EE Unlimited Data deals

What unlimited data plans does EE offer?

EE offers a variety of unlimited data SIM Only plans, on a choice of 24-month, 12-month, or 1-month plans. Typically, you’ll pay less per month on longer contracts, but of course you’re also committed for longer. All of these plans also come with unlimited minutes and texts.

Beyond durations, there are a number of other variations in EE’s unlimited data SIM Only plans. The most basic and affordable are dubbed ‘No Frills Unlimited plans’. These limit you to 25Mbps speeds, which means you can’t really take advantage of 5G speeds here, as those are the sorts of speeds you’d typically get with 4G.

Next up there’s an ‘Essentials Unlimited plan’, and these plans cap your speeds at 100Mbps, which is fast but not as fast as 5G can potentially get. These plans also add data gifting, so you can move data between your accounts. An ‘Essentials Unlimited Max plan’ is similar, but with no speed restrictions.

Then there are ‘All Rounder’ plans, which also include data gifting and don’t limit your speeds, so you can take advantage of the full potential of 5G. These additionally grant you one ‘Inclusive Extra’, from a choice of Netflix, Apple Music, BT Sport, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft 365, and a Roam Abroad Pass, which lets you roam in numerous destinations at no extra cost.

Finally, there are ‘Full Works’ plans, which are EE’s ultimate unlimited data plans. These include everything from All-Rounder plans, except you get three Inclusive Extras rather than just one.

We’re talking specifically about SIM Only plans here, but you can also get unlimited data with a phone on EE.

Why should I choose EE unlimited data?

EE is a great choice for unlimited data because it offers such a wide selection of unlimited data SIM Only plans. These include various different contract lengths, maximum speeds, and bundled extras, so it’s easy to find an option that’s the perfect fit.

EE also offers impressive speeds and coverage with both 4G and 5G, so you’ll be able to make the most of all that data, and with data gifting on most plans you can share your hefty allowance with other devices and family members.

Is EE unlimited data really unlimited?

EE’s unlimited data plans are subject to a fair usage policy which states that you should use under 600GB per month. You also shouldn’t regularly tether 12 or more devices simultaneously, and there’s a 50GB monthly limit when roaming.

None of these limitations should be a problem for most people though, and in the UK at least EE’s unlimited data plans are virtually unlimited.

Can you tether with EE unlimited data?

Yes, you can tether with EE’s unlimited data plans, meaning you can use your mobile connection to get other devices such as laptops and tablets online, and with no limit to the amount of data you can use (other than the standard 600GB fair usage limit). Note however that you shouldn’t regularly tether 12 or more devices at the same time. This though shouldn’t be an issue for most people.

Can you use EE unlimited data abroad?

EE has a fair usage limit of 50GB when roaming abroad, which is notably more than a lot of networks allow but not unlimited.

Additionally, you can't roam for more than 3 consecutive months. Roaming will also cost £2.29 per day unless you have the Roam Abroad Pass.

Can you get unlimited data on EE Pay As You Go?

No, unlimited data isn’t available on EE Pay As You Go at the time of writing. However, you can get a pack with up to 125GB of data, which is still a large amount.

Are there any alternatives?

Lots of other networks offers unlimited data plans, including Three, O2, Vodafone, Asda Mobile, Giffgaff, iD Mobile, Lebara, Lyca Mobile, Smarty, Tesco Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and VOXI.
