EE PAYG £10 Data Sim Includes £10 pre-paid credit, 20GB Data, 500 Minutes and Unlimited Texts (EE £10-20GB)

A great way to buy sim cards. Had no issues with EE

Great for travelling when in the UK. Easy to use and quick delivery. Highly recommend!

I was able to get this pre-paid SIM card to work without having to make any additional payments or needing to register. I had problems with texts not arriving until a few hours after they'd been sent, but that seems to have something to do with network upgrades in my area. Similarly, the caller ID didn't show on my phone. However, further away from home, the SIM seemed OK. My pre-paid time has now expired and I'm experimenting with different networks, so I haven't renewed it.

Good product

We could not get this sim card to work. We took it to an EE store and they explained there was no credit on the card as described. I have tried to return this product and just keep getting directed to complicated instructions. Unless you are very tech savy I would not recommend this product.

The £15 / 75GB version worked fine for me. It had £15 credit on it and as soon as you make a call or text it adds 25GB of data. You get a text to confirm this. Then a minute or too later, you get another text saying they added your 50GB bonus data. It also says this will continue to happen for 5 or 6 more £15 top ups (if you bother to top up at all). The data lasts 30 days max. At first I tried the SIM in an EE wifi hotspot device. But obviously in one of those, there is no way to actually make a call or send a text to activate the SIM and get your data. So I stuck it in my phone to do that part and then moved it back to the hotspot device after activation - which works fine. I can see how this process could be a bit confusing, because it's not really explained very well. But once you know what to do I think it's decent value for what it is.

There are cheaper SIM cards for routers. But when you look at the reviews and you can’t find a single good one in amongst a long stream of very angry and negative ones, then I figured it makes sense to spend a little more and get something known to work. . All good so far. 100GB for £30 sort of sounds reasonable-ish (by which I mean that there are definitely worse deals out there). But then i spent a Saturday and Sunday setting up my home network and realised i had already burned through over 11GB by Sunday afternoon. Then as an experiment a couple of days latter, i switched everything off, and even unplugged most devices overnight. Turning things back on the next day somehow over 2GB has been used. If that's some kind of standing charge for this just existing then it's not really PAYG is it? . But I suspect the problem was really the router I put this in. I’ve tried a few options now, and long story short, if standard home internet is not an option for you then stick with smartphones. PAYG internet surfing on a computer just doesn’t make financial sense if there’s any other options. And as for streaming films or gaming online with these things? Forget it, because then I recon you’re looking at an internet bill well into three figures every month. . Later... Those SIMs with bad reviews i mentioned at the start? Turns out they are the best option by far! £20 a month on Smarty now gets me unlimited everything, not tied to any contract, and the best coverage of any router SIM that i have yet found. I have no idea what the negative reviews are about. Probably just lots of people having a bad day or something. .

It was quick and easy to activate. I wanted to test the coverage of EE with this card before committing to one of the black friday contracts.
