almost jumped out of my skin , saw the image of the EE sim and for a split second thought the 100GB data offer was back on :smiley:

Instead of asking others for their experience, it's better to grab a free EE PayG, and try yourself at your own frequent locations.

No good asking me, m8.
I don't read your mail. :confused:

I just phoned them up and explained and they added a £15 credit to my account for the mix up it was because the discounts were added after the bill was generated so we're not applied but I did have to make sure they applied the discount when I first signed up otherwise this would happen every month.

I've had my first bill through today for £35?!

I placed my order on the 13th April, received email order confirmation shortly after. Then received the "..we're processing it at present.." SMS on the 15th, and nothing since. Call to EE this evening and I was told my order hadn't progressed past the credit check (which had passed). Apparently there is a glitch on their system with the automated order fulfillment system. So the lady manually pushed the order through, confirming that the first bill will be shown as £34.99 with two discounts at £5 and £10 applied to bring the total to £19.99. She also said my estimated bill date would be 25/05/2016, so I guess this would be from activation.

I'd probably see what's taken. If you can't afford too or simply don't want too give them a ring.

I have received a bill from EE of this amount, which will be taken from bank on 21st April

Yeah check the bill. Mine was 19.99 but showed on other parts of the website 34.99

Have you actually been billed that at your bank or does it just show up as on your account as £34.99?

Why my bill generated as £34.99?

Was about to go to EE and phoned up to 3. Abigail from retention team offered me U/U/30 for 20 quid from 12 months. Could not resist 30 GB offer and same price as EE as i would be new customer. Just to let you know.

Still no sign of my sim being dispatch after ordering Monday lunch! Although i did receive a text from them saying

"Thanks for your order. We're processing it at present and will update you soon"

Well that helps a lot lol!

To be fair they can take they're time as i have another 3 weeks of pac to try and use up before activiating the sim.

My bill has been generated at £19.99, all good.

Got my SIM last Thursday ,been waiting on my PAC.

Received my first bill today through the post - my plan is set at £34.99 - currently on the phone with them...

EDIT: Sorted - technical glitch :smirk:

My account was activated on the 2nd April and I ordered on the 31st March, I received the sim on the 6th April.

How long has it taken for sims to arrive?

Do they also activate the account from the day your order or the day you insert and activate the sim?

Im thinking if it takes nearly a week to arrive and they activate from the order date then your loosing a weeks worth of rental and so should be due a refund.

My pac transfer is still up in the air though

Unfortunately, the network with the largest customer base.

I was told my bill has been sorted but can't see any loyalty discounts yet so we will see. I'll use it as leverage if it's not corrected when the bill is due.

My number port was a breeze though so thumbs up there. Currently away in Scarborough so can't really comment on service yet but I've not seen a full strength signal from when it transferred at Leeds all the way here (I'm travelling).

I now kinda wish I had stayed with 3.

I did think that porting your number was an easy process?!

However, my text messages don't arrive, I cant receive phone calls. But I can make calls and send text messages. They have "escalated" the issue

The bill was wrong - see my earlier comment and was supposedly fixed with "loyalty" credits that equate to £14.00 (should be £15.00).

What kind of network are they running?

I think the bills sorted will find out tomorrow when they actually take the first payment but they butchered up the number port got split service now and don't receive any calls or texts on the EE sim!!!!! Not the best first impressions of the network.

sorted?

​nothing under addons, she said she'd adjusted the price (required a manager to approve it)

Check under the add-ons to see if there is anything showing since they fixed mine they've added loyalty discount x2 I wouldn't just go by what they've said as I had that at first and they hadn't fixed it at all just placed a note on the account not actually fixing it.

mine also showd 34.99. rang up and they have fixed it they said.

This quite simply shouldn't need to happen. New EE customer moving from a competitor onto a plan purchased directly through their website (to avoid hassle of third party involvement!) and it's not priced correctly!?

It isn't like it's just a few either, so many people having the same issue which should set alarm bells ringing.

I hope their network service is better than their customer service.

After 4 calls to customer services and each time them telling me they've fixed the price I finally got two loyalty discounts (a £10 and a £5) added that now bring me down to the £19.99 these show under add-ons in myee

Mine is also showing £34.99.

I've had the same issue and its still showing as the 34.99 and they won't give me any written proof that its actually going to be that price lets hope there isn't any issues in the future!

Did they say how much your first bill will be?

Thanks for trying. :neutral_face:

Thanks for letting me know. I am not convinced mine has been sent. I have a PAC which expires on the 15th.

Here are my dates...

Ordered 31/03
Dispatch confirmation email 03/04
Received SIM 06/04

Not speedy I know

gjpgjp

When did you sign up and get the email confirmation? I ordered last Thursday. I phoned on Saturday as I hadn't had an email. guy sent one there and then but haven't heard anything else. Did you get a text to say SIM had been dispatched?

They said that they couldn't discuss your account with me!

They have had to manually apply a discount to ensure I only pay £19.99. Looks like this has been messed up by them. Anyone else signed up for this checked their first bill?

While you're there, ask them about the 10GB data I bought that turns out to be only 2.
The term "Robbing shoots" comes to mind.

Just a warning. I signed up for this deal and received an email confirmation of the same.

I received the SIM today, registered it and signed up for a online account where you can check your first bill.

The price plan on the first bill stated £34.99 with no reduction.

I am on the phone to customer services.

I've just had same deal from three and signed up. Saved the hassle and is more data and works better for me, as I travel to EU often

Just called Three to request my PAC code on both my lines and before issuing they have just done me the following which I think is going to be impossible to beat

Unlimited mins
Unlimited text
30GB data (which can be tethered)
£20 a month

Seems a great offer, the most GB I have done over the past 12 months is 22GB one month and that was a lot of usage and streaming etc.

How long from dispatch email to delivery? Email from dispatch was sent on Thursday lunchtime. No sim yet. Post round here is normally quite quick.

I think the "19.99 price is without cashback. With some of their deals they have the price minus cashback and then in smaller font the price with cashback just underneath it.

Anyone bought over the weekend had their sim ship yet?

​for renewal. asked for PAC code and got called back.

I had a look at their other cash back deals. they have two prices listed, monthly cost and effective cost. they don't have the effective cost for the ee deal. share your findings once you hear back please.

I've asked for clarification on the monthly cost, whether it's representative of the cash back or not.

£10 quidco too so would be even better.

Mobilephonesdirect are also doing the £19.99 deal with £96 redemption cashback.

I phoned up and got 18gb for £15.99

Signed up for this in store but my account is showing up as £34.99. The guy wrote £19.99 on the contract so if it doesn't update a few days before my direct debit date is due imma go in store.

I just got unlimited minutes, texts and 18gb of data a month for £15.99 with EE!

​i got 18gb for £15.99 after requesting pac

They also offer the deals based around your last 3 month usage. Told him I need more data than anything else and that when he came at me with the different packages.

Just called Three to request my PAC code and got offered 4gb data unlimited mins/texts for £12 the guy wasn't budging on giving me a better deal either.

Anyone got an exact link for Topcashback as i can only see the £19.99 one at £36.75 cashback

http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ee-sim-only-contracts/

How long should I wait for Topcashback to track?

​No idea what YMMV Is lol. I get around 20+mbits at home off peak which is 20x faster than my home bb (East London tower Hamlets). Working in central London speeds are slower but calls are fine. The selling point for me was their tethering which I used for big downloads when in a hurry as my home bb peaks at 1.3mbits.
Their network is great and is only getting better, unlike their pricing. Their customers service always do a very hard sale over the phone, getting my PAC took me 25mins as they kept offering me deals already on their site. Was offered their repackaged One Plan with 32gb tether but that wasn't good enough for 20£ .
It's now between this deal at around 17ish£ after cash back or the iD deal for 12.50

YMMV. I often see people praising Three's network outside of London. In London, I haven't gone anywhere where Three signal or speed has been better than EE.

Customer service wise, I have no idea. Must say EE have been pretty good to me though. They gave me 20gb, unlimited calls and text for £18 a month

Has anybody who ordered this received the SIM, or had a text message to say that it is on its way? I ordered on Thursday but haven't had confirmation that the SIM is on its way. I want to order again for a second line for my wife, but will need to have received my SIM and set up the account before I can do that.

in terms of customer service or network? im on Three at the mo, who iD use, so I wont have any network coverage issues.

just noticed a uSwitch exclusive for iD;
500 minutes + 5000 texts + 6GB data = £12.50 per month rolling.

Just ordered, canceled three (got a letter anyway) and got my code (they did offer me 30gb, unlim msg&txt for £20, got a callback after 3 min that offer doesn't exist anymore - BYE). Hopefully Topcashback tracks at £57. :smiley:

hope this is still active with the high cashback offers for a few more days. got my letter from Three but wont have time to call them until tuesday.

Question to those that know seeing as ive just received the Dreaded Three letter cancelling my One Plan £15 a month sim only deal is this the best tariff/deal yet seen compared to that ?

Decisions decisions. Knowing my luck I won't be paid out. Do I go for the "existing customer offer" and use my PAYG EE sim as the existing customer line, or go in as a new customer and get it for (potentially) cheaper

Looks like they have put the amount up so even better if you sign up now.

If you're relying on the cash back it's a risk. As they do state the advertised amount they pay us an "upto" amount, and in the T&C's they do say the amount may change.

How do I port my number over from 3 with a PAC code?

Which Cashback on TopCashback did people use, they have links for various monthly amounts. Theres a £73.50 on sims over £25 and £52.50 on £19.99. Has anyone see theirs tracking and at what amount?

Giff Gaff are still Unlimited Texts Data and minutes for 20 Quid If you dont want all of the hassle of getting a contract

What's the likelihood of top cash back paying out?

Just left Three and joined EE with this deal except for £16.49 (existing customer discount). My EE account also shows up as £34.99 I don't know why. But surely they just haven't updated it yet. It's because this deal used to cost £34.99 originally.

I got this in store yesterday and registered an EE account but it's showing as 34.99 a month? The guy wrote £19.99 a month on my contract so i'm not too worried as it mentions that its £19.99 forever apart from the RPI increases.

:neutral_face: Worth having a word with billing if you've upgraded on to this deal with retentions.

I switched onto this offer and then queried the discount with billing, they checked my account and told me it was a 12 month loyalty discount that would revert to £34.99 after 12 months :confused:
After a few more phone calls sales let me know that when they set this deal up they use a discount that does not expire.
After more calls finally got swapped to the discount that doesn't expire, and have had a note left on account confirming I can stay on this as long as I want. :smiley:

Got my PAC code from Three following the letter saying end of AYCE for £15. Might take this offer, just over £16 a month with Top Cash Back. Anyone currently on EE can confirm how good reception and coverage is?

Thanks, just upgraded my chappy 3GB - £21 / Month plan for this. Happy days

couldn't get this as i didnt want to take an additional contract, but they did double my data from 5gb to 10gb for £1 extra a month. can't complain

Retentions would not give me this deal to renew my contract despite speaking to management, apparently u lot have been calling all day, however I settled on 20GB of data for £19.99. Thanks

Sim is now on its way. Was told the error I had last night about needing to call was due to website problems. I'm not using any discount codes though.

I got the "call us to discuss order" page, and on ringing this morning was told they cannot apply two discounts, i.e. NHS and the reduction from £35 to £20. The only option I was given was to continue with the price of £20 per month, which I declined.

Anybody manage to get the NHS discount on top?

As far as I can see, you only get the extra 50gb once.

Been looking for a good deal so I can leave 3 and have signed up for this tonight so thanks to those who posted.
- TCB has been awarded at £70.70 but is pending.
- I whatsapped this £19.99 link to a friend today who used an ee phone. The link for them opened @ the c£16.49 some ppl have mentioned if they took this as a 2nd contract
- for those saying you can't tether on 3 payg I have been for a while no bother (Samsung phone)
- also worth considering if you are short on data is a vodafone payg sim and a £10 payg. I think this ends soon tho. You currently get a free 50gb of data and again I've been using this for tethering tablets without any issues.

interesting....watch your bill/account though :smiley:

But will it effect it? :laughing:

Hi quick question: I've ordered this sim but got the 'call us to discuss this order' email, assuming I call and they process the order over the phone, will it effect the cash back at all ? thanks.

To be honest I'm not too bothered about that what I'm in at the moment is standard and it suits my needs.

​yep, positive. got a Vodafone sim to test out signal strength at home, commute, work etc as I was def leaving 3. tested Vodafone payg on a moto g, turned on tethering and it worked fine with my tablet which recognised it as a wifi network.
I was using a number I didn't care about mind you so if they had booted me off I wouldn't have cared.

I might have to follow this through and see if it works. Just lost my AYCE data on three for £12.90. They want to now charge me £20 a month.
This looks a good deal if i can get 16 meg for £16.49

I might have to follow this through and see if it works. Just lost my AYCE data on three for £12.90. They want to now charge me £20 a month.

I didn't hear anything about it either. I think I only knew about it when I saw it mentioned on here.

does anyone know what would happen if you went over the 16GB of data?
Would you be charged per meg or do they drop the speed down and you dont get charged?

I know that that price is only is for existing customers only. However, when I go onto the link and proceed to checkout it asks me if I'm a current EE customer, I click NO and it still allows me to checkout with the £16.49 price.

I didn't even know they were doing that. I'm a BT Mobile customer and I don't recall them ever sending me an email offering me the new addon, and a bit of marketing blurb about it.

Cheers my EE contract runs out next week. This will do just fine

This is a great deal - unfortunately just got the 6gb contract 3 weeks ago for £24 a month - so this is a corking deal!

Ordered but got the dreaded call us about the order. Closed. Called the sales line and they just asked me to call back 9am as the web department is closed.

Also said a copy of the order information would be sent through by email. It hasn't.

Sadly deal did not go through with the NHS discount - gave me a number to call to confirm details but when phoning says they have currently closed the line due to a high volume of calls. Spoken to the sales team who said it was due to the NHS discount that the order did not go through but they could redo it. Downside of that is I wouldn't get the cashback through TCB. Has any one else had any success?

Excellent deal shame I still have 10 months left of an existing expensive contract with EE. Hopefully get something like this next year when I'm ready to renew.

Certainly.
Last year I took out a Free tablet and 10GB data per month deal for £10 a month.
In hospital, this week, when I needed it most, my data ran out at 2GB.
They refused to accept that their OWN own shop had given me 10 GB.
Is it the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, or dishonesty?
Probably both!
Not scepticism but stone cold distrust with proof!

Yeah thanks from me too, I almost bought this until I read his "warning"....

How do you apply/find the nhs discount? Thanks

Thanks Aaron. It's amazing that companies are allowed to get away with blatant lies :disappointed:

Does the price revert to £34.99 after 12 months?

EDIT: I just asked them on live chat and the price stays at £19.99.

Do you have anything to backup your scepticism?

It shows £16.49 when I add it

Damn, always miss out on cashbook as I rarely use desktop.

Great thanks, was just about to start looking for a gd sim only deal now my contact is due for renewal with ee, ordered. In my opinion the best signal in the UK.

Just need a decent upgrade from a Samsung galaxy s4 now, strictly android, fairly high spec. Any suggestions ??

Yeap, I clicked specifically on the £19.99 one but it tracked for £73.50 cashback - although I'm taking any cashback at all as a bonus as that's how you should approach it!

Opted for the £21 BT Mobile deal last night, Unlimited Mins/Texts + 20GB Data - what are peoples thoughts? Good deal or opt for this? I too can get the NHS discount so can get for £15.99. Pros of BT are the BT Sports and BT Wifi.

Great find! Just upgraded for this offer. Thanks.

Great deal, if you get an email asking to contact them and the number doesn't work, try 0800 956 6000 as per their website. Had no issues doing it over the phone :smiley:

TCB tracked at £73.50 due to the original price but will probably be decreased down to the £43ish.

Many thanks for posting as o2 contract is up and been itching to switch providers as their signal is rubbish in my area!

I was offered 18GB for £16 a month ago on a retention deal but I decided to hold out.... I've had to request a second PAC number but their "Outbound" team have tried to call me once. Hopefully they will try again and I'll see what they offer now.

I pay towards the NHS can I get a discount?

Well if you think about the EE 200GB offers for £10. Just shows how little cost involved for the providers. They wont offer massively more than a rival if they dont have to.
I watched one episode but found it boring tbh.

Seems to work with NHS discount, making it an even better deal. Which is good since I know it didn't work with Vodafone offers.

Just ported over today to three from EE , on the £20 payg per month but you can't tether on payg, I think I will give it a month and then go back to EE as speeds and signal have been superb for last two years, it was just the 2gb data allowance I had that wasn't

Wish the operators would set up a massive Data SIM with no regard for texts or calls.
I use PAYG for my call and texts and use messaging apps more than texts / calls because they are free.

Would never need unlimited texts and calls. Would much prefer 50GB data for this price with 1000 mins and 1000 texts.

I have been looking for something since my EE 100GB is going to expire soon. I got the 50GB Vodafone offer but on live chat they said tethering is not allowed on PAYG SIMS.

I work for the Police, but im sure we only have Vodafone offers and not EE.

From what I understand, it's for employees of organisations who have Vodafone business plans.

This was £14.79 a month with quidco 2 weeks ago.

EE allow tethering.

Very tempted.

Extra Plan - double speed 4G
16 GB data
Unlimited text messages
Unlimited minutes
12 months plan
Use your minutes and texts in the EU
Now £19.99 (Was £34.99)

Hurry offer ends 14th April 2016

COLD!!! 16 GIGMEGS isn't enough for me to stream tv while i walk down a busy highstreet and walk across roads.

So apparently EE website fxxked again.
I/we shouldn't be able to access the 16.49 page.

Phoned them and took out this contract myself, I mentioned I had been with them for 6 years and they were not willing to move on £19.99.

They stated the only way to get it for £16.49 is to get a relative to buy the deal alongside my contract and this will be £16.49 for them only.

BEWARE EE !!!
Some people who bought a 10GB deal last year have only got 2GB and no sign of them getting what the bought.

​if u are a new customer it's £19.99

if u have a contract already (Inc orange or tm) and you want to add a new one for relative etc, u get 10% off the £34.99 on top of the £15 discount, £16.49

the poster mentions its a retentions deal.

im guessing you'll need to access your ee account and check for offers or call them.

I'd say they are credit checking you because

1) they are giving you something (minutes, texts, data) on the basis you will pay for it over 12 months.
2) you can do a lot moer on a contract phone, such as ring premium rate numbers, rack up huge bills. Again, they're wanting to check you're good for your money

How could I get it drop to £16.49?!

The best data i have seen in a whilst with tether and all for £20.

looks good and even better if they are good with quidco cashbacks as other have ask?

No, BT only does standard speed 4G, unless you pay an upgrade of £4 a month if I remember. I'll try and find a link for you.

There we go: http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/phones-tablets/bt-mobile-extra-speed-4g-11364037773425

You can purchase it as an add on to have double speed 4G.

Good deal. £3 less than their parent company top BT mobile deal. 4GB less data but it's twice as fast as BT Mobile and EE also allows tethering.

Apparently it is only available online now. I know you used to be able to get the discount in store. It should be available via the NHS discount website which you should be able to Google. You should then be able to access the discount and get a unique discount code which you can enter on the ee website and obtain the discount. If that doesn't work, contact your workplace or the relative or friend who works for the NHS which then can check with them to then access the discount. If you don't work for the NHS or similar, but the company that you work for has a deal, check with your company about it and hopefully they should be able to send you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

on here -

http://shop.ee.co.uk/my-offers/sim-only

this is showing up as -

16GB of 4GEE data

Unlimited minutes & texts

£16.49 a month (was £34.99)
£0 upfront

However, why do these phone companies have to do a credit check?

This is only £16.49 a month and i bet you if you dont pay they will cut you off, so why the credit check, they are not potentially losing anything other than a sim card?

p.s.

for existing customers only so that why its
£16.49

so a relative can get you this at this price then :smiley:

How are EE with quidco cashbacks? If anything like BT then it's as good as non existent.

This or BT sim only at £21 per month?? Decisions decisions.

id guess you'd have to work for the NHS. :wink:

It's an employer discount. Mine is a large insurance firm and we have this with ee and vodafone.

imagine its a corporate discount offered by the phone companies to large enough employers.

you're best to check with your employer, they no doubt will have something internal telling you how to get the discount, whether its a code or a process (with me its ringing a set number and setting the discount up) if they do it.

Cheers for replies, I've ordered a couple of sims to see what coverage is like

hmm, tempted. my work have 20% off ee contracts as well.

"Use your minutes and texts in the EU".

Can't find anything about the data side of things in this respect. I presume data is also allowed to be used in the EU as well.

almost jumped out of my skin , saw the image of the EE sim and for a split second thought the 100GB data offer was back on :smiley:

​Agree with this, moved from Three to EE but cancelled and went back as signal around North Essex was no better (=poor). Best to test for yourself in the locations you 'll be using it.

Damn.. just past the 14 days cooling period with Three after signing up to the £20 per month 12 month contract for AYCE min/text/data and 12gb tethering!
EE have much better speeds and 16gb would have been enough! Argh!

can it be used in an iPad?

This sounds pretty good to me. There is also a decent amount of Quidco I think..? I'll have to check later.

£47.25 TopCashBack

Might be worth stating the mins/text allowance or is the just a data sim?

Not a bad deal.
