EE's best SIM only deals
Our favourite current EE SIM only deal
We'd say the best SIM only plan EE are selling this September is their 12‑month unlimited data deal below, which comes in at £29 a month and includes unlimited minutes and texts too:
While this is a good enough deal to make it into the best of EE's SIMs, you can beat it for price (even if you definitely want a provider that uses the EE network). Here's which other networks can beat it:
£24 for 125GB is EE's next best SIM deal in September
For a smaller amount of data, you might like the £24 SIM only deal running on EE at the moment. It's a 12‑month plan, which comes with 125GB data, unlimited minutes and texts too:
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 125GB data (5G) = £24 a month (12‑month contract)

It's a good enough deal to get into EE's best SIMs but you can actually get a lower price for a similar plan elsewhere, even if you definitely want it to use the EE network. See where you can get it for less here:
There's also a nice 25GB for £23 plan with them this month
If you don't want so much data, we'd say this is one of EE's best deals on SIM only this month too. It's a 24‑month plan, comes with 25GB data, unlimited minutes and texts for £23 a month:
In comparison to the rest of EE's current SIM only plans, it's one of the best. But it is beatable on price, even if you're set on joining a provider that uses the EE network. Here are the networks offering it cheaper:

How EE compare for SIM only prices and benefits
In our review of EE, we said they have the best 4G and 5G coverage out of all UK networks, as well as having the fastest 4G speeds by far. It’s the main reason we think people would want to join EE.
You have the choice between 1-month, 12-month or 24-month contracts on EE. Generally, the longer the contract the lower the monthly cost, but you should compare here in case there are any special deals on.
EE’s plans tend to be some of the most expensive of all networks. But there are some smaller providers who offer cheaper deals on EE’s network (our favourite being 1pMobile) or you can check for hidden deals.
They offer different numbers of Inclusive Extras on premium plans. Their All Rounder plans give you one extra and their Full Works plans give you three. Their No Frills plans include none and some are speed capped.

Helpful things to know about EE’s SIM only deals
EE will deliver your SIM card within 2 working days. In the package you’ll receive each size of SIM to pop into any phone. And EE let you join on an eSIM right away or switch to one later (read how it works here).
You have 14 days after the arrival of your SIM card to return it and get a full refund if you’re not satisfied. Here’s how you do it.
EE need to make sure their customers don’t rack up huge bills they can’t pay, so you’ll have to pass a credit check to join them. If you fail the check you can still join them on a monthly PAYG bundle instead.
If you’re switching to EE from another provider you can keep your number by getting a PAC from your provider and sending it to EE at any time. See their full instructions here.
