just rang and got the deal, but it was £18.99...

Zoe @ EE did say if I decided wanted a new phone within the 12 months, they can accommodate without this 12 months having to elapse first.

Just got the same deal on Vodafone yesterday after an end of contract call to their retentions folk plus a £60 account credit and free Netflix for a year. Was planning to leave and head off to Giffgaff, but happy to stay for this deal.

I'm currently paying 0.99 bones for 10,000gb unlimited min,txts,and 2000 0800 mins on a retention deal

Are any of these deals for new customers?

I'm currently paying £13 for 10gb unlimited min,txts,and 2000 0800 mins on a retention deal

you should be able to get up to 50% off on retention deals if you barter. I'm on unlimited text&voice with 10GB data and Spotify/now TV/Netflix for £16 on Vodafone. you could try bartering against EE with that.

Don't mean to burst you bubble, but I was offered 18GB data for £19.99.

Last week retentions offered me unlimited calls/texts and 18GB/month on my sim only deal. I was going to take up the mobilephonesdirect offer so had asked for my PAC because to keep your number with EE, despite having a new contract with them, you have to leave and then come back onto the new contract because you can't move numbers between contracts (which seems madness!). Guy called me back within a few hours of requesting the PAC and offered me the above deal on the same money I was paying, £15.99/month.

I got unlimited everything (calls, texts, Internet) all for £12 with took the sim out 4 months ago!

Three did unlimited data for me at the same price.

I got a 4gb and unlimited everything else for £11.99 with EE retention

Other than Three who else actually offers true unlimited data, anyone know if the big 3 will be releasing any such plans in the new year?

I got the 6GB tariff from mobilephonesdirect and I didn't see any mention of the 4G type on the bill. When I phoned EE to found out what type of 4G tariff I had, the gentleman on the phone said I was on 4G+ tariff and would get that speed in certain area like London and at other times it would be double speed 4G depending on the location.

Not a great deal Currently on ee sim only 12 month contract £12.99 a month unlimited calls/texts 5gb of data

​thats not bad that! I will be out the country next year so contact no good

Just got 10Gb 4G double speed + unlimited calls + unlimited texts for £16.20/month inc VAT on a 12 month contract. Not sure how! Called up to upgrade my old 3G contract from T-Mobile and the nice chap on the phone managed to get it down to this.

Get EE Christmas SIM deal, 100gb pm for 2 month,no problem with tethering as I did about 70gb last time around with summer SIM deal.

Go with BT mobile... Probably better deal even for none BT customers.... 20gb data, unlimited calls and SMS and free BT WiFi and BT sport for £25 a month with £63 quidco....£20 a month if on BT

I agree with the above, cashback looks very easy to do nowadays, very tempted with the 6gb for £8.99

Thanks. The cashback part looks very straightforward, much easier than the paper bills I did many years ago.
Just noticed that the original 4gb plan from EE is 17.99 but mobilephonedirect sells it as 19.99 with 144 in cash back. Maybe I'll go with the 6gb plan then.
Also just read the T&C, it seems to use the 14 days clause, I'll need to call mobilephonedirect instead of EE. Now I'm not sure the double speed 4G could be offered at all (better speed is something nice to have but not a deal breaker though).

Price should remain the same so make sure they don't give you the discounted plan if you do this which is £17.99

These cashback offers are quite heavily discounted after redemption so not sure if there will be SIMO offers like this. But if you sign up now you still would have time to switch if a good black friday offer comes along.

Also don't forget TCB/Quidco £10ish.

Cashback is relatively easy, you have 60 days after the month due which is stated on order form I think. https://cashback.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk

Thanks for the tips, forgot about the 14 days clause. I guess it'll worth a try, and hope it doesnt void the cask back T&C.
Any idea if there could be any Black Friday deals on these sim only contract next week ?

Err because you have 14 days to cancel? This is what I was specifically told by billing on live chat to do, call cancellations on 150 once signed up :smiley:


Not sure, it would state on your bill. Usually 4G is standard, Double Speed 4GEE and 4G+ are usually specified on bills if you have it.

I know mobilephonesdirect 4GB plan doesn't have double speed but if you went through EE direct they offer double speed in the plan hence the chance to haggle them.

​You dont need to go through redemptions.

As far as im aware, the 4gee came as standard. I didnt ask for it, it was all part of the 12 month contract (6gb)£22.99 (£23.99 now i think), then with £144 cashback- now £168.

How can you bargain for double speed when you have just started a 12m contract with them?

"Free 0800 numbers"

I can get a free pay as you go sim and its free to call 0800 numbers i think you mean 084 and 087 and then thats only the access charge the service charge will still be paid

If you go through redemptions and remember things, cheaper here for £8.99/mo:

4GB and 10GB also available

These are normal 4G but you can probably call cancellations after getting setup and get upgrade to double speed 4gee

​4 GEE ?? yep. I get between 50-60meg in some areas.

Cashback deals have got a lot better in my experience. The old e2save, and onestopphoneshop, were notorious for being bad.

can any one help. I've been without a phone plan for nearly 4 months. so I'm abit out of touch with contracts and prices is this a good deal and would yous suggest I try and get it? I would really prefer a 30 day contract though do yous know of a good one to go with. thanks

I might be tempted by this. I'm always put off by the cashback deals... I remember it used to be a right pain. Would you say the process is easy?

Do you know if you get 'EE double speed 4G'?

​Remember to send your bill (online through their website) and they pay directly into your bank-within 7 days in my case. Defo worth it for uploading 5 bills.

Just phoned them and got mine set up! They told me it was charged as £23.99 with a £6 discount every month for 12 months....unlimited minutes and texts and 6gb.

Your not looking hard enough mate it's there in huge graphics £22.99 £168 cash back £8.99 a monthh

I was offered 10GB data one for £21.

im getting this (6gb) for £10.99 with mobilesdirect (with cashback). Believe it even cheaper now. And theyve paid out cashback within 7 days of bill.

Got unlimited min unlimited texts 4gb data £11.99 a month on 30 day contract which is better deal for me call them you might fit it

During an online chat with EE sales, I asked when my upgrade is due, I also asked if they would match GiffGaff's £20 GoodieBag and they gave me a matching deal but with the EE perks, such as double speed 4G connection, WiFi on the underground and visual voicemail.

Not offering it to me :disappointed:

good deal if it is 6GB

showing 4Gb for me?
