If you're using a PAYG SIM you need to be with them for at least 3 months before you're eligible.

bottleofbest · 03-04-2015, 19:27

This is a brilliant offer. Well done EE.

No you can't, you have to have been a customer for 3 months.

No, you can't. It's explained in post 1 and the link.

How many will we see on eBay?

From the original link:

Quote:

EE Power will be available to all active customers on mobile and broadband plans on a 30 day, 12, 18 or 24 month plan

So no, you can't get a free SIM, as it's not open to PAYG customers, only contract.

Mitu_Pappi · 04-04-2015, 09:02

It costs a tenner. On bulk buy it probably cost them a fiver. Hardly earth shaking stuff unless it can be used for urm...that purpose

PAYG customers can get one (as can non-EE people who pay)

Amazing how many people have apparently misunderstood this thread and the link.

I wonder if those on legacy branded T-Mobile and Orange contracts qualify ?

It's specifically for **EE** customers...

PAYG customers are eligible after being with EE for 3 months.

Looks like a re-branded Anker power bank.

Contains one single 18650 battery, but likely of decent quality and certainly 2600mah.

A 3500mah battery inside would be nicer but the non fakes(most are fakes on ebay) cost double.

carnivalist · 05-04-2015, 22:32

It's worth getting if you're already with EE, on the basis that you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. However it's not something that would influence me to join. Genuine Ankers are cheap on Amazon - one double the capacity only costs 15. I have this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/10000mAh-Por.../dp/B0063AAIRG

Even with with a notoriously power-hungry S3 using maps and GPS constantly I usually don't have to recharge the Anker every day, so the fact that the EE one can be instantly swapped would be of no benefit unless I forgot to recharge. The larger Anker has the benefit of two charging ports - and no, it really isn't that heavy or unwieldy. I barely notice it.

I've figured out I can get 5 or 6, that should get me through the day

DevonBloke · 05-04-2015, 22:38

Hahahaha... brilliant!

DevonBloke · 05-04-2015, 22:44

Just had a thought.
What about sharing users like my two Daughters.
Can they get one each too I wonder?
Technically that are on 1 month rolling contracts I think.
Or are they 12 months, I can't remember.

OK, spill. Or were you simply making (a very funny) joke?

victor mel · 05-04-2015, 22:54

What about if you have a sim only and seperate broadband with EE. Would you receive one or two?

So how do you tell a genuine 18650 battery or where to get one if ebay are all fakes?

2 EE contract sims
1 Orange OVP Virgin sim
1 T-Mobile sim
1 Dan and Phil sim (still will some credit on it)
2 EE PAYG sims (the ones that came with £5 credit and 100MB a month data)

So, actually 7 unique sims to get a code with
