I Got this message from EE
" More data just for you! Here's another 100GB a month for two months if you top up £10 by 11 Nov. Once you top up, text DATA100 to 150 and enjoy!"
So you can text DATA100 to 150 after topping up to get 200gb for 2 months!
how can it be free uf you've gotta top up by 10 pounds

Thanks, I still have several promo sims kicking about, maybe I'll try sending a txt from them to see if any work.

you should first have sent off the promo-text . if the sim was valid you'd then have received a message advising you top up first. that way you'd know if the 100gb offer was still live before you decided to topup with 10£. this was how I got a second 2mth run with there preceeding summer sim. I'll try it with this Xmas sim once it expires in about 17 days time

Still had a Christmas sim not opened and topped up this morning £10 but text back from EE says promo ended. :-( Didn't realise u had to top up by a certain date. Any workarounds?

Just realized I still had a sim that I hadn't used yet. I text christmas100 first to see if the promotion was still going. It said I need to topup £10. So I did then text again and got the 200GB

I managed to follow the instructions here(probaby another EE thread) and on Saturday stopped pack first, then topped up £10(online by credit card on EE website), and then activated the 200GB offer (CHRISTMAS100), got confirmation texts etc.
But then late on Monday night suddenly got another text from EE saying thanks for topping up £10, even though I've never done it myself/or give permission to anyone, got quite suspicious about the "auto-topup", went to MyEE account to check and it said "E-Topup Payment", which I've not done before, so is this the "free" £10 offer/credit that you're talking about?

My first month has finished, I used my Christmas Sim in a modem, made one call on it and they have wiped the rest of the balance and credit, I though it would update automatically as I had msg to say that. I only got 100gb and used 60 of that. How do I go about getting it restarted so I can have another 100 gb from today - any advice appreciated.

You have to call them, same happened to me and when i called they said that you can't register online without topping up (which makes no sense) but i topped up over the phone.

I already put the credit on the phone and i already send the txt to have the 200 gb . i received the txt back that i can use the data. Should i send the the txt now to stop pack? I didn't call ,txt or use any data.
raj75
17 Nov 151#259
Just text 'STOP PACK' to 150 and £10 will be retained. I did the same last week and it worked.
1) Text 'STOP PACK' to 150
2) You will get a text and it will ask to confirm.
3) Send 'Y' to 150 to confirm
4) Pack is stopped
5) Topup £10
6) Send 'DATA100' to 150
7) Enjoy 200 GB data

Hi , i have a strange question. The £10 credit will be taken when starting to use the minutes and data? I am led to believe that the 10 Data Pack is £10 and it will be taken when you start using the phone. I just wanted to know if i can use the £10 after the 2 months with 100gb data . thx
Where would I find that link, cause the Get Deal at the top of the page doesn't seem to lead to it?

16 Nov 151#254
It has to be a promotional SIM ordered online using the specific link.
Regular EE SIMs such as those purchased in EE stores, or other third party outlets aren't eligible.

15 Nov 15#249
The data was turned off throughout. I am reporting what happened. Phone is Windows 8.1 Nokia Lumia. Settings->data connection -> Off
So I don't know what the glitch was, but it is not reliable, so I will not rely on this in future.
I should add though - it is a great deal if used as ee intended. I just will not be trying the trickery as outlined as although many report it worked for them.
nick1austin
15 Nov 15#248
If you want to delay the start of the 100GB 2 month pack you need to either use a dumb phone or turn DATA off. The behaviour you describe is what will happen if data is used in that brief period between sending YES but before switching off the phone.
naomipunkclan
15 Nov 15#247
I have to report that STOP PACK does not work in case any one else gets caught. I had the SUMMER100 sim, and followed this STOP PACK. I the put the spare phone in a drawer, and today looking to start to use the free data, I had messages like:
"Your 100GB of free data has now ended. We hope you enjoyed it" etc.
Otherwise on the STOP pack thread everything looks OK. However it says "When your current pack ends we will not add a new one. If you'd like to proceed just reply YES". Which I did.
But reading that message, it sounds like the STOP PACK would have stopped a renewal from this wording ? So I guess I also used up my £10 on a spare phone in the drawer.
Anyway, clearly not a reliable technique, so will not be using it in future

I have one of the summer 200gb sims in my phone and had used up all the data. I topped up by £10 , texted Christmas100 to 150, and got the 200gb offer :-)
kar999
13 Nov 15#244
I was led to beleive that after topping up £10 you have 5 days to text for the offer. In the past stoppack would ensure that the data didn't kick in straight away provided it was done from a dumb phone or with data turned off. This was certainly the case with the Summer and Glasto Sims. I still have an unused Summer Sim with the 100Gb add-on still waiting to be used.
ajil
13 Nov 15#243
I dont know what do you mean but i sent STOP PACK to 150 and confirm it by sending YES, then sending CHRISTMAS100 it did started my first 100GB right away with no chance of being dormant for 180 days
Plutonian78
12 Nov 15#242
do you have to txt it from a smartphone with 4G LTE capability to receive it?
the reason I ask, is because I just txted 'CHRISTMAS100' to 150 after I topped up the £10, from a non 4G phone, and I had a txt saying ' Sorry, but this offer is not available to you'
sdduk2
10 Nov 15#241
Yes
You can still use the sim and top-up afterwards but you won't get the 100gb

Type something like 192.168.1.1 into your browser and it should launch a config screen for your MiFi. Username and password are often admin and admin. There should be a SMS facility in there. Your MiFi user guide should help.

Wow that's harsh, you've got every right to be peed off! I think they should look at those using 50GB+ per month, which gets into broadband territory. If they allowed 100GB per month some folks would probably end up ditching their landlines and broadband contracts.

CHRISTMAS100 just worked on a summer sim for me which I topped up before the 11th after receiving the 'DATA100' text.
I'm not sure therefore what the difference is between the codes - maybe DATA100 is time limited as indicated by the text insisting on top up before the 11th and then the suggestion that you have to text soon after. CHRISTMAS100 may last as long as it does for the new christmas sims. This would be consistent with the suggestion above that there are in fact no 'summer' or 'christmas' sims - just promo sims which all react the same way.
I can confirm the data started immediately despite me trying all the known tricks to postpone it (and I have 5 sims so do know what I'm doing). This seems to be linked to the lack of pack to stop. Further investigation required if anyone is willing to!

Average size of a decent 720p rip: 4GB. Full 1080p at 60fps usually comes in at around 8-10GB. A decent game can range from anywhere between 5gb-60gb.
Let's pretend that over the two days the individual downloads 3 1080p movies each day. That's about 60gb. Added to that are two decent games at 30gb each. That's a total of 120gb.
Chuck in a couple of seasons of a show in 1080p and that's your 200gb done. It is possible, just highly unlikely.

I seem to remember 5 days was mentioned somewhere
kar999 to JustWantToPost
4 Nov 151#197
That is correct... 5 days. If you want to stall the data kicking in the pack needs to be stopped and data100 sent from a dumb phone or one with the data turned off. The 2x 100GB data should then remain "dormant" for up to 180 days

the £10 is for the minutes and texts and data and when that runs out you usually have to top up again to get anything but the month after that they give you 100 gb and then the month after that you get another 100 gb , without having to top up , so its pretty simple no top up but you get 100 gb , so for me getting all that data is free as i dont have to top up again simples really

You didn't send STOP PACK to 150 to stop the £10 1GB 50 mins 50 texts pack from starting.
As a result this pack has been activated and will be used first, followed by the 100GB each month for two months.

I have a Summer sim (where the data expired a few week ago) with £10 credit on it. I tried the X-mass code (without topping up) and didn't get the data. I didn't get the SMS for this offer, so I tried this one without topping up, and it said offer wasn't available to me, topped up £10 and tried again, and this time I got the Data.
spiraller
3 Nov 15#180
I topped up £10 on Thursday night, to the sim I got the summer deal on.
I just tried this and was Replied to with 'sorry this offer is not available to you'.
It's possible I topped up just prior to the start of this offer I guess, in which case I wouldnt have qualified. The dilemma is whether I want to top up another tenner in the hope I'll get it!!!!

I went to buy a wifi hotspot from currys yesterday to go with this deal and instead of paying £50 for on PAYG for the EE Osprey Mini 2, you can take out a one-month rolling contract for £10 and pay £10 for the device. Just made a deal for it...
It's £17 now for the 200 mins AYCE data, though for some reason they're charging me £15 even though I just signed up. I have been a customer for a few years on other tarriffs though.

The clue to getting DATA100 to work is in the opening post...
"....top up £10 by Nov 11" :smiley:
JustWantToPost
2 Nov 151#168
Yes it worked on my summer sim.
The free data bundle on the summer sim expired over a week ago. Read this thread so switched on the dumb phone and received the text to inform I qualify.
Tried sending DATA100 without topping up to see what response I get - got reply saying my sim not eligible. Went a head with £10top up anyway, then texted DATA100 and immediately received text to confirm 100GB bundle added, valid for 2 months but it starts immediately, cannot bank it for later use.
People sending the DATA100 text without topping up to test eligibility will not get a valid response.
If you got the text, then topup £10, send the text, you will get it.

1x Christmas 100GB Promotion SIM - in use
Imagine all the free 4G data I'll have access to if any of these other SIMs will work?

I used the xmas promotion on the summer sim, so no need for a new sim :P And then got this msg on the summer sim also! So i shall try it before the 11th.

With regards to the Dan & Phil SIM from last year, they'll still work as long as you activated the SIM card (i.e. inserted it into your phone and allowed the SIM to connect to the netwok) but DID NOT use any data. The data starts from the moment you start using it.

I wasn't offered this on my existing EE SIM. I even asked their customer services if they can offer it on my existing SIM otherwise I'll PAC out, but even then I wasn't offered it.

Also did you ctually receive a text with the invitation to top up again?
I ask as I haven't been notified of the further data offer and don't want to topup only to discover it doesn't work for me

I don't beleive you can have both offers running on the same sim if one offer is still active and running. They won't stack.
The best option is to top up a new Christmas sim instead.

Slightly noob question here: can this be made to work on a mifi (not a phone) and what mifi would you quickly recommend?
Genuinely I need to get this for a relative who is looking at 2m in hospital ASAP. They have non cell ipad.

I've already ordered the christmas sim (which didn't apply the 100gb anyway..), but wondering if I topup £10 I'd get this 100gb credit as well?
deany76

I presume you are having a laugh?, hope so!
ps
your links are 'nil points'!
mantisinc
1 Nov 15#142
So does this work even if you didn't receive the text?
So you order the xmas sim, put it in your phone, top up £10, then send a text to get the extra 200GB of data.
How do you get any calls or text allowance? Or is this where you'd spend the £10 top up on a calling/text plan? If you didn't buy a plan would any calls/texts come out of the £10 credit?
Thanks

I currently have £9.88 and £8.88 on 2 old summer sims both of which received the message for another 2 months data! Is there a way to top £1.22 on one and £0.22 on the other to make it £10.00 to get me the data ? If so how ? Much appreciated.

Nope. I understand It has to be a new £10 within the last 5 days.

There is a way of topping-up and getting this offer, without losing your £10. Do a quick goggle search.

Didn't work when i topped up daughter's sim. Got text reply saying it was only for selected customers.
tpol to pgregg
31 Oct 15#135
It only works on existing SIMs if you've been invited, if not it only works by getting a new SIM using the offer links either on this deal or any other other.
tpol
31 Oct 15#134
You can add funds to your wallet by using Mobile SMS. Look in your PSN wallet. You can top up in multiples of £5. It sends an SMS to your mobile, when you confirm then it taken the money from your SIM and tops up the PSN.

when i say kicked of i don't mean off the network i mean just of the one plane like you said they give you a choice to go on another plane or leave to go to a different network.
Some people have still got the one plane but by next year it will be gone they are doing it slowly.
sdduk2
31 Oct 15#130
It's already happening Three are doing it a bit at a time so by next year everybody that's is on the one plane will be kicked off there will be no more unlimited teething.
muddassarsardar
31 Oct 15#128
yes but this seems better as u still keep the 10 Quid credit on the other u need to get a data bundle for 10 pounds since think they done this offer as people complained they we're saying Its free data when u actually had to use the 10pounds up on the Xmas Sims
muddassarsardar
31 Oct 15#127
i don't think they can kick u off but they try to offer u different deals they tried a few times with th my friend saying we got a better deal for u but they we're lieing to him so he refused

Can anyone recommend a good deal on a data sim. 30day rolling or payg. 4g not important, I'm happy with good old 3G.
muddassarsardar to mikeypr
31 Oct 15#126
how much data do u need if u want unlimited browesing and around 1gb Download then T-Mobile is probably the cheapest at 20pounds for 6 months witha booster someone else may have a better deal for u, but its confusing unlimited browesing as they classify watching online videos as downloading etc
muddassarsardar
31 Oct 15#125
what do u do constantly download stuff from. youtube or something those torrent sites its pretty impossible to use 100gb in a few days like a guy on here claims there servers are very slow
Hot deal but it is wrong to say "Free...topup required". Just say 200GB with 10 topup, you will still get same heat.

How do you top up just £1? As I would like to do what you've done :wink:

Would this sim deal be compatible with my I pad air 2 cell?
tpol to bargain_up_the_wrong_tree
31 Oct 15#116
Yes, I used SIM from the last deal in my iPad AIR 2, no problems. Funnily enough I was able to receive 'text messages' from EE on the iPad, although I couldn't reply to it.
Edit: I also topped up by another £1 and transferred out the £10 to a PSN account so, got 200GB of Data for a total outlay of £1.

Yes they do but they give you an allowance my son as unlimited data and 8gb teething also i have unlimited data and 4gb teething he as a contract i have sim only with three.
Also if you still have the one plane you get unlimited data and teething not everybody as been kicked of the one plane yet but they will soon.

That's correct. With a vpn app on your phone all data is encrypted so the tethering is hidden. There are lots of free vpns. Occasionally a good deal for cyberghost comes up, like £5 for a year. Well worth it & highly recommended.

Shop now back online. Just ordered a Christmas Sim. Cheers OP.
For those struggling to find the Christmas Sim deal, use this link:
I know this may sound like a silly question, but I need to know :stuck_out_tongue:
Is the data allowance over the 3G network only or does it include 4G too.
Thank in advance :smiley:

31 Oct 15#92
Could you expand a bit on the VPN part please? Is that setup on the tethered phone so all your data goes through it?

Possibly not with this old sim offer but you can with the same deal on Christmas sims. You can defer top up & activation until Dec 29 rather than 11 Nov with this offer. See the the other HUKD thread.

Can only be used in the UK on the EE network. You need to purchase one of EE's international packs if you want to data roam.

I struggled to get an account and payment set up online with the summer sim promotion. Got around it (and done the same with the Christmas sim) by simply topping up the card in a shop. Popped the sim in my phone, sent the text and shifted the sim to my mifi device to share the data. Works very well indeed, long may these promotions continue - thanks EE!
TomBoyNI
30 Oct 151#46

Get an AYCE Three data sim. Assuming the country is covered. Will cost you £18 or so.but you'd also get 200 mins thrown in. Work out how much using the EE 200gb of data abroad... £400 to be exact at £25 a pop of 500mb. All included in three contracts.

Of course that won't work as there's no way to hide your tethering usage with it. You can however wi-fi hotspot it in a phone and use a vpn like cyberghost to hide tethering. I get about 800GB a month doing this.
HueKuhn

And yes, officially on my plan I can only tether 4GB/m, bu there are ways to hide your tethering activity.

Yep, how do you get the sim, would like a deal like this for my tablet....
Opening post
" More data just for you! Here's another 100GB a month for two months if you top up £10 by 11 Nov. Once you top up, text DATA100 to 150 and enjoy!"
So you can text DATA100 to 150 after topping up to get 200gb for 2 months!
'Get Deal' doesn't work?

But then late on Monday night suddenly got another text from EE saying thanks for topping up £10, even though I've never done it myself/or give permission to anyone, got quite suspicious about the "auto-topup", went to MyEE account to check and it said "E-Topup Payment", which I've not done before, so is this the "free" £10 offer/credit that you're talking about?
any ideas
Love the 4g data
1) Text 'STOP PACK' to 150
2) You will get a text and it will ask to confirm.
3) Send 'Y' to 150 to confirm
4) Pack is stopped
5) Topup £10
6) Send 'DATA100' to 150
7) Enjoy 200 GB data
http://shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee
Regular EE SIMs such as those purchased in EE stores, or other third party outlets aren't eligible.
So I don't know what the glitch was, but it is not reliable, so I will not rely on this in future.
I should add though - it is a great deal if used as ee intended. I just will not be trying the trickery as outlined as although many report it worked for them.
"Your 100GB of free data has now ended. We hope you enjoyed it" etc.
Otherwise on the STOP pack thread everything looks OK. However it says "When your current pack ends we will not add a new one. If you'd like to proceed just reply YES". Which I did.
But reading that message, it sounds like the STOP PACK would have stopped a renewal from this wording ? So I guess I also used up my £10 on a spare phone in the drawer.
Anyway, clearly not a reliable technique, so will not be using it in future
the reason I ask, is because I just txted 'CHRISTMAS100' to 150 after I topped up the £10, from a non 4G phone, and I had a txt saying ' Sorry, but this offer is not available to you'
You can still use the sim and top-up afterwards but you won't get the 100gb
So using the Usb modem to supply the router with internet and the router to distribute connections as normal.
Thanks
That link takes you to a page to order a normal sim.
The correct direct link to the Christmas Promotional Sim page is here:
http://shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee
Look near bottom of the link you can get a free sim sent to you still have to top-up £10 to get the offer.

What do you think.....should I look for a better deal?
Anyone?
Thnx
I'm not sure therefore what the difference is between the codes - maybe DATA100 is time limited as indicated by the text insisting on top up before the 11th and then the suggestion that you have to text soon after. CHRISTMAS100 may last as long as it does for the new christmas sims. This would be consistent with the suggestion above that there are in fact no 'summer' or 'christmas' sims - just promo sims which all react the same way.
I can confirm the data started immediately despite me trying all the known tricks to postpone it (and I have 5 sims so do know what I'm doing). This seems to be linked to the lack of pack to stop. Further investigation required if anyone is willing to!
Thanks in advance.
..they are on their way
And yet I am still on that deal too... with no termination notice
200GB from an itial 100GB, IF u follow certain 'Rules' BEFORE 11/11/15, or something like that ..... :-)
Free EE SIM and for £10 get 100GB of data for 2 months
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-ee-sim-for-10-get-100gb-data-for-2-months-2301962
Or else u pay full whack! (eg. no £10 saved, etc?), lol.
Also 100gb over two days?, you need to get a life.
And 'all you can eat' ended last year (I had it, & they cancelled my contract last December)
I think EE took over Oranges website because part of that was always down one of the reasons i left them a few years ago.
Let's pretend that over the two days the individual downloads 3 1080p movies each day. That's about 60gb. Added to that are two decent games at 30gb each. That's a total of 120gb.
Chuck in a couple of seasons of a show in 1080p and that's your 200gb done. It is possible, just highly unlikely.
Topped up today by £10 and I get this message
Anyone has similar issues?
'Last chance to enjoy your Christmas treat! It's easy to get your 100GB a month free for 2 months, just top up 10 and reply with CHRISTMAS100. For into visit ee.co.uk/christmassim'
Activated my SIM with its data about a week ago on the 23rd. I still have a second SIM that hasn't been topped up or activated. Wonder if this affects anything

And actually it was Tweleverife :smile:
As a result this pack has been activated and will be used first, followed by the 100GB each month for two months.
I just tried this and was Replied to with 'sorry this offer is not available to you'.
It's possible I topped up just prior to the start of this offer I guess, in which case I wouldnt have qualified. The dilemma is whether I want to top up another tenner in the hope I'll get it!!!!

"....top up £10 by Nov 11" :smiley:
The free data bundle on the summer sim expired over a week ago. Read this thread so switched on the dumb phone and received the text to inform I qualify.
Tried sending DATA100 without topping up to see what response I get - got reply saying my sim not eligible. Went a head with £10top up anyway, then texted DATA100 and immediately received text to confirm 100GB bundle added, valid for 2 months but it starts immediately, cannot bank it for later use.
People sending the DATA100 text without topping up to test eligibility will not get a valid response.
If you got the text, then topup £10, send the text, you will get it.
Rather confused still as not sure if the offer will be available if I top up by £5 first... can anyone confirm if that will work please?
I currently have:
1x Dan and Phil Limited Edition SIM - may have expired?
1x SUMMER Promotion 100GB SIM - used
1x CHRISTMAS 100GB SIM Promotion - new, needs topping up this week
1x Christmas 100GB Promotion SIM - in use
Imagine all the free 4G data I'll have access to if any of these other SIMs will work?
I ask as I haven't been notified of the further data offer and don't want to topup only to discover it doesn't work for me
Thanks
The best option is to top up a new Christmas sim instead.
Genuinely I need to get this for a relative who is looking at 2m in hospital ASAP. They have non cell ipad.

If you look at the bottom of the page they do boosters so they do muck about with your speeds or why would they do booster packs.
Most likely they are doing maintaince on masts in your area.
You can check status of signal in db (less is better) & double speed etc do you have an iphone? google 'iphone field test mode EE UK'
i.e.

So you order the xmas sim, put it in your phone, top up £10, then send a text to get the extra 200GB of data.
How do you get any calls or text allowance? Or is this where you'd spend the £10 top up on a calling/text plan? If you didn't buy a plan would any calls/texts come out of the £10 credit?
Thanks
Some people have still got the one plane but by next year it will be gone they are doing it slowly.
Edit: I also topped up by another £1 and transferred out the £10 to a PSN account so, got 200GB of Data for a total outlay of £1.
Thanks
I'm still tethering with three.
although I'm a long time customer.
I personally don't overuse it for that reason.
Also if you still have the one plane you get unlimited data and teething not everybody as been kicked of the one plane yet but they will soon.

Is the data allowance over the 3G network only or does it include 4G too.
Thank in advance :smiley:
Maybe I shouldn't have bought a mifi plan this year :S
Anyone know or tried it yet?
