EE Launch “Roam like home”

EE Launch “Roam like home”

Leigh Geary August 17, 2016

Hmmm… A roaming service that lets you use your phone abroad for no additional fee? Just as if you were in the UK? We’ve totally never heard of that before, and it’s in no way similar to anything any other network is doing…

Today EE, who got the jump on other networks by rolling out their Superfast 4G first, unveiled a new three-tier pricing structure for new and upgrading EE customers. There’s obvious similarities with Three and Vodafone (with their Sky Sports offering) on the first tier, which is…

·         4GEE MAX – These plans combine the largest data bundles, the UK’s fastest 4G speeds, and inclusive access to the BT Sport App for the duration of the plan. If you’re on this plan then you can use your full, text and data allowance to ‘roam like home’ when abroad in the EU.

Yes… Just the EU guys. Remember the EU? That thing we’re actually still part of, but the place where our money is now worth a lot less? I’m saying nothing. Either way, at present, there’s 28 member states in the EU. Three have quite a few additional countries on their “Feel at Home” service – which we tested just a few days ago actually.

Also while I’m here, it’s worth pointing out that (if we’d stayed in the EU) there’d be no roaming fees at all from June 15th next year. So EVERY NETWORK would operate like “Feel at Home” in Europe. Now you’re effectively having to pay more for the “MAX” plans to get this functionality. Doah.

In addition there’s also..

·         4GEE plans. These will offer unlimited UK minutes and texts, “generous” data allowances and 4G speeds that are as fast as fibre broadband (up to 60Mbps) when users are out and about. If you’re going abroad then you get unlimited minutes, texts and 500MB of data a month. Again though, this is only in the EU.

This again isn’t quite as good as the Three offering, which offers 42 countries including America. They also include your entire allowance for no additional cost on every plan.

If you just want speed, check out their new Essentials plans ..

·         4GEE Essential plans, offer access to 4G speeds of up to 20Mbps on the UK’s best network, with a handset from as little as £16.99

NEW EE PAY MONTHLY HANDSET PLANS

 Please visit www.ee.co.uk for a complete list of handsets available with each of the following plans. Select handsets available with no up-front cost.

When combined with the latest smartphones, EE customers benefit from a 4G network which covers more than two thirds of the geography of the UK (more than any other network). EE’s superfast network has the most 4G capacity and the fastest network speeds, boosted by 4G+ in the UK’s busiest towns and cities. EE also offers WiFi Calling and 4G Calling on select devices, allowing customers with enabled handsets to call and text in more places across the UK. What’s more, customers receive usage alerts when they’re near the end of their data allowances, and thanks to EE’s data caps, will never run up an unexpected bill.

Noel Hamill, Managing Director of Marketing, EE: “Customers want to pair the best smartphone with the best network, so we’ve introduced a new range of plans to offer increased choice and flexibility. This includes our new 4GEE Max plans with inclusive roaming and BT Sport benefits – providing our greatest range of package benefits to date.
