What is a SIM Only Plan?

Happy with your device? A SIM only plan might be for you.

What is a SIM only plan?

With a SIM only plan, you supply the phone or tablet and we supply the network. 

So, you get all the benefits of being an EE customer but can save money by not having to buy a new device. 

Is a SIM only plan right for me?

You might be interested in a SIM only plan if:

  • you’ve got a phone you already love and want a great deal on minutes, texts and data
  • it’s time to upgrade but you don’t want a new phone
  • you want a little more flexibility – you can sign up to a SIM only plan for 30 days or 12 months

Can I upgrade from a SIM only plan to a phone plan?

Yes. If you decide you want a new phone and you are a new customer, you can upgrade once you’ve been on a SIM only plan for six months.

If you’ve been on your plan for six months or more, you can upgrade from a SIM Only plan onto a phone plan at any time and we'll give you £20 off the price of the phone.

If you decide you want a new phone and you are on a 12-month SIM only plan, you can upgrade once you’ve been on your plan for six months. If you are on a 30-day SIM Only plan, you can upgrade at any time.

What if I go over my SIM only allowance?

We’ll send a text if you’ve used all of your SIM only allowance.

You can buy an add-on of extra minutes, messages, data or services to use until your monthly allowance renews.
