EE Data Sim offer - 30GB per month for £15 (Was £30) Save 50% @ EE [30 day rolling contract]

But 3 is a crap network generally compared to EE

Wow. Without calls minutes this really doesn't make sense. Also their customer service is astonishingly crap in EE - I signed up for one of those contracts in April, after activating my SIM card - made a call and most of the calls dropped due to poor network quality.

Called CS, after holding me for 1 hour on the line telling me useless things to try with my phone(I'm an engineer myself, they don't know what they are talking about), when clearly network is the issue(I tested that by having same issue when sim was in my other phone) - they told me that I'm free to leave them as still without the first 14 days and they are not going to try to do anything unless I keep following their ridiculous out of subject debugging tips.

They were refusing to get the call to the right person (read: trained they will be in trouble for any call passed to higher level managers), which helped with Three usually.

Though on EE - nothing. I then called back after a few days to cancel the contract - it took me another couple of hours(3 to be precise) ending up in a formal complaint I had to write by email after being thrown around / told "you're calling the incorrect department, we can't cancel the contract, nor can we transfer you to the correct one." "Took out the contract with a cash back offer - our partner has to cancel it for you, we can't help".

Called the partner - "we can't cancel any contracts, as the contract is taken out with EE Network, not us" - kind of expected, as the contract is legally binding with the network, and the cash back partner is not in that contract at all.

Took me 6 calls of being thrown between those companies, and as I said, only a formal 2-page long email helped.

Sorry for the rant! Good luck to anyone trying EE!

Been with EE for years. No point worrying about customer service as all the networks are bad if you get the wrong agent. A lot of them even use the same call centres!

You can't use a Three SIM in a mifi if it is a phone contract, and tethering is restricted to less than 30GB even when you use your phone as a hotspot, so comparing with them is irrelevant. How much is their 30GB mifi SIM?

Cold though as I get 40 million petabytes per month for 46p, and of course this site is all about how this price compares to my flukey one-off deal.

Not for me

Lots of people moaning that they get the same for cheaper. The thing is you don't if you're on another network. EE has better coverage and faster speeds than most other networks. This is an awesome deal. Beware though as I got this deal last time and it doesn't include any minutes (it gets pricey when you make calls). (edited)

I pay £5 a month for the same data cold from me.

​Cool story bro

40mbps/25mbps last night on EE. Also my S8 shows Wi-Fi calling, so no issues if you get a signal black spot and have wi-fi.
EE customer service - I think they're all pretty rubbish.
Good deal but I voted cold due to use of word 'holibobs'. Irrational but there you go...

If your partner, friend, lover already has an EE line then it can be had cheaper...

Are you aware that your experience is the exception to the rule? You probably are given that you're a super-intelligent engineer.

I use my 3 phone sim in my mifi and use the tethering. Have done for months.

Son is on EE, Daughter on 3.

They are both crap in places. But sometimes have covered where Vodafone and o2 don't!

So your opinion, not backed up by facts. As I can compare pretty easily. In fact in most places, 3 beats EE. I have EE as work phone, lots of places end up tethering to daughters 3 sim, to get any signal!

Wow. Without calls minutes this really doesn't make sense.

Uhmm, except if you just want data? You know like a dongle or an iPad or whatever?
You seem to have totally missed the point of the sim.....

Anyone claiming they have 30Gb for £5 is full of it. There isn't a plan like that - they may have wangled a load of discounts by speaking to a weak advisor on the phone, but there isn't a plan of that amount,
EE is way better than 3, Look who the emergency services use for calls, - here's a clue - it aint 3

This deal is great if you need data - short term

I will say ive been on 32gb 14.50 for 5 months now and just went on EE chat to say im struggling to stay in the data and they just upgraded me to 64gb on 14.50 rolling no questions asked. If you have a period of loyalty I would try this out.

Agreed. It's not a like for like deal. This is way hotter.

Roasting 🔥🔥

Wow. Amazing deal

I grabbed this deal last time around, it wasn't clear from the way they set out the invoice page on the website whether I would get it for half price or not, but I did. I've paired it with a Huawei B315 data station and ditched my cable broadband, there's only me in the house so no problem with capacity, plus when I go on holiday I can take thw SIM with me and put it in my MiFi unit.

Is it £15/month indefinately or does it revert to £30 after a period of time?

THANKS OP I can now watch all the porn my withered hands can cope with

myintranet1 h, 23 m ago

Wow. Without calls minutes this really doesn't make sense.

It's a data SIM. If you want a phone SIM get one with minutes. If you want a SIM for a data-only device like an iPad, it makes perfect sense. Having said that, I had a 12GB valid-for-a-year SIM in my iPad, and only used half of it, so 30GB a month would be total overkill for me. I'm sure it makes sense for others, though.

You can use your EE allowance in any device you choose as far as I'm aware.

Gave up on Live Chat and rang customer services, easily sorted and halved my monthly data bill!
Tempted to put that saving towards a second sim as I'm living off 4G at the moment.

Thanks OP, deal of the day!

Are you going to offer any extra info to back up that remark? It's a bit worthless if you don't tell us your experience with respect to these 'hidden charges' - surely in order to make this comment you must have had some, so it would be useful to forum members if you could embellish on this - certainly I'd be interested to know about it as I'm an EE customer so I'd like to know what to be wary of.

It'll stay at £15.... The only increase will be RPI inflation next March.

Does anyone know if this is a 4GEE Max plan? i.e. it includes USA+Canada?

Use your data in the EU plus 5 extra destination

The extra 5 destinations are

USA
Canada
Mexico
Austraila
NEW Zealand

So the answer to your question is yes. The data can be used in these places (Upto 15Gb) (edited)

Any recommendations for a 4g wifi router for permanent home use?

I find the Huawei B-315 best for serious Wi-fi (no landline) use 4G double speed.EE 100GB

Don't bother with antenna.
Folks who are talking about minutes and text are missing the point here.
Hope this helps (edited)

Cracking deal took it out today as my 3 one had come to an end, got it for 13.50 as a current customer

For those wanting to get it for £13.50 for being an existing customer (think you have to be pay monthly)

- Log into MyEE account in a browser
- Scroll to the bottom and select "Fancy something a little extra?, SEE ALL PLANS"
- Select "Data Sims"
- Select "30 Days"
- Select the 30GB plan which should be showing as £27.00 instead of £30
- Then add the code at checkout

I placed my order online then was told to ring just to confirm and everything was fine £13.50 a month

guys, I just signed up to this offer yesterday. I have a shared plan with family so 5 lines in total, despite the crazy discount, they will not offer 10% even though at checkout it states it. Just going through a complaints process. Its not about the money, its the principal.

deleted177303612/08/2017 12:30

Do you get a phone number with this sim?

No phone number sorry, just two empty Coke cans attached by string

Agreed, this is a ruddy good deal!

I pay £5 a month for the same data cold from me.

I was waiting for a good deal with EE. I don't need 30GB, but I'm going for this.

I'm on the 'pokemon' tariff from last year (10gb for £9.50 a month plus a free tablet, 24 month) I wonder if ee will let me upgrade to this. Gotta be worth a try.
