With the EE Video Data Pass you can stream content, in the UK and in EU member countries, on selected video apps without using your plan’s data allowance.
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.
Some or all of the data used while streaming content on devices using iOS 15 with iCloud Private Relay switched on will not be zero-rated, as we can't link your EE customer ID to all your activity.

Please note: subscriptions to content providers is not included in the pass.
No, the EE Video Data Pass simply lets you watch content on your device from one of our content partners included in the pass without using your plan's data allowance.
It doesn’t offer any subscription to those content partners so you’ll need to set up a subscription for those services directly.
The EE Video Data Pass is a 30-day rolling add-on so once added it will stay on your account, with the cost added to your monthly mobile bill, until you remove it.
This means you have the flexibility to add the EE Video Data pass to your account for one month, remove it the following month and then re-add the month after.
If you've selected the pass as a Smart Benefit in your 5G Smart or Smart plan, there are no additional charges or contracts to sign.
No, if you’ve run out of data on your plan then the EE Video Data Pass will not work. You’ll need to purchase a data add-on to continue using the pass.
No, you can’t gift data from the EE Video Data Pass to other plans. Data Gifting and the EE Video Data Pass are separate services and do not work in the same way.
Data gifting will continue to work as normal with your plan’s data allowance.
You can use the EE Video Data Pass in the UK and anywhere your plan allows for inclusive roaming which means you can use the pass in all EU member countries.
If you have a Max or 4GEE Max plan, purchased June 2017 or later, then your inclusive roaming will also include the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand and you’ll be able to use the pass in those countries as well as all EU member countries.
