The EE Video Data Pass will cover the data you use when you're streaming content e.g the show you've chosen to watch from one of the selected video apps covered.
However, it doesn't cover data that's required for things like accessing or browsing the content providers app or for any adverts within an app. The good news is the EE Video Data Pass includes an additional 200MB of data and this additional data allowance will be used in the same way as your plan's data allowance.
£8.99 per month. This cost will be added to your monthly mobile bill and will appear as a separate line in the add-ons section of your bill. If you add this service in the middle of your monthly billing period then the cost in the first month will be prorated.
