Christmas present for somebody then

Down to £12.98 now.:confused: He's really pushing his luck. £9.99 & I'll might consider it.:laughing:

Relaaax. I'm not actually mad at him. Was trying to inform people that the five quid top up on summer sims doesn't work but I suppose I could have communicated that better. No need to have an aneurysm.


See you in court :wink:

no problem, I'm more worried about you getting piggys 'hair shirt' treatment for a week for being so naughty!
Although that looks as if its spoken for by ebay seller coffin_ joe for at least the next couple of weeks!!
peace

yes it turns out I was wrong

this evening I sent a test text on an sim Ive had for 4 months with an unactivated 100gb add on & the add on immediately activated - Im surprised at this since sending a text doesnt use any data

only possible hope now would be to start up a £1 data pack instead & hope that stops it from activating i..e. it wouldnt activate because of the 100mb data pack allowance OR alternatively do a further £5 top up

Ive heard mention in the past of people being able to do a £1 top up instore ? - is this still possible ?

as far as post 129 goes - I dont know if you can use a 'used' SIM from a previous offer to get another 100gb allowance - someone needs to test for this & report - the answer may already be above but I havent read the whole thread

I thought that any chargable text or call or data use will start the add on clock ticking. (The first post implies otherwise and it just comes out of your £10 credit)

Hi Bayharbour, sorry you've activated your summer sim in error but that will have the 60 days and 200 GB from now.
The old sims dont work on the Christmas offer unfortunately, andwered soon after messaging you, thanks anyway for your reply, dont forget to apply for some more Christmas offer sims!, cheers

Hi , sorry if I sound a bit simple, but would appreciate if somebody could kindly explain how or if I could benefit from this offer,( as I've had problems with talk talk WiFi),could I use the ee osprey mifi broadband box etc to get mobile data ,and if so how would I make the txts to activate or stop etc?
I have read all the previous posts but still unsure if I can put this SIM in the ee box and all the family can use the internet /mobile data in various products, ie iPad air at same time as smartphones.
Again sorry if it's a daft question, but appreciate any help..thanx in advance.

does EE do 50 quids for 100gb a month? where is the deal?

the most that i could see on ee website is 25gb for 30 quids

Must order one

Silly question, but can I use this plugged into my vita or simply tether from a phone as a hot shot?

I voted hot, but it really bothers me that EE only seem to care about new customers , not existing ones.

Did anyone order and receive a confirmation email? I ordered 4 but no emails at all

no dispatch at weekend allan, hopefully tomorrow

Ordered two SIMs...thanks OP !!

Can someone please tell me step-by-step on what needs to be done?

1) I get the SIMs
2) I put in my phone and switch off the mobile data
3) I top up the SIM with £10
3) I then text CHRISTMAS100 to 150 to start my 100GB per month for 2 months pack ?
4) If then text STOP PACK to 150 to disallow using the data pack from the £10 topup?

What if I want to use one SIM for Nov-Dec to get free data on my tablet and then use the second sim for Jan-Feb data?

How do I delay using the second SIM till then? Do I need to top-up now and do STOP PACK and then text CHRISTMAS100 in Jan ?

Thanks in advance for clarifying !!

texting CHRISTMAS100 to 150

Ithankyou ,Sstuff and Sstuff for the information. Appreciated.

And thankyou Koolkai too

hi guys what do you think of this deal??

We used to have talk talk home broadband, it was cheap, no problems, steady 10Mb/sec, we used about 50GB per month with no problems

I don't get the point of this? 2 months usage, just seems like a massive gimmick.

Hi,
Ordered the SIM & it said that it must be activated 14 days after arrival.

What steps do I need to do make the data available for the Dec 2015 & Jan 2016?
Do I wait until the 1st Dec 2015 before doing the top up, would this work?

Cheers.

Been with talktalk for years now, phone service is good and good customer service,had international boost £5 for 500 minutes international..which is initially why we are still with them until now,broadband always been problem , maybe as we have got afew gadgets (or maybe that's average per household lol), 4 smartphones, 2 ipads, and a laptop that we use occasionally use but until now been benefiting from value line rental and 10% speedy payment etc, but now this is no longer available from Dec 1st, so will have to stick to finishing the rest of contract left. Mainly broadband gets bad when weather is bad ,which is nearly all time here in UK . Had the ovivo data SIM for a week in the iPad air for mobile data before they went down ,so need mostly mobile data for iPad etc for little one to keep occupied in journeys etc.
We also have 3 mobile Sims with talk talk ,they are brilliant for an adult ,as I'm paying £3.75 for a couple of hundred minutes n unlimited txts,+3 gb data, but it's no good for a teenager, my boy came up with £300+ Bill twice for goin over internet usage for a couple of hours, called talk talk ,they did , after a lot of persuasion credit half the amount bk to my account,but in long run if u work it out having paid all the excess charges ,not worth it, rather go with Tesco who stop service after going over £2.50 etc ,whats the point of me saving a couple of pounds per month when my boy comes up with hundreds of pounds Bill for couple hours,,, lol I'm laughing now but at the time I was doing no such thing ,as u can imagine,,, ... so these are the 2 main reasons for needing mobile data ,talk talk don't have a cap as such, did say they have a £5 credit limit(useless),then we get an alert,but no good as its too late by then as the account dznt show proper usage until updated,which takes 24-48 hours, told talk talk to completely stop his mobile data service, so he uses only WiFi , hope thats understandable..my boy will be leaving talk talk mobile as soon as contract over.
Also tried WiFi boosters etc for home to improve WiFi,but still struggling. So cousin recommended this white ee box.
So thanx guys ,if any body has recommendations or solutions, will be much appreciated.

if you go to the apple app store download speedtest.net make sure you are connected to wi-fi & also no family member is downloading or using wi-fi while doing test.

What download, upload & ping are you getting on average from three tests on wi-fi with speedtest.net?

Also download from apple app store an app called 'fing' and run test are you getting any IP conflicts? (shows a '2')

ps I would run test near router

just boughted a three sim 20£, unlimited 3/4 g internet, but thru hot spot, only 8gb/month, somebody know if I can find a sim with unlimited internet to phone and thru hot spot?, I don't have an internet conn where I live so i meed a little help, I can not install internet from nobody because the owner doesn't want that..

This is an outstanding deal and thanks to OP for posting it.

It is worth taking at least three sims to give you 6 months coverage.

To summarise the process (and piggy999, please correct me if I am wrong):

1 - Insert each sim into a dumb phone within 14 days of receiving it
2 - add £10 credit (you can do this by buying a £10 top up voucher for cash from a shop) to each sim you have received.
3 - Once £10 credit is on the sim, text CHRISTMAS100 to 150 on each sim you have received.
4 - You will receive an auto text confirming 200GB has been added to each sim.
5 - Text STOP PACK to 150. This will keep the £10 as credit on the SIM for use AFTER the 200GB data has been consumed (the £10 credit can be used for either calls or additional data).
6 - Take each sim out of the dumb phone and store till you need to activate the data.
7 - When ready to use a sim, insert it into a mifi unit or a smartphone with data enabled and enjoy 100GB for 2 months. (NB: The data should be activated within 6 months of step 5.)
8 - At the end of the 2 months / 200GB, you still have £10 credit which can be used to buy additional data or for calls.

If I have missed anything in my process to optimise the value of this deal, please correct me by reply post.

Thanks and enjoy!

I have an old EE sim the summer 100GB. Can I use that to get this new promo?

Are these sims also good for dual sim phones?

Not tried a dual sim phone, may look into..

Can I have 1 sim for main calling use and 2nd sim just of internet, but can be fine for replacing 2nd sim with these types off offers ?

do these come into effect immediately?
my summer sim ends 5 days

Just ask a family or friend to order one for you & send it to you. Far cheaper than paying a scummy seller.

Really? Your comment has been submitted, but has been added to the moderation queue for review. it will be viewable once approved.:neutral_face:

The funny thing is about this seller, he is clearly not even getting the sims himself and the posting them in to you after you have paid him ...... he is literally just copying your name and address into the sim order page (after you have paid him 12 quid on eBay) and EE will just post the sim to you like with all other applications !!!!! What a cheeky barsteward!

ordered many thanks

Can you only order 2 cards?

+ the risk of harvesting your details to be resold to marketing companies even though 9 to sell. All the more reasons not to buy from this selller ever even if changing the ID.

Holy sheet! 1 sold. Own up, who bought it? :confused:

We all should really weed out these scumbags exploitation.

I want to know how piggy would deal with him (assuming flea bay seller bankrupt_acc isn't piggy)?!

We won't know who is hiding behind the ID just as the same as on here but at least post the listing here for all to see when you find one. The more exposure to these scumbag sellers, the more folks know what they are doing, trying to rip off unsuspecting buyers.

OP posted this deal is available direct from EE for £10 top-up who can send SIM to you then why go via another 3rd party just to pass your details to fill it for your behalf. The sellers don't even have address details listed on their liastings. If the sellers have a genuine item/service to offer then why hide behind a smokescreen?

Are folks really that lazy bone idle to do it themselves? If that's the case, then you have no sympathies from me.

Hopefully we will get emai confirmation when these get despatched tomorrow.

I still think piggy will come up with the answer to deal with scummy seller.
I have the feeling piggy may use words 'london, tower, hair shirt, months / possibly years, stocks, chain mail and crusaders' for backrupt_acc fate.

Ordered. Thanks

Great deal..... (re: ebay sellers. Exploiting market knowledge is what most sellers do. Don't really see the moral difference but I am sure you can enlighten me?)

Re. the people selling these sims for£12 etc ......

I put it down to ignorance on the part of the buyers, nothing more. They think they are buying a sim direct from an eBay seller.Little do they know he is simply typing in their details into the EE website. They obviously do not know that the sims are free from EE.
You want to stop him doing this? Simply contact eBay and report his listing as illegal activity. Because it is 100% illegal to use someone's personal details in that way without their permission. EBay will remove his listing in a heartbeat.

Personally I am not bothered. Is it moral or immoral? Not sure. But there are much worse things out there toget upset about

What about the 1month non-usage deactivation clause? To make sure your sim isn't deactivated you have to make a telephone call atleast once a month apparently?

It is a six month clause I believe, unless EE have changed it? Please provide a link to the info if you know better, thanks.

my tuppance worth :

there have been numerous ebay sellers that have been dropshipping these SIMs all year (eg just check back thru completed listings which goes back 3 months)

at the moment because the offer has just started there arent many sellers advertising then but if you check again in a week or two then I suspect there will probably be at least 5 to 10 sellers offering them & the price will come down to a few quid

if sellers offering them upsets some people so much then you can try reporting them or alternatively you can create a informational only auction that provides the information for free

I'd also wondering why people are checking ebay in the first place (eg are they considering doing something similiar ?) & the reasons why some people seem so vitriolic towards such sellers (eg do they have some sort of vested interest such as wanting to sell there own sims & are annoyed that sellers dropshipping them are reducing the price)

this type of selling goes on all the time on ebay ie. sellers exploiting market knowledge &/or various forms of arbitrage

The connection action that you have to make once every 180 days to keep the card active could that be a non chargeable text to 150?

anybody got the email confirmation please none for me.

Calm doon lol...It's a SIM card being sent out....Not a Lamborghini :P

no confirmation for me yet.

soo I have 2 of the sims from the last promotion. Can I top up by £5 to get this or not? Anyway to check it will work before I top up?

I've just had a confirmation email to say my sim is on its way :sunglasses:

Thanks mate, just ordered a new sim. Wouldn't it be great if you could just pay £5 a month for data without messing about.

I applied when it was first posted comment #13. I didn't apply for a summer sim I had a Glastonbury sim which worked with the summer sim offer

okay thanks, so it looks like you can reapply ....I guess using the same details.

I make it you got confirmation almost exactly 24 hours later if you take the weekend out of the equation.
Including the weekend then almost exactly three days.
But you will have been one of the very first to apply, there may be a back log as time went on.

I'm pleased for you anyhow,

thanks again,

Deany

@deany

Is there any confirmation yet that the glasto sims will NOT work for this with a £5 top up?
Summer sims seem not to work with £5, that is clear now.
Plus, do you have any thoughts on the method I PMed you about to possibly extend the shelf life of the 200GB past six months, has it been tried previously with glasto sims?

Just got a confirmation.

Hello Xx,
Your Christmas SIM is whizzing its way to you on a flying sleigh, along with 100GB of free data a month for two months – that’s enough to watch the 100 best Christmas movies of all time on your mobile. Yep, all of them. In bed. Eating chocolate.
Why not share the festive spirit by tweeting your friends to let them know about all the free data they could get this Christmas?

Ordered Saturday afternoon. Confirmation email received lunchtime today. Exactly the same name, address and email account as summer sim.

Confirmation received :smiley:

Thanks for that.

Would sending a chargeable text also start the clock on the 2 months of 100GB data?

Cheers op, will read comments but this could be useful :smile:

yes

thanks got my email about one hour ago.

So……. Just for the hard of thinking 3 sim cards for personal use would appear to be the optimum?

New to HUKD - just wondering how this EE thing works. I have ordered two sims and not sure how people are getting more then two months and even in some cases over a year? Since dont you have to top up by 29th December

that seems like the optimum number, yep.

Thanks for the info.

Just ordered two more for relatives* for Xmas and confirmation emails coming thru' within half an hour of ordering.

* Hoping one will be an unwanted present! :wink:

just got my confirmation email lads :sunglasses:

I'm looking to get a SIM for a MIFI, should I get this or should I go for the £20 T-Mobile deal with 6 months data? I'll only be using it for browsing here and there, nothing major. 100GBs overkill, isn't it? But, will I be allowed to use the T-Mobile SIM in a MIFI?

Cheers :innocent:

What would be the best way for me to use this. EE don't use o2's servers do they.

I've just got a giffgaff sim for £20 a month its unlimited data although 256kbps after 6 or 8GB. My phones locked to o2 but giffgaff use them. Since i can't get a phone line this seems the cheapest way to be online, cheaper per month than any dongles.
If i wanted to just use up all the data from this does anyone know the cheapest phone you can buy with mobile tethering. I'd get it 2nd hand off ebay. I have a really cheap phone just now and it doesn't seem to connect as reliably as the old more expensive phone i had.
Or would it be cheaper to get the phone unlocked whats average price these days.
I thought there might have existed a device to plug the sim into then into your laptop and use the data that way
I saw what looked like some old Samsung galaxy mini , think 3rd generation in a shop window grade c for £25. As long as the tethering function still works thats all this phone will exist for.

Do you have to top up pay as you go credit as well?

Do anyone also know if EE do a sim wheres calls/text is taken out of cash credit?

I have beden using about 50GB per month, plenty of YouTube etc.
Better too much data available than too little. I would go through 6gigs in a weekend.
Funny thing is, we have BT fibre at home, 30Mb/sec .....its just that the EE data tastes a little bit sweeter for some reason ...

Fibre only came to our village last month and I haven't signed up yet ..and I'm delaying it even longer now due to these sims. I get 6mbps now on the home broadband but over 40 on my EE 4G mifi.

Christmas100 didn't work on my summer sim but I was able to get 10gb of data by texting Aug10 to 150

Confirmation email today:
Hello,
Your Christmas SIM is whizzing its way to you on a flying sleigh, along with 100GB of free data a month for two months – that’s enough to watch the 100 best Christmas movies of all time on your mobile. Yep, all of them. In bed. Eating chocolate.
Why not share the festive spirit by tweeting your friends to let them know about all the free data they could get this Christmas?

Have ordered a Christmas sim and noticed that it said you have to top it up within 14 days of receipt. I will order a second one mid December.

My 2nd month of 100gb had expired beginning of October. I text the stoppack to 150, but it didn't go through. I then topped up with 10.00 and my 30 day pack started again. I then did the Aug10 text and it worked.

Although I'm in the sticks it does have its advantages as I'm lucky enough to live within line of sight to a double speed 4G transmitter with no buildings to get in the way!

What's the difference between this and my current 4G?
Double speed 4GEE delivers even faster speeds than our standard 4G – raising the average 4G speed experienced to 24-30Mbps, and offering peaks as high as 60Mbps.


My best result...

10gb lasts for 30 days only. It shows as waiting in my status list and should kick in when I use the 1gb in the data pack.

I had been trying to use the TEN code to 150 from a previous offer on a friend's sim. I ended up speaking to customer services and got a couple of codes to try. AUG10 was one and as I got the sim in august I thought I would take the chance.

Deany can you test this? On a previously used summersim which still has the original £10 credit, but no active pack.
My used summersim has no credit and I do not want to add £10 to get (maybe) just 10gigs.

P.S. I have already tried sep10, oct10, nov10, ben10, fantastic4, renault5 ......

Other codes, none of which worked for me were SL10 and RWC10, I have the original query escalated with customer services so may get more to try.

any good standalone mifi to go with this sim?

Hi Piggy
tried all codes on this page inc AUG10 and Aug10 and got message 'Sorry, but the 10GB offer is not available to you. So I've just checked my https://myaccount.ee.co.uk account (this was a STOP PACK sim) used up 2 weeks ago. Expecting to see £10 credit, but it shows ZERO credit!
I've not used the sim except 150 & data as I have a pay monthly contract phone.....so obviously the credit goes when the data is used and offer is switched off.

Not really bothered to be honest because 00.05p a GB is so reasonable I don't expect it to be FREE!- but was surprised credit is gone.

Hey Ho, such is life, hope this helps.

ps Maybe if I put a tenner on & text Aug10 I'd get 10 GB but thats £1.00 a GB, I "only'' pay 00.55p at present so its not viable for me.

That's a pain Deany! My data ran out last night and I still have £10 showing. I best buy a pack if its going to disappear.

Not that I dont beleive you but can anyone else confirm when it disappears please?

@deany

I will pray for you, mate ......

Dear Lord,

Bless our Deany and guide him right
Thru his sleepless, restless night
You must have heard, you might've read it
Those EE gits have nicked his credit

Amen

Dear Piggy,

Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful prayer, especially for me.

No one has ever done that before and it did bring a slight tear to my eye, thank you.

I am full of forgiveness for EE.

I here by promise never to hold it against them.

Just hope they don't nick your bloomin' tenner as well thats all.!

Cheers,

Deany

I'm going to buy a pack this morning before it goes... if it will let me!!

I've never been an EE customer so bear with me :smiley: I need texts and call time, can you use the £10 credit to buy these if so what are my options (Their website is confusing to me)

Their T&Cs state this about packs...
Data Pack: Services are UK only. Packs recur automatically every 30 days. If you don’t have credit to pay for recurring Packs at the end of 30 days, you will have 90 days to top up before we automatically cancel your Pack

I know you had credit Deany but maybe it's 90 days from when you said STOP PACK that because you haven't got a "live" pack they assume you don't want to renew one and bang goes your £10 credit.

Answers on a postcard please!

The £10 data pack gives you this... Data:1GB Minutes:50 Texts: 50
...... for the first 30 days and the free 100GB for two months data kicks in when your 1 GB runs out

The talk time and texts would run out after 30 days I believe as this is primarily a data sim.

Hi Kar

Just checked my e-mails and the summer sim was dispatched on the 28/07/15 so I would have topped up on or around the 29 or 30th of July'15 so I make that very nearly but _not quite_ 90 days.

no worries

Gonna try to contact EE to see what they say. I don't want to lose £10 but equally no point starting a pack that will be wasted as I want to use our second 100GB sim soon.

But as you say, £10 for 200GB is a superb deal in itself and we'll worth paying.

I suppose its worth a try, Sim ordered.
Heat added

Postcode search not working for me either, is there another way round this to get the SIM ordered?

just enter your postal code
if error
click 'my address isn't listed' & enter 'manually'
if still problems try different browser or device

hope this gets your sim

Hit CTRL+F5 to refresh/reload the order page if the postcode checker is not working... worked for me :sunglasses:

Just ordered - Heat added.

Offshore EE Cust Service say I need to make a chargeable transaction (call or text) every 3 months and the clock started ticking was when my 2 x 100GB data ran out (i.e last weekend) and NOT when I topped up.
I'm not convinced the guy knew what he was talking about though as he didn't seem too sure and in my mind the 2 x100GB was a freebie add-on not a chargeable event.

Your loss of £10 deany76 also seems to back that up.

I think I'm going to buy a £1 pack and use the sim in my Nexus 7 3G

@kar

Can you test the AUG10 text once you have bought a pack? I want to know if it works with summer sims which have credit and a current active pack. If that's the case then it will at least be useful for old summer sims.

@piggy... Will do later and post back.

Just wondering whether all this new info affect the six month life of the sim?
I have a summer sim with 200GB ready and waiting, intend to start using it in december. The sim was activated in August.
All should still be OK?

@stemcell - You would be much better off buying the £10 Everything pack instead (text EP10 before doing anything else) - you get 150 mins, unlimited texts and 500MB data. That gives you lots more mins and texts than the £10 Data pack does in exchange for only half as much data... but since you're also getting 100GB/month free on top then I don't think losing that 0.5GB matters!

Oh, and I know this works because I did it with the summer deal.

fantastic!!!!

I'm curious, do you have to pay £10 and be on the Data Bundle in order to qualify for the 200GB promotion?
Or would it be possible to use a small, 1 week bundle and still benefit from the promotion?

I know that on my main EE sim that I use for everything that I cancelled by bundle and chose instead to just use my credit for any texts and calls that I make, but was still able to get in on the SUMMER100 promotion.

no hes asking if its possible to tx
t STOP PACK to stop £10 credit being deducted but still get the 200gb and then use £10 credit to buy weekly bundle......id like to know aswell?

also is the £5 top up on the summer sims also not working?

also what is last the date i can top up....if i receive sim on 29th dec can i still get offer if i top up on 12th jan? or later still?

I topped up £10, and the money was automatically taken for the pack, however i cancelled it before, so i called EE and they explained that it was the wrong pack, i said i canceled the pack before i topped up, and wanted another ( or you can say you wanted credit), and they changed it for me :smiley:

Edit: This was on the summer sim

I ordered my SIM online from EE without there being any promotion. I was kinda bummed out since they announced the 100GB promotion 2 weeks later. I gave it a try, and it worked. I was then also able to get in on the SUMMER100 promotion but I wasn't on any active pack deal at the time.
Technically, it may not have been a "normal" SIM. I did choose the DATA pack which was online only. But no, there was no promotions that I knew of at the time when I requested the SIM that I use as my personal SIM. OH, and my number for the EE SIM is a number that I migrated over from Three(3)

Exactly this, yes.

Ok, thanks for reply. Maybe they sent you a promo sim as it was at the same time.
Although it seems that EE make up the rules as they go along, some thing are allowed,xsome not, for no reason. A but erratic.
Anyway, to answer your question ......

With the summer sims it was possible to do all the things you ask.
One assumes it will be the same with the Christmas sims.
One assumes .....

Bought £1 pack out of my £10 and once confirmed tried AUG10 to 150... no reply at all

Still have £9 credit and left pack to recur (for now) so will be putting this sim in my Nexus 7 3G so as not to waste it.

Crazy. No reply?????
EE is a really crazy erratic set up I reckon.
Generous one minute, mental the next.
Like having a rich drunken uncle, who might buy you a Porsche for your birthday ... or a packet of polos, depending on his mood

Got a reply when I tried Christmas 100 albeit negative!

hot

Thanks for the feedback.
Let's see what kind of results come back from this.

I have to agree though, EE can be real erratic. And don't get me started on their website functionality. I've had to call about some problem with my account before and when trying to get my number updated properly on my SIM they ended up making it 14 digits long lol

Their coverage is great which is why I go for it. Their prices...well, kinda high if you're not on a pack. But OK I guess. These promotions just ensure I stay with them.

I used my summer sim and topped up £5, sent the Christmas text and they said I need to top up atleast £10 so I put another £5, ended saying the same thing.
Possibly could be because I've used about 3 random packs after the summer 100gb finished?

Might have to just wait for my Christmas sim to arrive.

Also, could someone explain to me how they delay the data , to make it stretch over a longer period of time.
Many thanks

I'll follow those steps as soon as I recieve my SIM cards.
Many many thanks for your help.

hi, i ordered my sim on Friday morning. got a confirmation email on Monday but i still haven't received my sim and today is Wednesday.Anyone else received there's yet ?

just got mine now i ordered on friday also

just got mine 30 mins ago.

looks like Mondays dispatch are arriving today then. Good news.

Can someone confirm the STOP PACK is all okay?

just got my sim aswell and i ordered during the day on friday

received mine today... toped-up with £10... texted Christmas100 to 150 - and a big surprise.... received a text back - The 100GB promotion is only available to customers who order our Christmas SIM!

Does anyone have the same issue?

Someone forgot to 'flick a switch' at EE, not very good actually.

Have they managed to activate the deal then?

They have just rang back trying to sort it now also looks like EE have put the wrong addon on the sim as it's a 500mb pack instead of the 1gb data plan stated in the leaflet, maybe why it hasn't worked.

Well they have changed the addon to the data pack of 1gb , 50 texts and 50 min like the leaflet says it should be but when I text CHRISTMAS100 I am still getting the message saying I need to order a christmas sim

EE have set the first batch sims out, before activating the offer on the sims, by the looks of it.

oh dear doesn't look good for all you cheapskates

:laughing:

ee cock up again.

why are we 'cheapskates'!?

£5.00 a month is what 4g 'broadband' should be in the UK away.

Especially is it is the only form of 'broadband' you can get, due to distance from the exchange!

because it's not real internet

if you want real internet you have to pay virgin media.

having exact same issue, sim not recognised as Christmas one...spoke to customer services who say this offer does not exist even though I'm holding the envelope in my hand

I get 55 MB download on EE at home is that not very fast??
and I get 40–50 kbit/s download on everything else at home nb kbit NOT MB = dialup.

if you read properly you'll notice I didn't type anything about virgin mobile

I compare home broadband with mobile data because where where I live I CAN'T GET HOME BROADBAND and EE speeds are faster than most of my friends and relatives that can.

that was painful...had to insist on speaking to a supervisor, they say within 72 hours they should have rectified the issue with the sim not being recognised as Xmas one.

What's your problem?

you really don't know thier situation.
For example,
Some people have just moved into a new home (like me) and need something temporary.

This thread was full of helpful people until you made that statement

Oh dear. Got it just now, great stuff I thought. 1 min ltr problem city. Wtf sim have they sent us? 72 hrs to fix this is asking for my local ee shop to be raised to the ground!. And ill do it! I've got no internet so I've got nothing to lose!

Don't be to hard on gabberandy probably only joking.

Also thanks to the people who got on to ee pronto. I've just left them phone wise so couldn't stomach calling them again. Ta

I don't have any problems, you do, that's why you'll need to wait 72 hours
:smile:

55-60Mbps down and 18Mbps up with a latency of around 40-50ms and no torrent sites blocked whatsoever...
I'd call that pretty real internet if you ask me. Yes, the ping times may be an issue for gamers but I'm not a gamer and have found these SIMs to be absolutely brilliant for my needs for the past year.

COMPLETE NIGHTMARE - received my christmas100 sim today in the post from EE. Topped it up £10 from my Visa. It then automatically gave me a pack with 500mb data and unlimited txts and when I txt CHRISTMAS100 to 150 it tells me Promo only available to customers who 9order our payg Christmas Sim.

The Sim pack I have been sent clearly is the Christmas Sim it says Christmas all over it and gives instructions to txt CHRISTMAS100 to 150, yet the sim inside according to EE is not a Christmas Sim WTF???

Called 150 and spoke with Bombay Bob who spoke so fast I questioned if he'd had 6 lines of coke previous to my call and 4 cans of Red Bull. Any way Bombay bob was clueless as to what the Christmas100 Sim deal was and questioned if it really existed and insisted I provide him with the link to EE's website showing the deal and after a extremely frustrating 10 minutes of spelling out the link: shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee to him he insisted that the link would not work from his computer? complete joke. I then asked to talk to manager and explained everything again and have now been told to wait 3 to 5 days for them to fix it? FFS Worst customer service EVER!

Can anyone confirm the sim works when topping up £10? I text Christmas100 just for curiosity before I top up and its saying you need a Christmas sim for this offer.

Yeah it is nothing
pay £10 then you can install titan betting app and withdraw the money through paypal straight away

so for the people that has not topped up yet do we just wait until its fixed

4G or 3G?

just received mine in post
what shall i do ?

Has anyone topped up and used the 1gb data first? That needs to be used before the 100 activates I believe.

I'm waiting. Have a £10 voucher ready but there's no way I'm cashing in before ee get their **** together.

EE promo FAIL!

Are they normally this incompetent ?

Polity find a cliff to jump off pal.. the nightmare is not receiving the100gb the nightmare was the phone call to their idiotic customer service team.

It's not a belief I was told this by EE, it has also applied to the previous 100gb sims.

Thanks for reply kind regards.

Just got mine but think I'll be leaving it for now :neutral_face:

Phoning EE is the biggest waste of time. Hope is gets sorted.

feel sorry for all you cheapskates who thought they'd get 200gb for ten pounds, lol

Waiting for yify.

Hi, I believe the Christmas offer wouldn't work with my summer sim because I had bought random data packs after my summer promo finished.

If you check the first few comments some people had left thier summer sim alone after the promo ended and managed to get the Christmas offer by only topping up £5/£10.

If you have a summer sim you could try the £5.

So yes you do need to order a new sim. (Although now there seems to be problems with actually activating the offer) hope that helps

Exploit- I was thinking the same thing *big fat L.O.L*

excuse me, I didn't fall for this scam

check your messages

i just got my Sim today and topped up, i text christmas100 and got a text back saying "The promotion is only available to customers who order are Christmas Sim" but i phoned up EE and told them that it was an Xmas Sim i received today, and was told i would automatically get my 100gb once my 1gb etc runs out.

Lol how can it be a scam ?

you've gave ee ten pounds and haven't got your 100gb, right?

Scam? This offer's been repeated many times over the past year and I've been enjoying it since then. £5/month for 100GB 4G data isn't a scam at all.

come 72 hours when the problem is suppose to be fixed, you guys still won't have your 100gb that you were promised

bye bye ten pounds!

why is anyone entertaining the **** lol.....he is obviously out to wind people up...must lead an extremely boring life Zzzzzzzzzz...ignore it...and it will go away

No i haven't even opened my sim yet

When you text christmas100 to 150 you get this reply now so looks like they're fixing it.

"Sorry but we have a technical issue at the moment. We hope to have this fixed shortly and will let you know as soon as you can request your free data again"

this isn't the place to be sleeping, don't you have a bed?

Hi all,

I just tried the CHRISTMAS100 code again on the official EE Xmas SIM and got this back:

“Sorry but we have a technical issue at the moment. We hope to have this fixed shortly and will let you know as soon as you can request your free data again.”

Anyone else getting this?

should be fixed in 72 hours they said

probably not

^^^ Don't feed this Troll, obviously it's got no friends so comes on here to wind people up.

Major Troll Alert !!

Still using my second Summer Sim 2 x 100GB of Free data so can afford to wait :smile:

(..... and I still have £9 credit on my first summer sim used last two months)

Thanks for the updates, ain't going to bother putting the SIM in until reports of success filter through. Oh and Scott D if you're reading this, you suck. :stuck_out_tongue:

we know. no need to warn us

Maybe the Stop Pack loophole gave EE pause for thought.

I revoke my earlier comment #480

Agreed with you there.
Also, this problem may related to the old summer sim not recognised the xmas code, and may be £5 topup issue.

it is easy to check if your sim is affected - check your pack name - should be DATA Pack not Anytime Pack

An easier way would be to text CHRISTMAS100 to 150 before topping up.
If they text back saying "you need to top up by £10 to get the 100gb of data" then you'll be ok to go ahead.

​havent got throught it all yet :-)

Just texted christmas100 saying they are having a technical issue hoping to have it fixed shortly.

Just spent half an hour reading all of the posts in this thread... so to summarise.

1 - Get the SIM
2 - Put in my phone, switch off mobile data before OR use a dumbphone
3 - Top up the SIM with £10
4 - Send STOP PACK to 150
5 - Send CHRISTMAS100 to 150

Yes? piggy, not to be pedantic but you sometimes mentioned doing 4 before 5, and sometimes 5 before 4... it's quite confusing. :disappointed:

Not to put you off though, this is a good thing you're doing for the HUKD community, so thank you very much!

Sorry if I have confused, you should top up £10, then text CHRISTMAS100, then Stop Pack
This method worked for the summer sims, we are only ASSUMING it works for the crimbo sims.

Yes

and then you can download titanbet app and deposit the £10
and withdraw it to a bank account / paypal
if you want

No worries mate. Got the Christmas SIMs instead of the older summer ones and I have two, so I'm intending to save one for Jan/Feb. Instructions still don't change, right?

Man, they're making us work a bit for that 200GB. :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers! :smile: time to wait for them to fix their system and off it goes into my Samsung that I got for a quid thanks to a random Rakuten deal.

No worries mate. Got the Christmas SIMs instead of the older summer ones and I have two, so I'm intending to save one for Jan/Feb. Instructions still don't change, right?
Man, they're making us work a bit for that 200GB. :stuck_out_tongue:[/quote]

As long as you have used a dumb phone, or smart phone with data switched off, the 200GB data should not start. You can then take out the sim and keep it safe til you want to use it, six months is the assumed limit.
But ..... and I stress this! .... these are all things which worked for the summer sims, we hope it is the same process for Christmas sims ........ We hope ......

My two arrived today. I dont intend to activate them for a good few weeks yet so they last longer. They cant really enforce the 14 day top up. I left the summer ones for a few weeks.

(PS. Another troll goes on my ignore list. :sunglasses: )

one more thing to get adult lock off the sim card use a phone turn off the data and dial 1818 free use credit card only.

This guy is either one of those on eBay trying to sell these FREE SIMs for a profit and not liking how people here are calling these scrubs out, or he's been burned by the change in how the promotional deals work and ended up spending £10 on a sim where he won't get free data...or both.

The hipocrite fails to remember that they are using and participating on a website/forum specifically made to get people good deals, competitions, coupons/vouchers, etc, etc...and then proceeds to call out fellow users for being "cheap".

Seriously, though, let's just ignore the person. It's no different to a child acting up because it's got an audience.

Any clue when the data will be added and the glitch sorted? Tried ten times, no joy. Noticed they give 500mb free each month too.

mastercard credit card visa debit no.

you can also just go into a store with your SIM + an ID and they can remove it for you

under18s can get a debit card but you have to be 18 or over to get a credit card.any credit will work i sometimes have to ask my friends as my credit card been used loads of times with t-mobile ee.

allan1954 and mushroome, thanks for the info.

I don't have a credit card and too far out from an EE store to stop by. Guess I'll have to just stick with it or look at a PAYG credit card. Heard there are some good ones available. I really need one of those anyway, so I should just take a look within the next week or so. Will be handy, either way.

I shouldnt' run into any issues with using the same credit card on multiple SIMs, will I?

Not got any from the last times I tried to get these...

A simple way to bypass the content control if you don't have a credit card or can't be arsed sorting it out is to use a free VPN such as Hola or tunnel bear for the web sites that are blocked.

Have since had another text from ee about the technical difficulties and to expect resolution within 24 hours.... Here's hoping...

Sorry to inform you but there's no such thing as a PAYG credit card.
I think you're getting confused with a PAYG debit card but that is not suitable to remove the content block because under 18s can get them.

Ah, I could have sworn there were credit card equivalents lol Looks like I'll be going with your suggestion of a free VPN then. Thanks for the heads up on both of those points, paulandpam1

interestingly EE seems to have sold our emails on from the info in our email (click view in browser on the email) http://www.bemrosebooth.com/ee/sim/xmas/thankyou/index.html

Hi guys, I had a look at the the small print and it says that the data expires after two months, But I notice that in this thread it is stated that you will be able to use the data until it is is used, which statement is correct?

anyone can i just buy top up voucher or have top up through ee site?

I have ten pounds top up stuck in limbo so a heads up if people find out it's sorted would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

​thanks kar999

I think that is probably why we are all getting a "Technical Problem" automated text. They are stalling the process so that you use the sim now and cannot delay. Probably got wise to everyone sending STOP PACK.

That's from a third party seller. Sorry should have mentioned.

Has anybody got there free data yet?

you sign up for EE my account and top up from there, unless like me EE tells you this number is not a valid number:rollseyes:

Still a tech issue on CHRISTMAS100

when I put the xmas sim in a old basic Nokia the text offer I got was £10 Everything Pack and a EXTRA 500MB data for a year - not sure the terms of that, if it is on this specific pack or just on the account ?

" Hi Everyone,
We have had confirmation that the issue with claiming your free 100GB should be fixed within the next 24 hours and you will all receive a text message to let you know how to claim. "

http://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Announcements-from-EE/The-EE-Christmas-SIM-is-here-100GB-of-data-for-free/td-p/357799/page/2

thats great, does anyone tried here, sounds to good, have quite a few sim cards with credit.

Thanks to the original poster for the deal.

I have a question - I've got 2 Christmas Sims. How would I go about making them last for 4 months ? (if at all possible) any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have done it with previous sims

The minimum you can deposit is £10
the app is not on play store you have download the apk and install it from here

yep unless you want as little to do with them as poss. I use their data deals because I have to. Due to some mobile issues lets say I cant even stomach going to their site. Don't like it don't comment.

2 Sims have arrived great but is there any credit without topping up?

Also I had PayPal money to use up. Lets hope they sort this soon so I can stop checking in as I cant see how to mute someone in the win hukd app.

Thanks for fast reply will try that.

im on Android 4.3, all I get is a webpage message to allow install from other places other than Play Store, I have "unknown sources" checked in my security settings... ??

many tks for the confirmation and reply back! have ordered a new sim to hopefully use this offer on!

I always to up via this url with no issues.

How do you transfer the £10 from sim credit to Titanbet then transfer back to Paypal??
steps please.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like they've changed a few things since the last time i used them
they don't have Paypal withdrawal anymore only bank withdrawal
and it takes 2days to process the withdrawal request ( Before it was instant paypal )

download the app
sign up, then click my account / deposit and select pay with mobile.

Thanks for the info and keep us updated, I put my tenner on at lunchtime but getting the same error still also with the Christmas100 text ive sent to 150

maxmix

do you know any other app we can withdrawal with paypal

I got mine through this morning, thanks OP. can anyone recommend me a dongle type thing that I can use this with on a mac? Small if poss, many thanks.

just had confirmation
yes i too started with the 500mb free jobby
but phoned complained
had guarantee that if it did not work i would be refunded payed by debit card
by some head dude in top up dept
so this afternoon my 500 ran out so phoned top up again and got hold of the top dude there and he offered me the refund or a promise 100gb will be added to my sim in less than 72 hours saying this is now an issue they know about and will be resolved for all affected
so i let them keep the tenner to see if it will happen

ordered

Texted CHRISTMAS100 and got a message back saying not available to me. I tried with summer sim. Sorry if this is a repeat, I've read half the thread but couldn't find any confirmation it didn't work.

Ordered a new one, cheers OP. Two days until mine expires so excellent timing.

I haven't topped up £10 yet but I used all the data that was on the sim and then text christmas100 to 150. I got this reply It looks as if you haven't topped up yet. Make sure to top up £10 before adding your free data. Just visit ee.co.uk/topup or call 150 now. Should be working now

Did anyone else who topped up £5 on an old sim just have theirs stop working? I didn't think I'd used 100GB but I could have done. Not sure how to tell, as My EE is as much of a mess as My T-Mobile...

Without having to trawl through hundreds of posts what do I do with my two Christmas sim cards? Leave them in the envelope and order some more?

I can confirm it's working now.

Not working yet

purchased a £10 top up voucher, text christmas100 to 150 it then texts you back confirming it has gone on.
If you're still getting an error message when texting 150 try using the data that is already on the sim, I left a youtube video running for a few minutes that does the trick, then try it again.

Apparently you need to be on the data pack not the everything pack, but im unsure of how to switch as i have already used data and minutes.

they're having to do an update to the sims due to the problem, it's a batch process so some will have been processed and work others will still be to process.

Confirmed now working!

"We have successfully added the 200GB promotion to your account. Time to start enjoying your first month of 100GB! Thank you."

I can confirm its not working now (well not for me), just rang ee who appear to be totally confused between departments of whats going on, my sim came in the christmas100 packaging, i topped up yesterday and noticed that it was only 500mb preloaded unlike the glastonbury sim which starts off with 1gb, on trying to activate i got the same technical error as everyone else and that they will inform me when the issue would be fixed, on speaking to an agent at 1st they said their is no such sim or deal and am i sure its not 100mb lol, then after being transferred i was told that the sim i activated was the wrong one and i hadnt ordered a christmas sim pinning the blame on me, after going into great detail he said that he would send me a new xmas sim and transfer the credit over and activate that, after being on hold for 5 mins he has now told me that the issue should be resolved tomorrow and i do not need a new sim, he will call me to let me know either way.

For a communications company they seem to struggle to communicate within departments.

It's on!

Has anyone been successful with the 200GB on the 500mb everything pack yet?

Those who have managed to activate the offer successfully, could you explain if you had waited till issue resolved before activation? I'm still not sure about activating this sim and it sounds as if you can't activate in a dumb phone and save data for future use? Totally confusing

So to the people who are now dancing in the street did you get a text saying it was sorted? That's what I'm waiting for.

I started from scratch, put the SIM in just now and left the pack as was. It is working, got the text with all the data on it. But I have issues with the new phone!

I can not test any of this as I haven't received my Christmas sims yet.
But we really need to know if the STOP PACK function can be used after the 200GB has been successfully added.
Remember, you need to use a dumb phone when activating sim to stop the data from starting.
Or use a smart phone with data OFF.

Still getting the following,

got the heres ur 200gb txt bk ok but when i txt stop pack it says
cant process my request and when i look online acc it says ive £10
credit and no pack active but under add ons i see the 100gb expires in a month
is my £10 safe if i start using data?

I would if I could but I can't so I won't.
Oink.

funny, no text yet but without topping up or putting anything on the card its working? im online now thats not right is it?

Try using up the 50mb data that's already on the sim - run a youtube video until the video stops playing. Then try texting christmas100 again.

Re adult content. I read on here it has to be a Credit Card to get the lock taken off, but I just did it perfectly well with my Barclay's Visa Debit, so bear that in mind!

New text rec:

Your £10 data pack has started and £10 has come out of your credit. Your allowances will last up to 30 days and will renew automatically using your credit.

Does that mean I need to top up another £10 for next month's data or not?

yeah, thought i was magic for a minute.

Thanks, Sstuff, you were right regardless of receiving a text i ploughed through the 50mb and topped up and texted christmas100 and i got the 200gb text through. hope everyone jumps on now.

I was hoping for something smaller and cheaper, any other recommendations?

not 4g but i use the HUAWEI E5330

You need to stop pack before top up or it will say http://i.imgur.com/16f0i3Z.png

Well its still not working for me. :disappointed:

looks like it is fixed now as when I send a text Christmas100 to 150 without credit it says add the £10 and the 100g will be added.

Im still hoping when the 500mb runs out it will activate the 100gb offer then, every time i txt currently i am getting the usual technical error msg but when i txt the same msg(christmas100) from an old summer sim it says i must have last topped up £10.

Still getting the same technical issues reply when I text christmas100.

STOP PACK to 150 does not work any suggestions

I think they definitely sent out the wrong sims, its been 24 hours and I still get the same technical error message. I've got the Android app installed and it shows 1gb of data but I'm on the everything pack, and theres no way of switching to the £10 data pack that used to show on the old sims on previous offers. Can't be bothered waiting 40 minutes on the phone to sort this out!

They state in T&C's that we need to top up within 14 days, is that actually correct?
I believe I didn't top up the last one in time and it still worked, it would be extremely useful if I could get 2 and activate the other only once the first one has ended?

When I text Christmas100 on the summer sim it says this offer is not available to you. You need to buy the Christmas sim

Anyway if you top up £5 on summer sim it should work

The summer sim i tried it on has had 4 top ups of £5 since the 200gb ran out. It might work if i topped it up £10 more but i would rather not risk it tbh.

I beleive the top up had to be £10 not £5 (or 2 x £5) on the Summer sim. But earlier posts indicated this didn't work. It may be being fixed now but the safest way is to order new Christmas sims and top those up.

Just wanted to see if it is just me or does it work for everyone, don't really need 200GB a month but 100GB for 4 moths would be great.

Just to report that this worked without any problems just now.
So I get to keep my £10 as a credit, and also the 100GB each month for 2 months is now activated.

Have been using the same trick in the past 2 promotions.

It worked on the previous promos as the post above states.

I haven't started using our second summer sim yet and the data (and £10) is there waiting to be used. It was topped up before the end of August but I stopped the pack and ensured I didn't use any data to trigger it starting.

You can't get 100gb lasting for 4 months on this deal.
The closest thing would be 200gb for two months and then your £10 topup to buy additional data.

You just need two sims (for the household). Use one sim for 2 months and when that expires then trigger the data to kick in on the second one for the next two months.

Edit: it will cost 2x£10 admittedly.

You've not been paying attention. Nexusfifth has two sims. They each work for two months. That's four months at 100GB a month. Others have explained how to do it.

Just topped up. Texted STOP PACK to 150, then it prompted me to reply YES, when I replied there was no response. Wonder if they will take my tenner if I turn on my data now :disappointed:

Silly question alert.
I haven't topped up yet, when I text stop pack, I get a reply, You have asked us to stop your pack. When your current pack ends we will not add a new one. If you'd like to proceed, just reply yes.

Do i need to reply yes???
