It’s a nightmare isn’t it. Will have a look at Lyca. I know EE isn’t fantastic in my actual home postcode location, but I’m thinking overall it’s going to be worth switching as the data coverage/capacity in general is meant to be much better. My mate is with EE and he has much better service in general.
Thank you will take a look, that’s another option! 
Fair data deal if you’re not too data heavy out and about.
They DO have Stay Connected too, running at 0.5mbps so basic web will still work if you run out.

Thank you!
Some good deals on there! The one you picked out looks like it will be sufficient for me, so that’s great. 
Gonna get onto O2 and see if I can persuade them to let me get out of the contract early without having to pay the device plan off all in one go.

I think 1p mobile is a better option if you don’t need esim or visual voicemail.
£10 for 25gb, no contract, no inflation increases, full EE speed and coverage.

Here’s some cheap EE sim only deals too, no data speed caps on them either! I did think it was abit sus judging from the website but it takes you to the official EE basket page to purchase and I have successfully purchased one

Yeah it’s real man I just got the £13.50 100gb plan
The plan is 50gb for £15 but on the website it gave me double data for £13.50 a month

The lifetime of the contract is how long the discount is for unless specified otherwise

Its weird as the image implies an essential plan which is speed capped at 100mb/s I thought?
Does it have data gifting?
Also are you a BT customer?
Did you get them to issue an esim or do you have to wait?
It’s very tempting but I hate 24 month contracts generally. Also voda have a deal for 100gb for £8 a month after cashback.
Is the Vodafone deal a basics plan? No 5G or roaming possibility I think?
I assumed my data speeds would be capped as it is advertised as essentials but it doesn’t say it is in the EE app and my average speeds are 150+ so i think it’s not capped
Yes I can data gift
No I am not a bt customer 
I agree I hate 24 month plans but it’s hard to come by EE deals this cheap so I just did it

It doesnt imply it is as other contracts had that mentioned and this isnt unlimited.
Fancy asking EE support for the good of us all? 
You are still in cooling off anyway, I am tempted to order and cancel in cooling off if it is speed capped.
Did you have to wait for the sim or could you get esim earlier?
I’ll try again tomorrow
every time I try and connect to someone the robot closes the conversation. My official plan details says I get the max speeds no cap so I assume that’s what I get despite it being “essentials”
Even if there is a speed cap I could argue my case and get it removed but I’m 95% sure there isn’t

Did you just order using that link?

Yeah just click the one you want and it’ll take you to the EE website, there are some 12 month plans further down. I genuinely thought it was a scam or a third party company but I completed the order via the phone with EE so it’s definitely genuine.

using your phone or on a call to EE?
On the phone to customer services at EE (a phone call)
Not sure about this plan specifically, but EE’s Essentials plans still have 5G and roaming. The only real difference to a normal plan is 100Mbps speed cap, no free Netflix etc, and no anytime upgrade if you get the plan alongside a device (SIM only essentials plans can still upgrade after a few months I think).

Just to say shopping around really works. I got 20GB a month sim free for 12 months for £10.50 a month which I think really works (on EE).
Even EE direct couldn’t match it which was strange.

Couldn’t agree more. Shopping around is the way to go. EE deals always seem to be vastly different through external websites to what the advertise themselves and whenever I’ve spoken to customer services they’ve always seem shocked mine is so cheap.
I low key really dislike EE customer service and the whole EE platform such as their app BUT their coverage and their reliability will always keep me a loyal customer
