Hence Data Sim in title and no mention of mins / texts.

Very good offer for a Data sim :smiley:

Lol, does anyone else find great comments like this cheer you up in the morning. Or have I been staring at this site for too long. :laughing:

It clearly says 'Data SIMO'. I don't see an issue but then again, I'm not an idiot.

Great deal - got it last time around. FR better service than 3 - I'm getting around 50Mbps speeds and whenever I need to speak to someone they are in UK and speak English. I was with 3 - they were a nightmare.
In terms of volume this is just right for us - we use it instead of broadband as the copper speeds where we live (rural) are abysmal. Got rid of the landline and line rental ages ago

I got a few queries about this. Apparently, when you use any device abroad, it 'piggy backs' onto the provider who your own provider has an agreement with, that is why you are able to use calls and texts within your allowance or at local rate dependent on your contract. This SIM is deigned for use within the UK but this can only be defined in the settings. Your device will tell the provider your location when it connects. Hope it works for you.

BTW, be careful that your monthly payments are taken by Direct Debit. I made additional cash payments to prevent the Direct Debit being taken and they charged me for this. Thought I was doing well to pay in advance, clearly not!! The deal is valid for one year.

I know this is an old post but just for anyones info, after talking to customer services to check it would work in Europe I was assured it would as it's the Max plan, however when I got there it didn't, as you mentioned it took me to a page to add data roaming, called customer services and they said Max only works on roaming if it's a 12 month contract!!!
I spoke to CS again and they said it will work once data roaming is scrapped on the 15th June.

I got mine in March and it's £14.50 till March 2018

Got this deal and using sim in an old handset for tethering, texted 'balance' to 150 and the reply said as well as the data I have unlimited minutes and texts remaining. Anyone else get this?

How much was the increase?

Yes same with me, I phoned them up and they agreed to put a credit back on my account which will apply monthly until March 2018..

Has anyone who got this had their 2nd bill yet and had an increase? Got mine and its went up with support saying is due to RPI, however when I had to call initially to confirm the credit details they needed they told me the first RPI increase would be Mar 2018

Under 'Add on's mine says £9.00 Loyalty and £5.00 Loyalty. Called EE yesterday after my SIM arrived. The extra £0.50 shows on their system but is not visible to the customer. I'm all set up and working perfectly!! Great deal until I can find a better one which is doubtful!!

Mine says the same.

Happy days.

Thanks again OP.

Mine says £10.00 Loyalty and 4.00 Loyalty
Not quite the 14.50 but whatever :smile:

Initial broadband test in an osprey are promising 45mbps down and about 25mbps up 32gb allowance as per myee I rang to confirm my order Saturday and it's arrived today.

Just had a call with EE.
They called me over because apparently I had a session with a sim on the basket but didn't finish the order.
Asked about my existing order and provided the orderID. And apparently the order didn't exist.
Probably a problem with the credit check.

So I was able to do a new order with the original deal via the phone and the credit check was fine.

Should get it by monday.

So if you have doubts about your online order give them a call.

My account looks to have been updated overnight. It is showing £29 as the monthly cost but if you go into the 'add- ons' section, the discounts are reflected (2x £6 and 1x £2.50). I have another discounted SIMO account from last year and the cost breakdown is identical to that

Hope that this puts the tin foil hat brigade's concerns to rest!!

It's a 4G mobile device. Little black box I picked up from Currys a few years back when my Virgin internet went down and they claimed it would be 3 days before they could come sort it. Allows me to have 15 devices connected via wifi to it. Very handy for holidays, but most importantly I just keep it for backup purposes as I work from home mostly.

Just checked, this is a very good deal! http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/phones-broadband-and-sat-nav/broadband/mobile-broadband/4gee-mini-pay-monthly-mobile-wifi-10146703-pdt.html ... I'd get that, and bin the SIM it comes with, then cancel after a month on it. Info claims 10 devices, but if I logon to mine, says 15 devices can be used.

@ukez lol :-D

These are also Osprey's

My order was placed on 03/03/2017 as well. They clearly had issues that day.

Osprey?? What's that? I thought that was body armour!!

SIM arrived today. Popped it into my Osprey, worked straight away... As usual, first call of business was to fire up speedtest: Ping: 29ms // Ave Download: 62.93Mbps // Ave Upload: 43.13Mbps ... very nice! Beats my 70Mbps cable connection :laughing:

Just got an email saying my order is now on its way, I ordered on the 3/3 so maybe they were having issues with the demand for orders.

The email does say


We’ll send you a text when your order is on it’s way. Pay Today Pay Monthly
Voucher code AWDATAMAR32 Half Price 4G Data Sim Data 32GB Was £29 Now £14.50
------ £14.50
Total Including VAT
£0.00 £14.50

Sorry for bad formatting :smile:

I got my sim today, everything works and the price is right.

What does the email say that you received from EE? Mine reflects the correct discounted price and I would expect the website to update in due course

When I go on My EE website it says mine will be 30 quid :disappointed:
OH no

You need to contact them on the number on the confirmation email. I had same problem and they advised me that my order had been cancelled. The advisor did it over the phone but it took about 15 mins. Then got a confirmation email that it was confirmed then a further email stating it was on its way.

I spoke to EE earlier and now have Email confirmation that my SIM is on its way and it is costing me £14.50 per month. I did though have a problem that my original order was cancelled which EE advised me when I called them. I really don't see how anyone can say this is a con? You pay by DD and if you don't have your SIM or get the 32GB it is a 1 month rolling contract so cancel it and report it. The cost to EE would be massive.

Don't know who this is who is posting this nonsense. The deal was originally posted by a 3rd party however the SIM's are sent out by EE AND controlled by EE. EE customer services know of the deal and can access orders at their end but cannot apply the code. If you have already placed an order they can access it and assist as it actually exists. The deal has now expired but EE are still processing current orders.

Ok, explain how it's a con, or are you just trolling here? I've 2 existing data SIM cards, since 2005 with EE. Tried to get one of them upgraded to this deal by calling EE, they couldn't so suggested I cancel my current 2 and place a new order for this one online. Which I did, via the link here. Got email notification of my order, the following day another email saying I've already numbers tied to the account and couldn't continue order saying I should call them... I called the number supplied, explained about the other 2 SIMs and that I was advised to cancel them and get the new one as they couldn't process it their side. They sorted it all within 8 minutes and released the order. Guess what, I've just logged into my EE account and can now see 3 SIMs ... one of which is on the way to me still. So please... how can this deal be a con?
Or wait a minute...have these con artists somehow managed to hack EE and messed about with my account!? :stuck_out_tongue::stuck_out_tongue:

Just called them as well as my SIM hadn't arrived which I ordered on 03/03/2017. Was advised that as my order stated TWO SIMs (which it didn't) that EE had cancelled the order. Managed to get it re-instated and it is on its way.

I will wait till Friday and if I do not receive anything I will give them another call.

I had to call them because only 2 of the 3 sims I ordered arrived. They had to re do the order for the missing sim and it took ages, they do seem to be having IT issues today.

I just called the Digital Sales Department regarding my order I placed on Friday and this morning someone said it has been referred to the fraud department and now when I called someone said they are having problems with their system and people will get a call back regarding orders?

It says £29.00 on website today

Thanks autopilot, I appreciate the information :-)

Thought I'd ring them and glad I did. Everything is hopefully sorted.

It's not, it's an EE deal. It's an EE package, The deal is on EE's website, it runs on the EE network, EE provide the SIM, EE bill you, and there is nothing on the packaging or paperwork that mentions anyone else other than EE. EE has contracted a company to run the EE digital (online) sales department (for mobile broadband), but that's common and does not make this a third party deal.

EDIT: I see you have changed your post since I replied, glad you got it sorted.

Just called the number on the email as my sim hadn't turned up. My order had 'somehow' got cancelled, the lady said, in error.
She then manually re-created the order, complete with discount.

Gotta say the person I talked to sounded very professional and handled everything perfectly. Even got the usual EE text message (249) asking me for feedback on the call.

Confirmation that the new order is on the way has been received too.

14.50 ongoing.

is this continually 14.50 per month or just for the first month and reverts back to £29?

is this continually 14.50 per month or just for the first month and reverts back to £29?

but true

I wouldn't if I were you.

Posting this reply from Portugal. I got this SIM when the offer was on earlier. Brought it with me on holiday, but can't use here. Sending me off to a page to get me to buy a roaming data add-on. Support said - not all MAX plans support EU roaming data - this one isn't one of those that do.

Odd, link now working. Thanks.

Don't blame him. Have you seen the state of the nearside lanes lately. Signed MLH

Don't be an idiot.

Oh don't be so silly.

EE say it's a con. It's nothing to do with them and tons people getting charged £29 a month. Stay away. Even EE's half price deals come back to £61 a month after 2 years and Its near impossible to cancel, I have tried to ask if I could

They and hotukdeals are conning the public. Anyway sorry but I wanted a deal but I have to be up early

BEWARE of the cons

Accept that you don't.

EE say it's 3rd party deal. You will get charged £29 a month. Beware

Good deal for those who need data sim

can i use this sim to replacement my BT business boardband currently paying over 40+VAT per month

Tried clicking the deal link? Works for me still:
http://shop.ee.co.uk/cart?discounts=AWDATAMAR32&WT.

Can't find it on the site and the code doesn't work, help!

I ordered mine on Friday but have not heard anything yet apart from the initial confirmation.

The Deal officially ends Midnight tonight, (Tuesday 7th March).

Last time the deal was still present until 7 am the day after the finish date....so for this that would make it 7am on the 8th of march....no way of knowing if it will be the same this time though

Ordered Friday, Delivered Monday. Sorted

Has this deal ended now or anyone know what time it ends?

I bought this a few weeks ago when posted and it's well worth the money, great deals.

Called them and they managed to sort it out. It's because of the other 2 SIMs I have with them. Looks like I could have upgraded one of them to this deal rather than cancel both and start a new line. No matter, I let them proceed with the new order and leaving the other 2 to be cancelled. I must say, calling the other 0800 number they provided in the email was way quicker than the one I tried calling initially (EE), so seems to be as you say a separate team or company. I was done within 8 minutes of dialling up :smiley:

For those talking about calls and texts, wouldn't it be possible to call and text via whatsapp or similar as this uses data?

​Use Mobilevoip callback, can send texts through it too.
The app is stable and functional

Me ive heared nothing back other then the dpd team will be in contact? I have my referene number so pretty sure ive been accepted

Would be hot but poor 4G coverage in NI suprising since:

"Biggest 4G coverage: 95.23% 4G population coverage as at 31st Jan 2016, EE data."

Anyone else put an order in and got the order confirmation and have heard nothing back?

Order was put in on Friday.

You need to measure what you're already using- if you watch a lot of films etc in hd then you might want to look more closely.

To add to Autopilots reply : I get good reception as the mast is very close. I just use a Huawei mi-fi and connect everything through wifi. The downside is if you have any network kit that needs wires and a router, but there are 4g routers put there. I've positioned the mifi in the best position for good reception and good wifi retransmission (by doing some speed tests with it in various locations).

Many thanks for the help mate, didn't think to search that way. They really should have a post search function for people that don't have the time to read every post :wink:

Wow, that's good for voda. Are we finally on the verge of a proper replacement for fixed line broadband that's affordable? Long time coming if it is.

Likewise here with Three for many many years without issues except in Filey (North Yorkshire) where the Three (& all other providers except O2) signal was ****.

You should've called retentions and said you were cancelling, they'd offer it then. There was a 64gb deal on here recently (double data) and someone grabbed it for £29 i think. Voda are doing 50gb for £25 so theres finally some competition in big data

I used the ctrl+f feature to search for "mifi" and it seems like it will work :smiley:

Reading the thread is helpful. It gets quite tiresome when people can't be bothered, and our email gets spammed with the same questions over and over. It's basic Internet forum courtesy.

helpful.

I had the same message but mine was down to putting my EE mobile down as the phone contact number on the application form...and the fact that I was eligible for an upgrade on that number. All sorted out by an excellent chap from Digital Sales in the North East :smiley:

Read the f... thread. It's been asked and answered a number of times.

What happens when the allowance is used. Does it just stop or begin to charge extra?

Can I just double check that this will work on an unlocked mifi dongle? About to order... Many thanks!

​ they told me on the phone 15gb can be used in EU. Can I trust them?

EE retentions still giving Sim only deal: unlimited mins, unlimited text, 20Gb data, 500Mb EU data £15 p/m. 12 month contract as of today if anyone's going out of contract.

I took this deal out last year as well - it went up 1p in January to £14.51.

I had the exact same message in an email. It was a error in processing the order. These orders are being manually processed by a contractor. By the time I had called the number the chap in 'digital sales' told me it had already been fixed. some people working there are getting confused by the fact some of us are putting multiple orders in (as I say, another company they have outsourced too - thus the normal EE sales/support can't help much and often don't even know this deal exists). Just call the number, they will sort it.

Just managed to get my current deal which I was paying £20 to match this deal with 1 months free. (Using webchat service) not over the phone.

It will be £14.50 until March 2018, when it goes up by the Retail Prices Index for January 2018.

Thanks. I also called them to confirm and indeed this would work in the dongle. Ordered thanks op!

That's a bit of a strange message if you have put a new order in, I would give them a call as it says and let them proceed the order with the additional line and let the old one cancel.

Mm ... I called them on Sunday asking if I could upgrade one of my data only sims. I had two. They couldn't find info on the deal and couldn't process it. My aim was to cancel one of them and upgrade the other to this new one. Anyway, they couldn't do it and suggested I cancel both and order online with the deal I was looking at. The old SIMs will remain active till 5th April. Got confirmation of my order etc soon after I placed it.
I've now received this nugget not long ago:
You recently placed an order online however the number you have requested is already active on EE. If you wish to upgrade please call our upgrades team on 150 otherwise if you wish to continue with a 2nd line please contact our Digital Sales Team on 0800 079 0531.
Great! Anyone had similar?

If its an unlocked 4G dongle it will work.

It will be £14.50 p/m until they decide to increase the price.

I ordered mine on Friday got the order confirmation but have not received anything else.

Will this work in a 4G dongle?

Just to double check. 1st month it will be 14.50£. But subsequent months will be 29£, correct?
and I can cancel after 30days.

Or is it 14.50£pm for several months?

Hi dooper. Me too, initial email and debit but still awaiting despatch email. Ordered on Thursday so hopefully it'll be here soon.

Mine's on it's way now I received an email asking me to call them, just to go over the contract details.

Anyone know if this plan is eligible for the 3 months free BT Sport offer?

Thanks OP. Heat added. Ordered it on Thursday. Received an email same day confirming successful order, & promising a text when SIM dispatched. £2 was debited as expected. I haven't received the dispatch text yet ... too soon to worry?

Shame there's no calls and texts :disappointed: Can't be too hard to add them

I got this deal before (two of them), cancelled BT and recently rang up and got it doubled to 64GB for £23.something a month on 12 month contract so about £47 for 128GB. Thought this was good but some of you are getting better deals.

Are we seriously still having this conversation?

IT'S CLEARLY MARKED AS A DATA SIM. IT CANNOT BE MORE CLEAR. HOW CAN YOU GET IT WRONG?!

Thanks for your suggestion, just try it ,well done!

For crying out loud, what is misleading about "data SIM?" The only misleading thing is you have misled yourself! Please understand the word "misleading" before you use it. I suspect what you are really trying to infer is that you have no confidence in yourself in interpreting data and want to know from others if voice minutes are included. That is fine if your grasp of the English language is substandard but don't blame others for misleading you.

Three is much better value for data

WITH THREE, YOU CAN ONLY USE 12GB OF YOUR ALLOWANCE ABROAD, UNLESS THEY'VE CHANGED IT.....

YES YOU SHOULD BE OK.........

Hi can anyone tell me if this is enough data to use instead of wifi ? Would it last the full month Browsing for a good few hours a day and using apps such as whatssap snap chat selling sites etc. Thanks to anyone who can help :smiley:

Correct.

Maybe you need to get out more :stuck_out_tongue:

@Fear345 - These orders have to be manually processed. And it's the weekend.

Just to clarify, this is 14.50 for every month until you stop not just the first month?

Has anyone had an email confirmation? I placed the order yesterday but haven't received any sort of email.

One thing to note, the mini's don't appear to 'auto on' if the battery dies. I'm using this for a blackvue dashcam with cloud functions and need it to act like the USB dongles - turn on on power on.

Yes - but get one with a connector for an external antenna (the HUAWEI mifi's Three currently supply have a connector hidden behind a small flap). You don't need an antenna like the ones discussed before, a mini one (although the bigger ones are better). They are relatively cheap too. The trouble with caravans is that they are a metal box and play havoc with mobile signals, you might get away with it in a window, but having the antenna will help a lot.

Same here.

I've been told a mini one for static caravan. Would this be correct?

Please will you post "the link for the 64gb with yellow router"?

Thanks Autopilot. I will look on ebay

Because so many people have had them for free, but not needed them (I ended up with 3 I did not need, because they came with the deal) you will find a lot of them unused (and often unlocked) on eBay very cheap.

If you are only planning to use it at home, then it's not one of the mini ones you want really.

Has anyone bought their WIFI MINI for £49.99? Is it any good or are there better hot spot devices out there? Also, it comes with a 5Gb add on - per month or a one off?
Any ideas? Thanks...

I found this eventually while trying to find out the terms and conditions. It is only the 12 month plan with EU roaming included. The 30 day plan does not.
Also they don't like you to use it in a mobile phone - See the bit in bold...


30 Days and 12 month SIM Only Plans
You’ll have to promise to stay with us for 30 days or 12 months and pass our standard credit check. Your monthly payment is for an allowance of UK mobile broadband data accessed using your own dongle, 4GEE enabled Wi-Fi device (“4GEE Wi-Fi”) or tablet to connect to the internet. To use our 4G network you’ll need a compatible 4GEE Wi-Fi device which you purchased on the EE, T-Mobile or Orange networks or through an authorised retailer. If you join an EE Extra plan, you’ll also get access to double speed 4GEE and a 500MB allowance of data that can be used when you’re travelling in the EE Europe Roaming Zone (described below). Once you’ve used your inclusive allowance of roaming data, you’ll have to buy a data-add on to continue using the internet abroad.
You’ll need 3G or 4G coverage to use the internet. You can only use internet on our 4G network if you’re within a 4G enabled area, in range of a 4G base station and have a compatible 4G device. 4G is currently only available in select cities in the UK. Your device may not be compatible with any 4G network outside the UK. You can check your 3G and 4G coverage at ee.co.uk/coverage
Each mobile broadband option gives you a data allowance to use each month. We’ll let you know by text when your data is running low (80% of your allowance used up) and when it has run out.
If you join a plan with a monthly data allowance of 3GB or less, you can experience speeds of up to 30Mbps only. Plans with a data allowance of 4GB or more could experience 4GEE speeds over 30Mbps, where double speed 4GEE is available and depending on a range of factors affecting speed and coverage such as your location; whether any trees or buildings are affecting your signal; and what the building is made from if you’re using your phone indoors. Check your coverage at ee.co.uk/coverage.
You can use your mobile broadband to make internet phone calls (‘VoiP’). Remember, you can use mobile internet on your laptop/tablet for peer to peer file sharing but your speed will be slower than usual as we monitor our network to protect it for all customers. Please see the network management policies on our website for more information. We won’t

charge you anymore if you reach your monthly data allowance, but you won’t be able to use the internet. To continue to use mobile broadband once you reach your monthly data allowance, you will need to buy one of our data add-ons to use mobile broadband until your next bill date. The cost of your data-add on will be added to your bill.
If you don’t use mobile broadband in accordance with these terms and conditions or if you use your SIM card in another internet enabled device, for example a mobile phone, we reserve the right to withdraw your mobile broadband plan. We will also charge you for the additional services that you have used. For more information about these charges, please read the Non-Standard Charges Price Guide at ee.co.uk/priceguides.

UK Data Add-ons – all plans
If your monthly data allowance run outs, you can choose to buy one of these data add-ons. If you try to use mobile internet once your monthly data allowance has run out, we’ll direct you to our data add-ons page. A data add-on gives you additional data to use for UK mobile internet until your next bill date (at which point your monthly data allowance starts again). You’ll be charged the full cost of the data add-on no matter when you buy it and when your bill date occurs. If you don’t use all the data before your bill date, it won’t roll over to the next month and you’ll lose it. You won’t be entitled to any pro-rated refund of unused data.
The speed of your data add-on will depend on which price plan you originally joined. For example, if you purchased a plan with 15GB or more, you will experience our double 4G speeds. If you purchased a plan with less data than this, you’ll experience our 4GEE speeds.

Roaming Broadband Data Add-ons – all plans
To use mobile broadband using a dongle or 4GEE Wi-Fi device when you’re roaming abroad, you'll need to buy one of our roaming broadband data add-ons. When you try and go on the internet either through your browser or via an app in your destination country you’ll be offered a choice of data add-ons relevant to the country you are in.
All add-ons last for 30 days from when you buy it or until you have used your data allowance up, whichever comes first in time. For a pay monthly customer the cost of the add-on will be added to your monthly bill. Remember we count the 30 day period based on UK time. Once your add-on runs out, you'll have to buy another one in order to connect to the internet whilst roaming. You can use the data in any of the countries in the relevant zone for the period of time that the add-on is valid. Remember, if you go outside any of the countries in

Same but after I rung up it's all sorted - £13 a month with 50% off and 10% off existing customer. Obviously I'll be checking!

Watch your bill. I've received my bill today. They have charged me full amount and live chat are absolute morons.

As in the mins and texts yeah

I've had the 32gb data sim from a few months back with EE on the £14.50, I've just been on live chat, to up it to 64gb at first he couldnt find it so i sent the link for the 64gb with yellow router. Anyway long story short, double data given, now 64GB but instead of £14.50, the total bill is now £13.50 per month rolling contract I've made a copy of the transcript, and my new bill date doesnt update till 22nd. Cant see it updated yet on the EE app or in my account, but assured it will be updated.

This is sound advice. The only thing I would change in the recommendation for a directional antenna, as they require almost perfect line-of-sight for optimal performance. In my experience even a couple of trees (especially when cover in leaf in the summer) cause issue. Omni directional ones, in my experience, might a give slightly lower speeds but are much more reliable (I think you can get some new hybrids now, but I don't know anything about them). If your head was where the antenna is positioned and you can't see the mast (or the building it's on) go for omni.

If you watch a movie a day, plus other usage, you would probably burn 32gb in about a week IMO. Some movies I watched recently were around 4gb. Some apps/services allow you to restrict the bitrate/quality, but other don't and automatically default to a high bitrate (and thus file size) if your connection speed can handle it (which it usually can). If I remember correctly, the amazon prime app on my iPhone has the option, but the version on most smart TV's doesn't. It can be quite annoying, you have to be constantly vigilant about what service you are using. A while back my Sky Q box downloaded loads of HD programmes because it had a setting I was unaware of that automatically downloads the series if you watch an episode, this wiping out my remaining data allowance and leaving us without internet at home for a week.

Get LTE modem/router, use included external antennas for time being.

Huawei B593 for example is a first generation LTE Cat3-4 modem (not for LTE+ speeds basically), they go cheap(ish) nowadays on flea-bay. Depending from Vodafone's used LTE frequencies, buy a pair of directional MIMO antennas for that frequency, point them at your cell tower and will have a great reception and a much better speed.

It depends what you will be streaming. Videos love heavy data. A movie every day or two and some browsing?

Remember - if you have any problems with ordering this deal, DO NOT phone the numbers on the EE website.

As I found out this morning (I already suspected, but now know for certain); The online mobile broadband sales department running this deal are not the same department as the normal EE sales team. In fact, it's a completely different company which EE are sub contracting in. I spoke to them this morning and they were brilliant. The other EE sales team know very little about the online deals, some don't even acknowledge these deals exist (they are also on sales commission/targets, so they will try and steer you towards a deal they can sell you - which may be better, but usually isn't).

If you are lucky, they will transfer you to the right people, as some people have found out. But cut out the middle man and call the digital sales team responsible for this deal on on 08000790531.

Great deal. I picked this SIM up when the offer was on around Christmas​ time. My plan was to use this SIM and Three's 321 Payg SIM in my dual-SIM smartphone as I am a very light user of mins/texts but certainly need them at times.

However I cancelled soon after when Three were offering 30Gb data, 200 mins and unlimited texts for £15/month. This pretty much works out the same as the dual-SIM method (if you use mins/texts lightly), except everything is in one place/SIM.

When you say 4g router - is this the osprey mini 2? Or are there other better ones?

I'm wanting this for a static caravan with poor reception from my phone provider (Vodafone). EE is the best network on site so this would be ideal to use for Fire stick for the tv. Anyone know roughly how much tv you can stream on this amount of data?

I was lucky enough to have my billing renewal date today on an existing account and they've taken the full £29 less 10% existing customer discount

Needless to say I'll be on the phone to them as soon as I'm awake enough!

Ffs EE why do you always do this!

I bought a similar half price deal last year, it was £15 for about 25GB. On the purchase page I received a message saying I had to call them to complete the order. Then from day one they charged me the full price of £30 and I had to ring them up explain the deal I had purchased and that it should be £15. After 4 months of being billed the incorrect amount and calling EE I gave up and cancelled.

​Nice..! Probably depends on who u speak to..

MINE HAS 100 TEXTS INCLUDED.....

I get you
8
I get you too OP

Just give up this cat fight you two, just take it out in a *ing and sort it out with a kiss.....

I was looking for something like this for a recent purchase thanks.

Will this work in Europe when they scrap roaming charges in June this year?

You're a pedant sonny.

i have tried ee app and can see only data addon..

i have logged in online but no luck

i have tried using text activation but no luck.

i have tried live chat and they say it does not support on data tariff sim

and finally i called cs and they say its impossible to add minutes booster.

You could be lucky to add in the begining as they wont allow atall.

I just need a month to try it out how it works within my area. Should I cancel within my two weeks or cancel before starting my second month?

Tried calling twice to switch an exiting contract and the agents could not help. Had to cancel and order a new SIM.

I had this deal from last year, however I missed the 64gb upgrade. I've rang them yesterday and had a chat with nice bloke. Unfortunately the 12 month deal had expired, however they offered me the 64gb for £16.60 for 24 months. I took it as good deal anyway for my laptop broadband. However people here are reporting they get the 4g dongle? I wonder can I call them and ask for the device?
Regards

Well they sent me an email to ring an 0800 number staff not knowing about the offer. 20 minutes I was on the phone. It was all sorted but I'm not taking any chances I've recorded the call as proof if they charge 29 as I've heard lots of horror stories on here about discounts not being applied

I got the 64gb deal a while back ( upgraded from 25gb with EE ) and also got the mifi free. Great deal for 16 pounds! The mifi box is no quicker than the crappy old LG 3g phone that I used to tether prior.

This deal is much better than 3 ( 40gb deal for £20 - and EE is much quicker from my own personal experience ) who are always changing the terms on their deals. You also get 100 texts... I would advise anyone thinking about it to get it because it will be withdrawn at some point soon.

I am no massive fan of EE all in service but I have used their data for tethering at my office for over a year and it has been flawless. Far better and much quicker than my home broadband in fact..

I can only get 3G from Three at home, close to town center, otherwise I'd drop EE and go with one of their AYCE contracts

​yes 3 network works well in my area too

i get up to 100 Mbps dl and over 30 ul

and also thats the only mobile network where ddns service and port forwarding works

I can recommend this router for mobile broadband users that use the mobile broadband at Home

http://mobilebroadbandmodems.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/tp-link-archer-mr200-4g-router-review.html

I tried that but as it needed a code to get the reduced price they said it was from a third party, so I had to cancel one and start another, which has raised another issue wih EE I'm not happy with.

I suppose it depends who you speak to and if they can be bothered to do some work for you.

Thanks, hot here!:sunglasses:

Can't go wrong with Three, although this is a good price!

Getting 66mb/s DL and 33mb/s UL on Three.

with the osprey you will get back and forth 3g to 4g like on your phone.i have had the same problem now just using 3g MiFi.

Buy a 4g router if that's what you want to do. Will be cheaper than a smart phone and 100 times better.

Yes

I bet you're a BMW/Audi driver that aggressively flashes and tailgates anyone doing under 100mph.

As I say, this isn't immediately obvious.

The iPhone 4 is not 4G enabled so you'd only get 3G speed :disappointed:

Trade in your iPhone 4 and buy a cheap 4G Android phone to use as a hotspot or mifi device to get the EE 4G speeds that come with this deal :smiley:

Because I would like to stick it in an old iPhone 4 and then tether it to the house?.

100 texts per month, no minutes. Its a mobile broadband sim for dongle and Mifi primarily not marketed for phone usage. No you cannot buy minutes or text add ons.

Anyway to get minutes or texts on this too? A small amount would do, I rarely use minutes and texts

why would you want to tether its a mobile broadband sim for laptops or phones?

Can I use this in an old iPhone 4 and teather it?.

I'm planning on using in rural Wales as my home broadband as the wifi speed is appalling.

My question is do the MIFI osprey type of devices work better than a spare Moto E phone I'm planning on using.

Currently my EE signal on my phone goes back on forth between 3G/4G and I was wondering a MIFI device would give a better and more consistant 4g signal?

Great explanation, was wondering how you'd get a decent 4G signal if you're far from a transmitter but all makes sense. Seems a far cry from the days of satellite broadband for the downlink.

Ordered on 1st March, received the initial confirmation showing the discount but nothing further. Thought to give EE a call today to chase it up and after 15 minutes on hold was told there was a "technical glitch" meaning the order hadn't been placed. The CS rep then placed the order and I got a confirmation email 10 minutes later. However, this later email didn't show the discount so I called again and after another 10 mins on hold was told it would be applied. I'm still sceptical so perhaps somebody who had the order go through could advise whether the second order confirmation (Your order's on its way one) does show the 50% discount or not. I can just envisage having to go through calling EE every month to get the discount applied!

Seem's I'm cursed with ordering such things online just now - similar experience to what happened with Virgin last month! Nice deal nonetheless - hot for sure!

How?

Thanks, ordered.

3 is garbage

The clue is you 'called'. It's an online only offer and it's still active online.

It says it is only an online offer.

I just took it out 15 mins ago online and when I click on the link it is still there?

Can I pay cash to the shop for this deal every month?

Just been told offer no longer valid online when I called offer is now for 64gb option half price @£35

HELP :confused:

​in Swindon three network is not bad

sometimes i get up to 100 Mbps download and over 30 Mbps upload

https://youtu.be/7G6WydcXiWw

​thats even better :sunglasses:

It will go up by the Retail Prices Index (RPI) in March 2018 and every subsequent March, the offer page says.

good find heat added :wink:

On a retention deal here and seeing full price but have spoken to others who've seen the same thing and confirmed the discount is hidden.

Yet last time it showed as a special tariff.

I think it probably depends on the person at the other end and how they implement it - one way may be less effort than the other and I'm guessing the discount rather than the custom tariff...

No, you put an antenna on the side of your house. If you have line of sight to the transmitter you use an directional one, if not an omni-directional one (most people do that I know, but the locations of the masts are all published online to be sure). Should cost about £80-£150 for a good one. It's really very easy to do, lots of websites available. Also make sure you get the best router you can, the one I linked above is generally regarded as the gold standard for most installations, because they cope extremely well with low/poor signals in very remote areas.

You might be ok with the router on the right side of the house, preferably in an upstairs window. But a proper external antenna will make a huge difference. A guy I know was getting about 8mbps with it in a window, but now gets 25mbps and much lower pings with an external antenna. Some people get 50mbps plus.

You can then surf/game/stream away with all your wifi devices connected just like any other router. You won't be able to tell the difference from normal broadband - you just need a good data allowance. I need at least 150gb a month and my kids love YouTube and we watch stuff on Amazon prime. (But we also need sky). Gaming is almost flawless, regularly see pings of around 25.

It's not cheap (but not that expensive either really). It's the price I pay for living in a beautiful remote country location.

Does someone know how it works in Germany? if it works there*?
thkns ^^

My app says £14.50, I never see £29.99 (I got the deal last time it was on).

I just spoke to EECustomer Services and they confirmed that it shows as £29 on the app/my EE but confirmed there is a 50% discount applied which is not visible that reduces this to £14.50.

Should be the same for everyone that took the deal using the link OP supplied above (like me) :smiley:

What is the kit you can use in rural areas with these sims to have home
Broadband?

Hi new to this so bear with me..I moved to a rural area up a mountain and home broadband with ee and landline were both really poor. Had them disconnected. Have mobile contract with them which is up for upgrade the ee signal for data and phone is ok on one side of house. People talking about using this as home broadband with router how does that work and would it work in my case can the router be located on the good side of house?

tethering?

You're forgetting the thousands of people like me who live in rural locations who get poor/no ADSL service, let alone fibre. We rely on these deals for our broadband.

In some parts of the world, such as SA, LTE (4G) is becoming the primary way of getting internet. The upside of that for me is that there are now some excellent kit on the market, we just need good data deals.

I asked when calling (after starting the order online). It should be on, I will ring but I meant more in my account online etc.

call and ask to add the discount.. last time it was not added so had to ring them up.

I've got my sim. The only price I can see though is £29. Where can I confirm the £14.50 less 10% charge?

This is a very good deal, especially if you have a Buzzard for Wifi in the car. Kids in the back with Ipads and access to YouTube Kidz is essential. Currently have a PAYG with EE as bought the device with pre-loaded data and will seemingly be unable to merge accounts. Hope I get accepted and it arrives soonest!!

​5 lines in 1 account max.

you need to get a new line as a new customer. I was asked if i am already ee and said no. Later on next page it says i am existing customer. You have to choose no and continue and that way you get a new line under a new account.

i have got 5 lines plus 4 lines in 2nd acc and 1 in 3rd which is data sim

I was on the same deal and just chatted online and got 32GB for £14 so saved £1 and got an extra 7GB data per month. Worth a chat (make sure you are logged into account)

I've just received my EE SIM card in the post - Thanks OP :wink:

That was quick - just had 2 emails saying the SIMs have been dispatched.

5 lines is the maximum, after that you 'fail the credit check'

I have 2 sim only
1 data sim
2 shared data sims

therefore was not allowed anything else. Cancelled one of the above and I should be fine now apparently...

When calling they said that email goes out if you fail credit check, they just aren't that honest!

Oh right, well that's bit different from failing a credit check. Fingers crossed I'll be ok!

Website said accepted, first email said accepted, 2 days later get an email saying I need to call them because my £2 card check payment failed... pretty sure I have £2 in my bank the day after payday! Lol

How many do you have?

Does not make any sense at all for a company to turn away customers like that, it's only a 30 day contract with no device being supplied that they have to subsidise. They could easily just cancel the few non-paying customers, it would so them no harm. I suspect EE might l have decided that it's too popular and are looking for ways to limit it, I used to work in the mobile industry and I can't think of any other reason to turn people away. Occasionally a deal can be deemed as too popular, as it gets to a point where it can be detrimental to sales after the deal ends.

I just put 2 orders in and said it was accepted fine, I would just have to wait for email confirming delivery details. Does that mean I could still be declined?

Ordered 2 days ago, declined today "due to bad credit" (my credit file is fine!) Was told that in order to get this SIM I would have to give EE a deposit of £100 for 3 months, once I've paid the bill for 3 months they will credit the £100 back to my EE account and it will then be used against my future line rental... WTF!?? Seems a little ridiculous...

Spoken to them this morning, I already have the maximum number of lines apparently. Nothing to do with credit

​I bought this Sim last year. Just had email re price increase. Example shows 37 pence on £14.99 contract. so slightly less.

Exactly the same here! Rural and only get 0.5mbps on adsl, when working. Ditched it years ago and use a HUAWEI router with antenna on roof. Had 3 for about 8 years but the CC in India was terrible and the would never do any good deals, even though I had 5 12 month contracts. This deal will mean less sim swapping and less cost. Plus EE has lower pings for gaming. Bye bye Three!

Well I just took out 2 more, so I'm not sure that's the exact reason you were declined.

It's increased in March. They're advertising £14:50 for this March, which hopefully means no increase for a year. If it is it's only about 40p

Just ordered 2, which means I have 3 now on this deal as I took the deal out when it was last on. Might take a 4th, just trying to decide.

Means I can cancel my 4 Three contracts, saving me money and less sim swapping (can't get ADSL where I live).

Will EE let me combine all my contracts onto one SIM?

​Oneplus Three

Use the EE app go to addons and it has a load of options one is text and voice add on (200 mins unlimited sms £7.50)

If u recently took a sim out with them they will make you wait 3 months

Hahhahahahhahha
U either work for three or had never contacted their customer service

EE noooooooooo

'On every EE contract the monthly price plan charge will be increased by RPI in March of each year. Other prices, such as call charges and Roaming costs, may also go up during your plan. Your first annual RPI increase will take place in March 2017.'

Price increases next month. Just a heads up, not a criticism.

I already have a contract for minutes with EE. Can I merge the data plan with my current plan onto one sim card / mobile number

Is that AYCE mins too ?

The EE shop seems to be undergoing an upgrade or something and is currently down.

With that in mind re: Osprey MIFI, does anyone know where I can get one without data ie: just buy one? Preferably a shop rather than a mush on Ebay?

I take it there is no such thing as a "cheap as chips" MIFI for a tenner anywhere? Same goes for a 4G second phone I could use?

For those of us currently paying £15/month for AYCE data (SIM only, I've never had a handset from Three) it really isn't a great deal!

Might be worth getting a payg SIM to check, but the friends option sounds good :smiley:.

received a letter from 3 offering me this tariff, but worth give them a call.

My phone is on Three and no complaints about unlimited data and feel at home and all the rest of it. Trouble is where I now live there is zero zilch nada Three signal even though the coverage map says there is. If I went for this EE deal what's the best way to check beforehand that I have signal? All I can think of is keep asking my friends until I find one with EE then ask them for dinner.

The minimum term of your existing contract has finished so it’s time for you to select a new contract with us.

We’ve got some awesome new deals which aren’t available on the high street. Our way of saying thanks.

If you don’t do anything, we’ll automatically move you to the plan set out in Option 3.

We’d hate to see you leave, but if you’re not happy with any of these options, you can of course give us 30 days notice.


Option 1.
Your current plan. Your new plan.






All-you-can-eat Data
30GB Personal hotspot
All-you-can-eat Texts
All-you-can-eat Minutes
12 Month contract

Discounted to: £19 per month
Choose this plan.
Option 2.
Your current plan. Your new plan.






30GB Data
All-you-can-eat Texts
All-you-can-eat Minutes
12 Month contract

Discounted to: £18 per month
Choose this plan.
###Option 3.
If we haven't heard from you in 30 days (refer to your letter for an exact date), you'll automatically be moved onto this 1-month rolling SIM plan.

All-you-can-eat Data
30GB Personal hotspot
All-you-can-eat Texts
All-you-can-eat Minutes
1 month contract

£22 per month

This is great for 3 AYCE customers - automatically dropping from £X a month with handset to £22 rolling sim that's a £10 saving on the 12 month AYCE £32 sim.

This is fairness in a abundance that customers out of contract are moved to a unsubsidised plan rate$.


Quite shocked any network done this as it's a revenue loss. Well done 3!


Wonder if I could move my Broadband Casual to £22 AYCE ? :smile: 32GB on EE or 30GB and unlimited handset data, mins & texts.

Call them, you probably failed internal security - happened to me adding a third sim only, I sent a complaint online from their webpage and they called me apologies and all to confirm if I still wanted it.

Of course I declined and told them I ordered a Voda sim online and already collected in store by the time they called me so they were too late. More apologies.

If you order online as a new customer you go through a card check and it completes, then they contact you asking if you want a new account or added to current - that's what the young lad at EE told me that called.

Been looking for a data deal for a while. This ticks all the boxes.

Existing customer offers for those of us on expired deals - http://www.three.co.uk/SIMplans6

Too true, my old man is on the edge of a major city and his broadband speed on ADSL2+ is not even near a fifth of the 17MB product BT say it is most the time.

I've been out the country where there is 200KBPS and other exchanges where no broadband in the exchange is present in the last year! You can have a landline for calls only like the 60s :laughing:

​never worked for me.. how did u do that?

Yes, But done it again and it went through no problems. So try again and make sure you spell your name right as on your bank account, and the address is the one register to the bank account

What tariff are you on to get that? Is the data really unlimited?

Was that something you negotiated with them over the phone?

Fantastic deal. I am currently on 10GB for £10/month and due to expire soon
32 GB data and rolling contract - Brilliant
Thankyou to whoever posted this

Who needs lots of data - people who live in rural areas where wired broadband speeds suck. Getting 50mbps data through this is a godsend compared with the 500kbps I used to get through copper. Plus no more need to pay BT for line rental!! Personally it's a win-win for us.

Anyone else failed the credit check? I have 4 lines with EE, fantastic credit history and haven't missed a payment with them in 4 years with bills regularly over £120 a month.

Seems a little odd, wish I hadn't put in the existing customer part...

Thanks for requesting to add an additional line onto your account.

Sorry, but we are currently unable to do this. However, you can re-apply once you have paid another 3 bills in full and on time. Then we will be able to review this again.

If you do not agree with our decision about your credit status, you can write to us at:

Thanks for your patience,

Edit: the little ba$t##s

Well done. As per title! Glad to see your reading is improving :wink:

Yeah seems they're all saying no. Weighing up whether to buy this or share my data from my phones 20gb for £8 per month.

They wouldn't budge on the extra 10% for me either, said cant be used in conjunction with another offer, i either take the 10% or the 50% still £14.50 for 32gb to me is a good deal, replacing a contract with them that's just ended that was 35pm with only 2gb data... no brainer really!

Yep I use it with an Osprey MiFi....regularly have 8 to 10 laptops sharing the connection and generally works a treat

So.. just to confirm.... this is great to use in a home 4G or mifi type device?

would i need to unlock my 3 mifi device to use it?

After my previous experience with EE when I went on around trip with thier contact centres, I would not except a deal from them even if it was free!

Put this in a mobile wifi device, and just use it like regular wifi around the house, in the car, wherever!

Cheers,

I'm not really a huge video watcher, just some Youtube here and there, no large number of Blu-Rays or rips etc. I've been using Networx over the last week to monitor my data usage (to be sure before dumping off my cable etc) and at my current/usual rate it appears that 500MB-1GB per day is fine for me, and saucy cams seem to take up most of that LOL

I have a feeling that over the next 12 months this offer will become common, but I need it right now because Virgin are gouging me with the broadband price. He who hesitates etc, and as a guy above said, at this price it's not just about the data, you also get the foot in the door at EE for leveraging future promos.

EE doesn't do overage charges, thankfully, they just return a web page saying you're out of data. You can then get one off addons. I think they're usually a little pricey, but not as bad as the silly £1/MB overage you'd get on Voda et al which could empty your bank account.

You can get an Osprey second hand off eBay or Amazon.

If you intend to do this get a 4G router you can stop streaming on, 32GB goes a long way with no streaming.

What happens when the data runs out? Is it capped or do you get extra charges like on a phone?
Also with an osprey device can these be bought without a data plan as I've looked but can only see an option of signing up to a contract? Thanks

You can get 4G routers, which would do that. Or a relatively cheap solution is an EE Osprey which is a little brick that acts as a wifi hotspot.

Word of warning, 32GB isn't as much as you think when you use it at home. On a full desktop screen, if you're streaming HD videos etc, it soon goes, and multiply by any other household users. Might be fine, but you're going to want to check any bandwidth usage history you have on your wired supplier if possible to make sure it's enough.

Would be all over this like a rash. if I wasn't mid contract

Many thanks for the help.

Now (and bear with me because I'm totally new to the tech side of things here) is there such a thing as a router type device (that I can just put the SIM card into rather than a USB WIFI dongle) that has MIFI/WIFI and Ethernet? I've Googled it but honestly I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

If not, would a MIFI box be the thing to go for, or would it be better to get a cheap 4g phone to use as an AP? I'm thinking that way I'd have a second phone it the first one goes tits up for any reason? Are there any sub £40 4G phone deals that would do?

If I can get that lot straight, I'll be able to sack off the cable to the door that I'm currently paying over £31 per month for.

Worth noting if you intend to use this in a phone, you won't get provisioned for things they associate with phones such as WiFi Calling or 4G Calling. I asked. Source: https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/4G-and-mobile-data/Can-you-get-Wi-Fi-Calling-and-4G-Calling-on-data-SIMs/m-p/539392#M113134

Retentions offered £17.99 for 10GB (best I could squeeze out of them, and I squeezed pretty darn hard) which is all I actually need and on reflection, for the sake of 3.50/month (well, plus a 12 month commitment) I'd rather have the peace of mind of unlimited calls and texts, the wifi calling, the extended (800MHz) coverage you get with 4G calling, keeping my signal box active and not having to get it reconnected etc.

This remains a brilliant deal if you only need data though!

Got this deal last time around. I was able to nearly 60Mbps at certain spots around my house.

I think it's a great deal. Used an S6 to tether and replace home broadband which was abysmal.

How do you guys live with only 4gb

It is gone so fast when you watch videos

Is that the cheapest option?

I use data more than anything though still need a small amount of minutes and texts. Died anyone know if a top up can be used?

If its not been mentioned already you can add a voice and text pack via your EE account if you require these for £7.50

None it's data only

​The money is taken from your bank every month until you cancel

How many free minutes are included here?

Many thanks

Yes if it's the cellular version of iPad.

But it IS quite misleading so no need to be sarcastic.

Yes as long as your iPad is cellular and has space for SIM card

I'm not waiting this is only the 4th time this has been on in 1.5 years. I've even got that three half price deal till 14th June unlimited data but going to overlap this. Its a hit and miss affair as to whether this is going to be on again soon. Once you are on this you've got it lol permanent that's the main attraction plus they did that 64gb glitch for existing 32 customers you won't get that again but once your a customer who knows what they'll offer. This is going in my osprey thanks op

It's not the phone. It's EE closing down two masts nearby and the remaining one facing the wrong way, so at best I get SOS.

So... do you have '16GB' or 'unlimited everything' because I dont think you can have both.

I found EE to be fantastic in London, did you phone cover all the appropriate HSPDA/4G bands?

silly question can i get this for an apple ipad air 2? if anyone knows thanks

If this is used in a phone to tether does that use more data than using a mifi device?

Yes, renew via direct debit at £14.50.

They say that there will be a price increase in line with inflation every March, as they are offering this price this March there shouldn't be a rise for a year. If there is it's only about 40p.

​It'll renew automatically at the price you paid each month. Currently on one with Virgin Mobile. However I'm not sure if they'll honour the price forever or not, Virgin has been the price I paid initially though for three months... so the price probably remains the same. Hope I helped.

Had to do it that way, now running 2 contracts for this month @ £29.50. Still, lots of data to use. :smiley:

Anybody how to get this deal?

Amazing value on 64GB deal. I'd ditch my home broadband for 1 or 2 of these.

​Actually. It does come with a mobile number.

It can recieve calls and texts.

You can ring and text with it - but - as no minutes / texts are included, it would be expensive.

​ thanks TheAVJunky

Hi,

This looks far too good for me to pass up.

I have never done the rolling contract before, and have a question about what happens at the end of each month?

Does the rolling monthly contract automatically renew, and you're billed automatically by direct debit etc? Or do you have to manually renew each month? ie: lets say EE scrap this offer next month and increase the price a bit, does my contract auto renew that month at the price I originally signed up for, or is there a minimum time frame within which I have to contact EE manually to renew/continue getting the price I originally signed up for?

Short version: does this offer auto renew via direct debit at not extra charge, or do I have to renew it each month by a certain date/time to ensure I continue to get the £14.50 price?

really hot deal

totally agree with your comments.also ee 50% faster than any other network fact.and the customer services a million times better.im not racist in anyway but when i was on 3 i could never ever understand the telephonist.just ended up putting the phone down most of the time.

NO - it's data only.

I haven't got anywhere with it either unfortunately.

Hi all!

Do EE data SIMs come with an attached phone number. In other words, if I stick this in my phone, will I be able to ring others (albeit at their expensive rates, I appreciate no minutes are included) and also be able to receive calls from others?

All the best.

I've got 16GB unlimited everything for £12 (12 Month) EE.

I think it depends where you live. In Staffordshire EE got best service o2 and Vodafone ok but 3 is really bad

anyone know if you can use this data sim in European countries?

This is good value for EE, and as its only 30 day commitment. I will see if the text message offering 64GB for £16.50 / 12m comes though once mine is activated.

I'm currently paying £15 per month for 5GB of data with Id mobile. I don't currently have WiFi so I'm using the SIM in my MiFi device. This looks brilliant in comparison. I've emailed iD to see if they'll match it.

Did you try for the 10% off again? Just tried online chat, Pauline, wasn't for budging. Will attempt again tomorrow.

Nor Adam.

Please see above , replied to the wrong post. Sorry. Si

I went sim only with ee after my contract was due for renewal 500 mins 500mb unlimited texts 9.99 per month but get an extra 10gb month for having fibre bb (usually 5gb but they like me

What dual sim phone you using?

If you find it sad then thats a shame, I'm smiling at your comment also, Mr ZeroDeals with only 50 likes HAHAHAHA

​it works and im using it right now..

Sorry if anyone has asked something similar. But I was just told on the web chat that this sim is not compatible on phone, is this true? As I thought of using a spare iPhone I have to use hotspot for mi-fi as home internet is extremely slow.

​I am using 2 Three sim, one for data and another for call and sms. No problem at all.

Is there any chance of EE honouring this price over the next 12 months? If it's £14.50 for March, reverting to £29 in April then I'll give it a miss.

Don't know about that, it is a 30day rolling so worth a shot at least id say. Might be my phone, dedicated router may do a better job.

So useless for trading too...

I used 3 for prior to moving to O2 (work) and EE (personal) for last two years, I don't notice any difference and travel quite a lot. The worst without any doubt was Vodafone! Horrible!

Dual Sim users - note that as mentioned previously, most* dual sim phones are data only on one of the SIM cards and the other SIM will revert to 2G only. So this means if you had a Three SIM for voice and EE SIM for data the Three SIM would not function as that SIM would drop to 2G and Three don't offer 2G voice**.

To keep those damned pedants happy:
*Moto G4 / G4+ dual SIM phones and a select few other brands are 3G+3G / 3G+4G dual SIM capable so happy days if you're with Three.
** Three may still offer 2G voice in some very remote areas, they have some old Orange 2G roaming agreement, some person that lives in a small cave in North Wales will comment that he has 2G Three service.

its not even that, just every 5mins it would lag, so the ping is good sub 30, but it wouldn't be stable.

Get an EE payg and try before you buy.

Hmm tempted to pay off the device on my o2 contract and take this out instead.

Only thing putting me off is I know O2 have good coverage around here (use it in the car). EE have a big blob over my house of "outdoors only" which worries me.

Many thanks OP - have been looking for a decent data deal for a while to use in my MiFi at our static caravan. Get an excellent EE data signal there, so this was a no brainer. Cheers :smiley:

I bet you're the one that drives a 100 miles in the middle lane on the motorway...

Hmmm. What's the typical ping of this?

it can replace your home BB for everything except gaming I would say, thats by thether hotspot from phone 4G with like 50mbps speed, maybe a dedicated sim router would do a better job, couldn't say.

That's not a good deal. You should easily be able to get via Retentions 4gb/unltd txts/unltd mins for £9.99. Then add the 'free' 5GB for the broadband. Ask them to price match their sister subsidiary Plusnet.

Looks good for data but no calls is a negative. I just rung them up and done a deal. 4 gig data plus unlimited calls/texts for £15.99 as an upgrade , plus a further 5 gig on top because i have broadband with them

Only for the 12-mth contract. Not the 30-day one.

I have the Virgin deal for my personal phone and BT 15GB with Extra Speed (EE) for work.

Gotta EE mast over the road from my house and get 58Mb dl on BT, yet 25Mb dl on Virgin in the exact same location.

Virgin is capped to 25Mb dl, but to be fair, most users won't need more than that for mobile surfing and a bit of YouTube on the go etc. The best thing about Virgin is the rolling data, was nice to see 37GB available on my second month.

says on the website `included EU roaming data` what ever that means.

Can i use this abroad in india for holiday?

Not the case at all. I have been using two x 20 gig chips from Three for months now. Always working and 40 times faster than the best BT could do. In a rural area, it has shown me just how good work on line can be. For reference I have been programming since 1978.

Wish it was possible to upgrade to this! As it stands I'm paying £22.26 for 10GB on a phone contract that is out of term, have a retention offer of £18 if I commit for another 12 months... thing is, I very rarely use voice or text. I'd bite their hands of at this but because I'd have to go the "cancel and start again" route I'd lose my signal box and probably have an even harder time than before convincing them to reactivate it.

I don't even get 2G EE in North London...

Obviously depends where you are. I travel all over the country with work and found Three's network coverage to be excellent, second only to BT/EE.

Can tether and can hotspot/MiFi.

No

Any deal on a mifi device or a car device that i can use this sim in? Thanks

unlimited data +unlimited minutes +unlimited text for 19 pounds?

Is this the best deal for data sim so far?
or are such prices common?
I'm going to need a data sim soon but not just yet,so I was wondering if I should get this or wait?

i get 10GB of 4GEE max which averages at around 60mb/s
unlimited texts / mins

all for £9.90 sim only 12 month :smiley:

if you push for it you can always get a good deal

They dont give you this offer on the phone. Id phone to cancel and ask them while your there and re-order this one.

Can you use this data in the EU?

Did you ask current provider if they would match as they probably would or even better it slightly..? Competitive ever more so now for phone networks...

Guys i know its a data sim so im assuming that all of the data can be used for tethering ? perhaps on a mifi device? Thanks for any responses.

3 mobile do 30gb unlimited minutes n texts for 30 quid

I had an email to call them (not sure why - existing customer thing didn't seem to work on the website).

Anyway, phoned up, was put through manually at £14.50 with 10% off.

32gb for ~ £13 seems pretty amazing to me. Gonna use it in car.

I've just upgraded from 15gb for £20 pm, so this is a bargin :-)

Received an email from EE, can't upgrade existing SIM, have to cancel and order the new one, not a problem really, but their site shouldn't have let me go through the upgrade process in the first place.

Is this an extra plan?

​Shame most people spend 357 days a year in the u.k :laughing:

would pick ee over 3 and it's terrible customer service and coverage any day. Couldn't pay me to have 3.

​if you did over the phone or online you have 14 days to cancel by law

The SIMs can be from any provider you like. Most dual SIM phones are dual standby, which means that both can make and receive calls and texts. The data connection can only be on one SIM though. It's either done by choosing in the settings, or some phones can have cleverer settings, such as timed switch over periods (eg work vs. home).

It clearly says 'Data SIMO'. I don't see an issue but then again, I'm not an idiot.

I'm £17 from 3 for unlimited data/text and 50 minutes.

Been thinking about the 20gb for £15 with Virgin just not sure if it's throttled as it's on EE.

Topcashback
SIMO 12 Month £12.99
Exclusive Offer £30.00 would take down to £12 per month

Says 32GB 4G data.... granted.

But should clearly state that it's DATA ONLY, no reason not to put this.
Suggest changing title to 32GB 4G Data Only SIMO - HALF PRICE now £14.50pm

I didn't realise until I clicked on the link, so fair to say it's a little misleading.

If i use it with an iPad can i set up internet sharing to use with other devices?

Thanks Just canceled my 25gb £15 and got this one

I have a number that im not using with BT Mobile, can I port this (I have the PAC) and use it with this SIM?

10% discount is only available on 12month or 24month plans.
This is a 30 days plan

Just renewed my 12 months contract with 3. data, call, text all unlimited, 19pounds per month. If you due to renew, give them a call.

Genuine answer - people who've moved house or are in the process of moving - I had a 16GB rolling contract with EE for a couple of months when we knew we were selling, and it meant I didn't have to worry about the landline contract renewing or being locked into a crap deal. Or in a car as mentioned elsewhere.

Flippant answer - people who should spend more time interacting with other humans rather than staring at a phone screen :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers for that. Will try them again later.

Which phone do you use it in? And what network is the other sim with?

Yes absolutely. I have done this for the last year. Works flawlessly.

Ive just cancelled my old 25gb one and just took this out

got the same deal a few months ago but with unlimited minutes and unlimited txts. I think this deal is okay but I am such they will announce a better deal soon

Try again for the 10% off second line. I got rejected over the phone, tried live chat later that day and it was all set up no problems. With all these companies it depends on who you talk to on the day so try again. Cheers Si

Just what I needed! Moving house tomorrow and there's a delay setting up the new connection.

Phoned them as I have an existing account, and they escalated it to some sort of manager. Confirmed that this is an online only offer, but they will honour it over the phone.

They wouldn't add a 10% off, but this is still a cracking deal.

So I got this when it was offered at same price a few months ago.

EE said "Our fastest 4G" except it wasn't. There is 4G+ in my area and it wouldn't do it.
Then EE said it must be my phone (Samsung S7 which will do 4G+) and said 70mbits was fine, despite the fact that another friend also on EE with the same phone, in the same building got more than 120mbits.

People with dual SIM phones, can you use this along side a normal sim card?

who needs 32gb? Wow - 20gb SIM only offers about and that is so much data PCM!?

Guess this sim is useful for cars with data packs built in so you can connect live in the car on the move.

Heat!
This is great value, it's just a shame that I'm stuck in a Plusnet broadband contract for the next 18 months, otherwise I'd take this, especially since data on EE is faster than Plusnet broadband!

Already on 25GB for £15pm 30 day contract, shall I take out this deal and cancel the 25GB or phone and see if they will switch?

Trust me you are going to regret it as data service with 3 is a nightmare. Allways hit and miss

yeh, but can you use the 30gb abroad like you can with three ?

THANKS

Lol, does anyone else find great comments like this cheer you up in the morning. Or have I been staring at this site for too long. :laughing:

Great deal - got it last time around. FR better service than 3 - I'm getting around 50Mbps speeds and whenever I need to speak to someone they are in UK and speak English. I was with 3 - they were a nightmare.
In terms of volume this is just right for us - we use it instead of broadband as the copper speeds where we live (rural) are abysmal. Got rid of the landline and line rental ages ago

Not sure why the sad face, personally I would take the Three contract over EE - I prefer the network. Unless of course, EE signal is better for you? At least with Three you get Feel At Home and the other perks, and I find while their call centre is off-shore, their staff are impeccably polite and efficient.

I got the 64gb data sim last month for £16.50, although 1gb per day is more than enough

Just start a 30GB sim contract with 3 :disappointed:

I asked for 10℅ with this offer since I had we contact SIM I only pay £11.99 ish

you get 100txt

Got this last time it was on offer. It may not be the case this time but with mine I get a 100 text allowance each month. Nothing major but saves having to switch out sim. Not long after activation I got a text offering 64 GB each month for 16.50 but was a 12 month contract. That also was posted on here. Cheers Si

Hence Data Sim in title and no mention of mins / texts.

Very good offer for a Data sim :smiley:
