I've not even had a confirmation email from any of my latest attempts, spread over the last few weeks, and they are all genuine email addresses, either ISP or Domain linked and never used for any EE contact or promotion previously.

Maybe the next few days will bring a delivery.

Are you sure you texted SUMMER100 to 150 to try and activate the 100GB?

jonmorris · 20-08-2015, 20:17

If anyone tries to be clever and stop the add on before topping up, it seems EE has fixed it and won't recognise the summer100 code.

The solution is to add the pack, then try. Incidentally adding 1GB that way only costs £7.50 - leaving you with £2.50. Perhaps you can even add a lesser pack?

Yeah they do a 500mb for £5 which I only noticed after adding the 1GB for £7.50 so for light use it's not too bad.

Also looks like TopCashBack doesn't work on this offer... the previous 2 EE SIM's I got back in June earnt £5.25 each in cashback for the £10 top up per SIM. Seems not to apply with this deal though,

Zee_Bukhari · 21-08-2015, 23:44

EE are stupid whats the point in 200GB of data when it goes to.1GB afterwords. Best to stay with Three. They are increasing 1800Mhz in September and rolling out 800Mhz.

Damn so now we can't keep the £10 as credit?

iampaulxo · 22-08-2015, 10:28

I use this as my main sim from now having come our from a 3 contract, problem is EE customer service told me with the 100GB promotion, I could only get the 50mins/txt package when I actually wanted the £15 package with 500 mins/unlimited text 2GB package and they told me I can't do that which was plain stupid to be fair.

Thing is I needed minutes and 50 mins is just paltry. Anyways I stuck with that then changed the package the next month which was such a relief.

Question is, is that possible to do on the summer sim by activating a different pack (rather than cancelling the pack what you guys have been doing) and still get the 100GB activated?

jonmorris · 22-08-2015, 10:29

Not all of the £10. I got the £7.50 add on (which appears to be the same as the £10 one?!) but there's a £1 add on so maybe that would also work?

EE must have done something as if you do the stop, top up, then send the summer100 code it just says it isn't recognised. I then found it impossible to find the £10 add on, or the shortcode (nothing on the EE website) so went with the £7.50 one as it had 1GB. That worked!

How odd that the £10 add on, which will auto renew, doesn't even appear to be a valid add on? Maybe the calls/texts are different on the £7.50 add on?

From memory isn't the £7.50 add on for 1GB data only whereas the £10 pack is for 1GB data, 50txts/50mins?

The difference being data add on vs pack?

EDIT: I've logged on and you're right, the original pack isn't shown as an option to renew, how odd?!?

jonmorris · 22-08-2015, 17:34

And I think you get minutes with the £7.50 pack (it's only a MBB only SIM that doesn't).

Odd isn't it?

daclick · 23-08-2015, 12:04

Probably been asked but do these sims work in mifi devices?

jonmorris · 23-08-2015, 12:45

They work fine.

shaggy_x · 23-08-2015, 14:36

Got my sim which I ordered earlier this week. The one which I ordered a couple of weeks ago hasn't arrived so I guess its a roll.of the dice really.

Anyone know if the 'offer' will work if you activate the sim in late September or October, long after the offer has ended? I'll probably activate mine in around a week but just thinking of any spare ones.

david16 · 23-08-2015, 16:28

The sooner that people are no longer able to tether 60 to 100GB of data per month for 2 months with these EE sims once the 2 months is over the better for everyone else with EE and MVNO's that use the EE network.

jonmorris · 23-08-2015, 17:52

I'm getting pretty much 100Mbps 24/7 so no capacity issues that I can see.

Got mine in a Huawei b593 router with 2 PC's an iPad, an Amazon Fire Stick and an Apple TV connected to it and no issues at all!!
Only got 10-15 meg 3G (as everyone on here now knows about my mast! : ) but that's way better than the ADSL and last night my Daughter and I watched a Netflix movie in HD.
Bit of a novelty that in my house!

Something to note actually (if you're coming from Three) is that on EE there has never been any major restrictions on what you can put your SIM into.
Simply because you pay for the data you use. As long as you pay, they don't care!

I'm with EE As my main mobile phone. I only get 2gb data on my tarriff and use the summer sim offer to stream around 4 to 5 GB per month and sometimes use it as home broasband. I know some people.takr the Mick and really go to town on these but as far as I am aware this offer is not slowing down the. EE network, in the same way that 3s unlimited tethering did/does for example.

ABCZYX · 23-08-2015, 22:25

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but today, I paid for a new PAYG phone. On my receipt, it says "EE £15 Retail Top Up = £15.00" and then, "£15 Total Pack = £0.00". I had joined the "Everything Pack" at a cost of £15. When I got home and started working my phone, I had a text message saying,

Quote:

"Your £15 Everything Pack has started and £15.00 has come out of your credit. Your allowances will last up to 30 days and will renew automatically using your credit. Make the most of all the great features of your pack, visit ee.co.uk/packhelp.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but does that mean that I originally had £15 credit on my phone, but it has now come off my credit and onto the Everything Pack? Another text message I have had says that I have got £0.00 credit, but yet I have been able to both make and receive a call since receiving that text. How is this possible if I don't have any credit?

What on earth is going on? The only reason I got a new PAYG phone was because I'd had my previous one for two and a half years, and the battery was running out a hell of a lot faster than it used to. I only really use my mobile to phone and text people and to upload photos on my Facebook.

Is it possible to not have any pack at all for my phone? And would this be better if this is all I really use my mobile for?

dave clarke · 26-08-2015, 16:15
