EE knows that not everyone wants the same extras with their phone contract, which is why it has launched a selection of ‘Inclusive Extras’, previously known as ‘Smart Benefits’.
These are extra benefits that you can choose between on select EE plans.
Below we’ll explain exactly what Inclusive Extras are available, how you get them, and how they work.
What are Inclusive Extras?
Inclusive Extras are extra perks available with EE’s ‘All Rounder’ and 'Full Works’ plans (which also include other extras such as EE’s highest data speeds).
Inclusive Extras include things like a free subscription to Netflix or Apple Music. When you first take out a compatible plan, you’ll be able to choose one of these Inclusive Extras.
What Inclusive Extras are available?
At the time of writing, EE offers the following Inclusive Extras on All Rounder for Android SIM Only and handset plans:
Google One Premium 2TB, and Netflix Standard with adverts.
If you choose an All Rounder for iPhone plan, then you’ll instead be able to choose from Apple Music or Apple TV Plus.
If you take out a Full Works plan for Android plan (either on SIM Only or with a smartphone) then you’ll be able to choose from:
Netflix Premium, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Google One AI Premium, or TNT Sports on Discovery+.
And a Full Works for iPhone plan will get you the choice of TNT Sports on Discovery Plus, or Apple One. The latter being a combined subscription to Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, and Apple Arcade, as well as coming with 50GB of iCloud Plus storage.
How do I get Inclusive Extras?
Inclusive Extras are available as part of EE’s All Rounder and Full Works plans, and can be had on both Pay Monthly and SIM Only, as well as with a tablet or laptop.
When you take out one of these plans, you’ll be asked to select your Inclusive Extras during checkout. Alternatively, you can set them up via the My EE app, or by texting ‘PICK’ to 150.
Once you’ve chosen your Inclusive Extras, EE will send you a message from 150 with the steps needed to get them up and running.
FAQs
How many Inclusive Extras can I have?
At the time of writing, you can only have up to one Inclusive Extra on currently available plans. Note however that some previous plans allowed up to three, and that some of these extras can be added at extra cost if you want more than one.
What if I want more extras?
If you want more extras, then many of them are available as paid extras – or you can get them direct from the company that creates them. Google One Premium 2TB is £7.99 per month, Google One AI Premium is £18.99 per month, Netflix Standard with adverts is £4.99 per month, Netflix Premium is £17.99 per month, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is £12.99 per month, Apple Music is £10.99 per month, Apple TV Plus is £8.99 per month, Apple One is £18.95 per month, and TNT Sports on Discovery+ is £20 per month.
Note that TNT Sports on Discovery+ is so expensive because it also includes large screen access and Discovery+ Premium.
In any case, if you’re paying extra for a second one of these subscriptions, it’s worth making sure that the free one you choose as an Inclusive Extra is the highest value of the two. For example, you might choose to get the Google One Premium 2TB Inclusive Extra and then pay separately for the cheaper Netflix Standard with adverts.
How can I see which Inclusive Extras I have active?
Simply head to the 'Plan, Inclusive Extras & Plan Add-ons' section of the My EE app (available from the App Store and Google Play Store). Alternatively you can find out via the My EE account website, or by texting SMART to 150.
Is there anything else I should know about Inclusive Extras?
EE used to offer a slightly different selection of Inclusive Extras, including one that added free roaming to plans. But rather than this being an Inclusive Extra, it now comes as standard for 47 European destinations on All Rounder plans, and for 52 global destinations on Full Works plans.
Can I swap my extras?
Not on current plans. EE used to offer similar plans with ‘Swappable Benefits’ which allowed you to change your benefits every 30 days, but if you take out a plan now, you’ll be locked into what you choose for the duration of the contract.
