EE's best SIM only deals

From all the options EE have got available this May on SIM only, we think this discounted £10 £9 1‑month deal is their best. For your £9 a month, you get 8GB data alongside 500 minutes and 500 texts:

That means a total saving of £12 if you added up that £1 monthly discount over a whole year.

This is good for EE but it's not an unbeatable price. You can get similar SIM only plans for less with some other providers, even ones that also use the EE network. Here are other networks you can beat it on:

Their £13.50 SIM with 25GB is our next favourite this May

If you want more data, we think this discounted 25GB is one of the best SIM only plans on EE too. It's on a 1‑month deal, comes with unlimited minutes and texts - all for £15 £13.50 a month:

In total, that discount of £1.50 a month means you’re looking at a saving of £18 if you stayed on the deal for a year.

It's a good deal by EE's standards but price-wise you can still beat this plan on other providers (even ones that still use the EE network). See the networks with cheaper plans here:

What we generally think about EERead our full review

at simsherpa.com
(opens in new window)

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.

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.
