What are Flex plans?

EE Flex plans give you complete freedom: no contract, no remembering to top up, no losing your unused data, and allowances you can change whenever it suits you.

With a Flex plan, like pay monthly, you set up one monthly payment so you never have to worry about topping up. But, like pay as you go, there’s no contract: you can change, pause or stop your plan whenever you like.

Plus, your unused data rolls over to the following month, and you can change your allowances whenever it suits you.

Are there any charges for card payments?

Are there any charges for card payments?

No, but when you pay with a debit or credit card, you need to make sure that you have sufficient funds available. If you don’t have sufficient funds available and your bank or credit card provider charges you, then you’ll have to pay the charges.

Please be aware that if you pay using a card for the first time, we may contact your bank or credit card provider to verify your card. On occasions there will be a hold of £1 for this verification which will lapse within 10 working days.

Is this a contract or a Direct Debit?

All Flex plans recur every 30 days - which is essentially every month. However, this means that there is no fixed monthly date that your card payment is due.

But we'll always let you know the day before your next payment is due.

How does Data Rollover work?

How does Data Rollover work?

Data Rollover means you won't lose any unused data from your Flex plan. If you haven’t used all of your monthly data allowance, it will be added to the next one, so you get another chance to use it. If your next plan doesn’t start straight away, your leftover data will still be added so long as you start your next plan within seven days.

How do Free Data Boosts work?

How do Free Data Boosts work?

Every three months your Flex plan will get a Free Data Boost to use in the UK and while roaming in the EU. The longer you stay, the more you get: every three months we’ll boost your monthly data allowance by an extra 500MB – and you get that extra data from then on for free. So your allowance keeps growing and growing. All you have to do is claim your Free Data Boost every three months by logging in to EE.

And the best thing? You can do it again and again and again. So the more plans you buy over time, the bigger your monthly allowances become.
