EE / Orange Price Increase September 1st 2016

Just received a text informing me of the above.

The supplied link was incomprehensible on my older style non smart-phone.

Can't find mention on the internet...

Anyone have a link to the price rises ?

And services affected..

I'm on the old Orange 5 free texts a day plan.

And EE PAYG on smart-phone

I still have an old Orange contract but cannot sign a new one retaining one of my sims on Orange. I will have to have EE sims on all phones under a new contract. If I do nothing the existing Orange sim stays.

After days of phone calls and live chats between EE and BT I have now worked out a great deal for both my mobile and broadband. I now have Line Rental with weekend calls Infinty 1 high speed broadband for £10, Entertainment plus including View Plus box record/pause/rewind etc just £6.50, BT sport, BT app for mobile and 2GB data, 500 mins, unlimited texts for £43.49 a month compared to what my existing contract would have risen to of £56.24 plus my EE plan of £10 per month for 500mb and 300 minutes, unlimited text or £17 a month for 2GB and 500 minutes.

Any EE customer should consider BT now as they use the EE network and give you a £5 discount off your plans or simm only plans and a £50 discount of a new phone although I am buying a phone separately, plenty of phone offers on ebay especially ones that are just discontinued and being sold cheaply.

EE is insanely expensive. Why would any sane person use their PAYG service?

They are basically increasing the pence per minute/text charge on most Orange PAYG plans in order to price them off the network and onto EE.

I completely disagree. They have the best value PAYG bundles out of all the big four. Take the EE MTV Trax SIM for example. 7GB of data, 500 minutes and unlimited texts for a £15 monthly top up.

Yes, you've got GiffGaff, but then you have to endure the god awful data speeds and O2's pitiful excuse for a 3G network.

Where is the link for that? That doesn't sound a bad deal....

Agreed. EE's PAYG tariffs are much better value, and you get access to 4G. No brainer really...

30p / min and 12p / text. Internet is only available via an add-on. They start at £1 / 100 MB / 7 days.

EE is the only operator offering PAYG access to the EE 4G network. Their MVNOs are restricted to 3G.

My web site lists all current PAYG tariffs. The EE PAYG link is stale on that, it should probably be the following ambiguous link.
