WiFi that boosts your coverage where you need it
With smartphone usage on the increase following the Covid-19 pandemic, the requirement for access to coverage has never been greater to keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues. EE network data shows devices usage on-the-go from May-July continues to rise, with download traffic in July passing well above pre-pandemic levels.
As part of its vision to offer customers the best connectivity experience, in a converged-first by a major mobile network, EE is launching WiFi Coverage Boost available to all new and existing pay monthly and pay as you go mobile customers. WiFi Coverage Boost extends mobile coverage where it’s most needed, with free and seamless access to over 150,000 securely encrypted BT WiFi hotspots across the UK. From high streets to rural communities, and even in hard-to-reach places like platforms on the London Underground, EE customers can seamlessly connect to the hotspots as they come into range.
Keeping families connected
EE is also introducing a new Multi-Line Discount on additional SIMs taken out, designed with families in mind. With Multi-Line Discount, customers can enjoy EE’s lowest prices on additional lines—perfect for the other mobiles, laptops and tablets—for either them or their family. Customers can now receive a 20% discount on additional SIM only and data SIM plans as well as a 10% discount on additional smartphone and tablet plans.
EE also offers a great range of tools to help families manage their plans which includes;
- EE’s unique Stay Connected Data which switches on once a customer has used their monthly data allowance and is fast enough for customers to send and receive data messages
- Data Gifting, allowing customers to move their unused data over to other people in their family that might need it
- With the My EE app, customers can control how their children use their phones, for total peace of mind – with the ability to apply caps and controls so there’s no unexpected bills. They can also restrict usage abroad or block premium rate calls/texts as well as prevent in app purchases
Device Care Extras
EE is also extending its Device Care Extras offered to smartphone customers to those with Connected Devices, including laptops, tablets and watches as part of EE’s commitment to offering top tier service, beyond mobile.
From today, those taking a connected tablet from EE will benefit from the option of an Annual Device Check-Up, and those taking a connected tablet, laptop and smartwatch will receive a £10 discount on EE’s Minute One protective bundle, as well as a new Extended Warranty covering against any manufacturer faults for the lifetime the customer is on their EE plan – perfect for the 52% of UK consumers who say an Extended Warranty is a key consideration when purchasing a new device.
As a further commitment to keeping customers connected, EE’s store repair service expansion also continues, offering Manufacturer Approved repairs within 23 stores, or next day in over 300 stores nationwide (which covers 76% of the UK population).
Sharon Meadows, Director of Propositions, EE says: “As part our journey to become the most personal customer-focussed technology brand in the UK, we continually look for ways to make our great value plans and the network experience we offer as compelling as possible. Already the UK’s most reliable network, we’re extending coverage for all customers with WiFi Coverage Boost, delivering amazing content including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and iCloud+ with Apple One Individual Plan in the Full Works package, and providing market-leading support by extending our Device Care Extras to connected laptops, tablets and watches.
