So, pardon ignorance.. Is 800 working on *any* phone now, or just those authorised by EE?

Hmmmm interesting. Not working for me in Colchester on an EE branded G5. Either its blocked here as its not currently enabled for VOLTE or the signal is too weak for it to connect.

VoLTE isn't live on 800MHz I don't think.

Is there such thing is unlimited 4G on a mobile package these days? If so, which is the best company to get a deal with unlimited 4G?

I'm chatting with one of their sales guys on the website now. I've told them my budget several times and they've not listened once. They've shown me three deals all out of my budget! I wish I knew how to haggle....

So what are you expecting? 16GB data for £19.99 as well as a £90 Amazon voucher is a pretty good deal at the moment for new customers.
I think he was talking about Three though...? Anyway this is off topic (there's a separate thread for Three) so let's get back on topic.

I took out the previous £20 for 16GB offer (about 3 months ago?) and there was no mention whatsoever of an Amazon voucher - though I wasn't grumbling, since it was much better value than the 3.5GB for £19 Virgin Mobile package that I was on before (which I have heard has gone up to £21 for the 3.5GB). |

How comes people are getting Amazon vouchers as well? Is this for the new deal on the 16GB SIM?

You could get £88 cashback from Quidco as well, or get TCB to match. You could try doing both cashback and the amazon voucher but not worth the risk imho. |

Can anyone give me any examples of planning permission/schematics that show EE 800 as well as H3G 800. Every single one I view, the new masts will only be transmitting 800mhz for 3 and not EE. Why not EE at these places too?

In most areas it currently appears to be working on any phone but as soon as the VoLTE restriction is in place and power goes up (which I suspect isn't too far off now given full UK VoLTE and more and more 800 masts popping up) only certain 'EE approved' devices will be able to connect.
Where I live in North Yorkshire there is a weak 4g signal though the other day was suddenly getting a strong signal on a moto x play with payg ee sim in. Then disappeared next day. No idea if it was 800mhz though. Currently trying EE with a view to switching to them from Vodafone but generally go sim only and buy my own unlocked phone. |

In theory all Marshmallow and above Androids (VoLTE compatible obviously) should be able to work but it depends on the manufacturer and EE to update the devices to add the correct carrier settings. It's just a patience game to see which phones will be added for support. |

All bets are off when it comes to Android updates. Only way to get a almost guaranteed update is to go with Apple I'm afraid. Android is just awful with such things and that includes the Nexus series too.
