I thought this a great price for a solid (and yes, fairly basic I know) mobile. Fine for my husband, who's just going to bung in the sim he's already got from that cheap deal. Save £1 on £29.99 offer price when you order by FastTrack online. I suggest you do order online rather than collect in store because otherwise they'll insist you buy with £10 top-up (unless you want that).

This doesn't come with any credit it means the sim card is set up for the £10 everything pack .

I believe this is £19.99 at CPW for anyone eligible for a pay and go upgrade.

Virgin and Vodafone.
That said, if you purchase in store, CPW match the lowest price across all the networks.
Not bad hey :wink:

It's an allowance of minutes, text and data that lasts for 30 days from the day the SIM is activated.
It's easy to convert it to actual £10 of real credit though:
1. Make sure the phone is fully set-up before inserting the SIM for the first time.
2. Insert the SIM into the phone
3. Quickly text STOP PACK to 150 (via SMS messaging).
4. EE will respond asking you to confirm. Reply YES to 150.
This will prevent the £10 Everything pack from activating. The credit can then be used however you like, you can even use it to unlock a phone that is locked to the EE network (uses £8.99 of the remaining credit).
Remember to disable Mobile Data though, as it's quite expensive when not using an allowance pack.

True but there is ZERO credit on this phone.....you have to top it up before use

Oh I see. Either way the STOP PACK text should still work to prevent any further top-ups from converting into an allowance pack.
