Tethering restrictions are no longer allowed.
It would be interesting to see if they enforce their rule.
I went through and after all the crap about bundles you can build your own bundle and just pick mobile

HUKD won’t allow it as a deal so it bypasses most people in ‘discussion’ ??
I don't understand why. It's a legit deal with UW piggy backing EE 4g. I rang their customer service to make sure everything is good as it sounds. The £25 charge is a 12 month deposit IF you want to bypass a credit check. No other hidden costs. It's good to know and others have signed up. Please keep this thread discussion going.

I was thinking the same thing there has to be some kind of catch to this I personally haven't found any in there T&Cs I am tempted to take the gamble on this as I prefer EE and report what happens as I haven't seen any details for this anywhere else online and came across this completely by chance

You cant sign up for just Mobile or am I missing something here? Keeps suggesting a bundle with landline etc.. Can't be ar*ed to fight with the quote system, forget it.

I have found the relevant information from twitter of all places

BT has extended its MVNO agreement with utilities service provider UW for five more years.
The partnership enables UW’s 300,000-strong mobile base to access EE’s 4G and 5G network, as well as benefit from its VoLTE and VoWiFi functionalities.
Telecoms Plus-owned UW, which relies on customer word-of-mouth in favour of advertising, has partnered with BT for more than 20 years. It is currently a Which? Recommended Provider for broadband and mobile.
“This extension will enable us to further improve our Which? award-winning mobile service, by giving our customers access, from next spring, to 5G, VoLTE and VoWiFi,” said UW CEO Andrew Lindsay.
So unfortunately VoLTE and VoWifi ain't available till Spring but otherwise a good deal overall - Author

Did anyone get this sim and can tell us if it’s any good or not?
Sim card arrived today my first impression of it is quite good had to sign into my utility website for the sim card to be activated instructions on package then waited 4 hours and rebooted the phone
The Unlimited Data is working as expected so far I have went through 50GB of data with no issues faster then my faulty 67mb Sky Broadband speed seems to be fine similar to other EE providers that I have tested only let down is indeed the fact no VOLTE or VOWifi till Spring but yet again £20 for EE data compared to 3 it's night and day and definitely worth it on a 30 day contract will update with further thoughts once I have burned through some more data and put my Mifi Box to the test as will be using it for travel internet when allowed - AuthorUpdate still going strong given it proper decent amount of testing and still no problems with a phone or MIFI box didn't realise how much I missed EE this makes Sky (O2) and 3 speed and signal look terrible (edited)
- AuthorUpdate just received a message from someone on Reddit who has used it for 2 months flat in a router saying they got a phone call this morning saying they have noticed they are using it in a router and it is not allowed I'm sure Utility are in Breach of 2018 Regulations saying we can use our SIM in any device we wish

You don’t want to remove 4G+ that removes possible speed boots, VoLTE band 20/800MHz is good indoors & landmass coverage, outside in built up areas switch VoLTE off as higher MHz numbers means higher speeds.
Not all phones have 4G+ (Carrier Aggregation of available 4G frequency bands)
4G - LongTermEvolution
4G+ LTE-A(dvanced)
The LTE-A hardware (mobile/modem) can support numerous concurrent broadcasting frequency bands, if the area allows such on a networks base station transmitters frequencies & the hardware has matching firmware which allow the telcos bands to be accessed.
Apple lead in this field, it has less variants whereas Android experience on signal & speed can differ based on more variants/manufacturers.
If you regularly jump networks based on sim only 30 days price or If you are a tightass who wants a expensive mobile to last 3/4 years you want a iPhone for best mobile experience, Android just doesn’t deliver consistency between networks with so many manufacturers and hardware variants. Apple will work on best case scenario most places worldwide by defaulting using a wide range of band access in its ‘radio’ firmware whereas Android & further it’s manufacturers using the lock things down, then add in the telco, it’s a very restrictive model when it comes to best mobile experience Android.
Android OS based hardware is about collecting data to sell not end user (fluid) experience.

Raise a Ofcom complaint, data use cannot be told ‘not to tether’ due to Net Neutrality, or a non existent UW Data FUP enforced.
EE staff deal with UW customer care, it’s a white label UW sticker MVNO what they at EE care are trying to enforce is EE data FUP not their MVNO UW policy, further what they are trying to enforce with ‘no tethering’ is against Ofcom Net Neutrality & further is a breach against Ofcom General Conditions of all telecom providers.
Tree & Voda tried such and ended up in investigation by Ofcom, slapped wrist and do not repeat these behaviours.

Unfortunately consumers have to hold Ofcom to account to hold telecom providers to account to Ofcom’s own terms, rulings and regulations.

Thanks, @CockOfTheNorth ! I've made a complaint - we'll see what happens.
Good lass!
Citizens have to hold their public funded bodies to account indirectly & directly. That’s equality, enforced by citizen, you have to root out the root at public funded level to root it out of commercial level because public funded bodies and regulators like Ofcom are reactive not proactive
look forward to updates
Well, indeed!

Submissive much? You were in the right & overrpaid to be bullied off the UWnetwork!
Raise the Ofcom complaint not only for yourself, but for every mobile account holder consumer. Ofcom as a (reactive) public funded regulatory body doesn’t make rules & regulations for flouting. (edited)- Author

Respectable I'm stuck with Sky Mobile (O2) on 12GB for £6 till March and signal in my local area is patchy at best along with 3 on Unlimited for £5 which is free till around June 2021 but again isn't great in most places so will probably take a shot at this and will update this thread once I have done so 
If you know someone with virgin you can get unlimited data for £23/£20 on a 12/24month contract.

Someone could:
1) Place the sim in another mobile to act as a home router.
2) Use their main phone to act as a router when home
Surely how much data is used, is open for debate? Regarding their comment about the sim must not be used to replace a broadband service. Some people use loads of data on their mobile and home broadband. Others more in one than than the other....etc.
Perhaps there is a 1TB usage clause or something similar in the T&Cs.Even though it is advertised as Unlimited data. I haven't looked.
Maybe the future is an all in one package. Where the home broadband and mobiles are one contract with the same unlimited everything usage shared across all devices connected to a household. The sim in the home router is tied to the same account and contract of the mobile(s) sims in a household. Instead of broadband data usage being separate and/or sim card data usage being separate at present.
Is it a 30 day contract? Doesn’t say clearly anywher ...

…https://www.hotukdeals.com/discussions/unlimited-everything-sim-only-30-day-utility-wearhouse-ee-3545184Posted but moved to discussions
I originally posted this as a deal but it got moved to discussion due to it not being a popular mobile network and cant seem to find any reviews seems like a okay deal to me like
Unlimited minutes, texts and data for £20 per month for the first sim and then up to three additional sims at £10 each hence if you took out all four it would average £12.50 per month.
It looks like it is on EE and is through Utility Warehouse. Not sure if you need to have any other services with them or not.
Would welcome anyone's thoughts or experience of this.
