Why choose EE?
Part of the BT group since 2016, EE is the UK’s largest and fastest mobile network, offering more 4G geographic coverage of the UK than any other operator.
EE was also the first network to support 5G. Its super-fast connectivity is available in more than 112 towns and cities across the UK - more than any other operator in the country.
With the fastest speeds, widest coverage and a great range of handset deals, EE is a worthwhile consideration for those on the hunt for a new mobile deal. What’s more, it’s the first UK network provider to offer Wi-Fi calls.

What tariffs and plans does EE offer?
You can compare the following EE deals through Compare the Market:
Contract phone deals
EE offers a good choice of competitively priced monthly contract phone deals. Prices are based on your choice of handset and data allowance.
The typical EE phone contract is 24 months, offering unlimited call minutes and texts.
EE offers a good choice of handsets, ranging from the basic, easy-to-use Doro 6520 up to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro. Samsung and Huawei fans will also be able to find a competitive deal on their preferred model.
SIM only deals
With EE’s SIM only deals, you can choose between a 12 or 24-month contract. Whether you opt for a contract phone or SIM-only deal, it’s worth noting that EE now offers Wi-Fi calling to all customers on a monthly plan, with a compatible phone. This handy feature allows you to call, text or voice-over IP (VOIP) in Wi-Fi areas where the mobile signal is weak. You don’t even need to download an app - once it’s activated, it’s automatic.
With Wi-Fi on London Underground, new EE customers can also access Virgin Media Wi-Fi in more than 100 London Underground stations for free.
Another great feature for monthly plan customers is EE’s family account. This lets you share any spare data you don’t need with family members’ devices. Add two or more plans to your account and you can start gifting data. This can be handy if the kids use more data than you.

What our expert says...
“EE isn’t the cheapest network provider, but it does offer some great extras like BT Sport and Apple Music. Also, EE is one of the few providers that offers broadband, TV and mobile bundles.
“This can often work out cheaper than buying separate services from different providers.”
- Matthew Brewer, Broadband and mobile expert
