EE PAYG £10 Data Sim Includes £10 pre-paid credit, 8GB Data, 500 Minutes and Unlimited Texts (EE £10-20GB)

Having moved house, I had to reassess our "mobile" internet access using our TP-LINK Archer MR600 V2 4G+ router and Poynting external antenna.So, I purchased a variety of service provider SIMs for testing. In our previous house, I used a Vodafone unlimited data SIM with good results (downloads of ~35mbps). Alas, at this new address, downloads were a pitiful 5mbps. Having gone through SIMs from Vodafone, EE, O2 and 3, the clear winner was O2 with consistent download speeds of 85+mpbs (4G+, 2 band connection).EE was a clear second (~50mbps) and 3 was terrible (unusable). As Tesco Mobile offered the best unlimited data plans (and they use the O2 network), that's what I chose for an 18 month contract. At £27pm, it's also £3pm cheaper than I was paying Vodafone.I was rather surprised that EE was not the best option but that will depend on location. Obviously, an LTE+ router is much more sensitive to location as it's fixed - whereas a mobile is constantly on the move.That said, this EE SIM arrived next day and would have provided more than adequate service for us. Contact rates are a tad higher than Tesco. My daughter lives on the south coast and has a similar router to us. There, EE provides a far better service than any other provider.So, for "mobile" 4G+ internet, do your testing and check out the contract deals. In many cases, these offer better service and pricing than BT "copper" internet.....

Great

I used this SIM in a Huawei E3372 USB dongle. To fit it to the dongle, I removed it from the packaging, broke it out of the plastic frame, and slid it into the SIM slot of the dongle. (E3372 dongle uses the mini SIM size). If you need a smaller size, you must use a match stick or similar to poke the smaller SIM out from the larger one - it is pre-cut to allow all three possible sizes.The SIM appears to come with a small morsel of data allowance (about 60MB) which is enough to check that you are on line and able to see the internet. It is also preloaded with £15.00 of credit, and is set to use what looks like EE's PACK15.After I had been browsing for a while, the pack started and the £15.00 credit was consumed. I then used an EE top-up voucher by text message to add another £15.00 credit.The SIM card came in an outer package which said £15 25GB, but the inner package said £15 15GB. I needn't have worried - EE have recently upgraded PACK15 to 25GB, and the data status weboage showed that I was allocated 25GB of data with a duration of 30 days. In 30 days' time I imagine that a new pack will start automatically and another £15.00 will be taken from the credit.So, all good so far. :-)

This didn’t work. I was told by James at the EE shop in Taunton that it was faulty, as it wouldn’t send texts. I then had to get another SIM on a monthly contract. So I’ve lost the £10 spent on the PAYG card and the £10 top-up required to activate it.

I bought a UK ee PAYG sim. Popped it into a spare phone and it connected immediately. Swapped it over to my iPhone where I’m using my eSIM for my contract account so I’m now using this re sim as a network backup

I thought this SIM card preloaded with £10 pay as you go would last till it was topped up. But apparently my local EE branch said it requires £10 a month & that is something my wife doesn’t want because she doesn’t use mobile phones very often 🤷🏼‍♂️ disappointed that it’s non returnable SO I’ve lost £10 & not used anything of the £10 that was preloaded on the SIM 🙁

As title says, I've had no issues with sending messages or using mobile data (haven't called anyone yet but I'd assume no issues with this either) came with the £10 top up included on the sim.

Just what I was looking for thank you
