I thought the terms stated you couldn't go over the 100MB; was the extra 30MB taken from the £5 you had to add?

It will be the free 100 gig not the 100mb sim

Well, two of my contracts will fill the gap at the end of May until at least this time next year. I therefore haven't gone for the free 12 month sim only contract with a small profit. It goes against my priniciples not to make a profit - that alone pay anything - so will give this one a miss too. Still, my main priority today was grabbing 3 99p unlocked phones I can sell for around £20 net profit each. Out of stock now I'm afraid - they only had 100.

This thread is so confusing!

Maybe I should have raised this offer as a separate thread, instead of adding to this one. I'll contact Browntoa later to discuss possibly splitting it.

Perhaps you could give Browntoa a list of post numbers you think belong on the new thread to make it easier for him /her?

The sim arrived today, I managed to cancel their £10 pack they preloaded by topping up £5 and then adding the £1 pack instead.

I now have 100.1GB allowance to play with.

Now I'm totally confused!
1.Why would it come with £10 on it
2.Why didn't that qualify you for the offer
3.Won't data be taken from the
remaining £4 first as per their t & c?
(I haven't topped up a phone for several years, and that was by using a code printed on paper.)

You are really confused. I'll answer your questions:

1. It doesn't come with £10, it comes with a £10 pack preloaded that they expect you to pay for by topping up £10. It then gives minutes and texts.
2. What offer did you think I should qualify for? The promo is £100 GB data for 2 months, there is no other offer.
3. Data is never taken from credit on EE, you have to have a data pack to use data (not a problem here, as EE are giving the 100GB pack free)

OK I see that you can use minutes and texts directly from your credit, or/and you can buy a package with cheaper prices but also with a time limit.
But in the very first link in this thread, it tells you to 'Top up
£10 before midnight on the
day after you activate your
SIM, it will be used
automatically to buy 30 days
of 250 minutes and
unlimited texts. '
Scroll down and click 'Full terms and conditions >' and it states
'If you do
not top up £10 or more
when you first put your SIM
in your phone you can buy a
Talk and Text Pack after this
period by topping up £10
then texting TTP10 to 150.'

I don't see anything that suggests this extra £10 topup is voluntary, such as an 'If you' in front of the first quote.

It's voluntary, just difficult to avoid though. What EE have done is queue the £10 pack on the sim, so anyone who tops up £10 or more will find the first £10 disappears for the preloaded pack you might not want.

You can get around it by registering online and only topping up £5 and then buying a £1 pack (10min/10text/100MB) it automatically cancels the £10 pack that EE preloaded.

I got my sim yesterday but haven't used it yet. Do I have to top it up? I only want to try the data speed out really, no plans to use 100 GB. I've got unlimited data with Three at the moment.
