Why choose an EE phone contract?

EE – based on coverage claims – likely has more 4G coverage than any other UK network, at more than 99% population coverage and more than 86% of the UK landmass covered.

It also has a lot of 4G spectrum, making for a speedy, reliable network, and it was the first UK network to launch a 5G service, so it’s likely to be one of the leaders there for a long time too. It also offers plans with unlimited data, so you can make the most of its widespread coverage, and it stocks a wide variety of phones, and provides additional perks on many of its plans.

EE then is the network to choose if you simply want the best user experience possible.

Added extras

Select EE plans come with ‘Inclusive Extras’. In the case of All Rounder plans, you can choose from one of the following Inclusive Extras:

Netflix Standard with adverts or Google One 2TB Premium (if you pick an Android phone plan), or Apple Music or Apple TV Plus (if you get an iPhone).

If on the other hand you have a Full Works for Android plan, you can choose from these: Netflix Premium, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Google One AI Premium, or TNT Sports on Discovery+.

While with a Full Works for iPhone plan you can choose from TNT Sports on Discovery Plus or Apple One.

Other benefits of EE include Wi-Fi Calling, 4G Calling, and plans that offer faster 4G speeds than typical rivals, so you don’t even need to opt for 5G for speedy data – though a 5G plan and device will be far faster still.

Data roaming

EE’s Essentials Plus and All Rounder plans come with inclusive EU roaming, letting you roam at no extra cost in 47 European destinations. Its Full Works plans also let you roam in those places, along with Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and the US, for 52 destinations in total.

If you don’t have one of these plans then you can either pay £2.47 per day to roam in those 47 European locations, or add a ‘Roam Abroad’ pass to your plan at a cost of £25 per month to then be able to roam in all 52 possible places.

Whatever approach you take, there will be a 50GB roaming limit.

Tethering

Tethering (also known as a mobile hotspot) is included on EE and you can use your entire allowance towards it – so the only limit is your monthly data allowance. This lets you use your phone to get other devices online when there’s no Wi-Fi available. Note however that EE's fair usage terms state that you shouldn't use over 600GB of data in a month (even on an unlimited plan), or regularly tether to 12 or more devices.

How can I keep my number when switching?

To transfer your number to EE, first place your order with EE, and then the main thing you need is your PAC code. You can get this either by texting the word ‘PAC’ to 65075, or by asking your old network for it.

Then, activate your EE SIM card (if it doesn’t arrive activated) and fill out a number transfer form. If you submit the form before 17:30 on a working day, the transfer should happen the next working day.

 Note that you should leave your old number and account active during this process – it will automatically be closed down once your number is ported.
