Back working again now for me as well, must have been a outage, wonder how long that was & how often that happens.
Presumably long term users on here don't have any issues or it would be more obvious on the forums.

Never seen an outage here or heard of one either. Might have been a routing issue from your ISP or DNS issue.

A quick search showed a similar question from April when it seems the website was briefly down then, hopefully just brief non critical issues.

Anyone recommend a provider for the wife who is currently  on Plusnet £8 a month plan. Got a few requirements.

1) needs to be on EE network.
2) needs included fair use EU roaming.
3) around the same price, unlimited texts and calls, 5gb data.
4) ability to set usage spending caps.

Not finding much.

Rwg could be worth a look;

Also available 1 year pay upfront deals at about 30% off.

Lycra Mobile also uses the EE network... 

found this, but nothing on the main EE site, as they seem to have re-introduced EU roaming charges...
since i can't post links..  Have a look at the "All in One 10" 30 Day rolling contract... 
 or if you are happy to commit to 12 Months have a look at their 20GB £8/month deal  as it included unlimited EU calls/texts. (and it is much better value than their £5/month data allowances...)

"Lycra Mobile also uses the EE network... "

Yes, but have a read about them on here or their reviews elsewhere.

I would give them a very wide berth, Lyca, that is.

"Lycra" - when riding a bicycle?

That's a bit of a stretch....

Just managed to get all 3 of my SIM only deals for myself and family renewed for 12/24 months via retentions:

All Rounder Unlimited - £14/month (24 months)
5G Essential Plan 40GB - £7/month (12 months)
5G Essential Plan 40GB - £6/month (12 months - Multi-line discount)
Total: £27/month for all three lines.
(All come with free EU roaming).

I gave my 30 days notice. They called me back within the hour. Initially they offered me:

Line 1: Reduced from £23/month (Was previously on All Rounder 125GB) to 5G Uncapped 125GB without monthly addon benefit (which I wasn't using anyway) at £14/month.
Line 2: 30GB at £9/month (Improved from £9.16/month for 2GB)
Line 3: 30GB at £9/month with multi line discount (Improved from £7.32/month for 2GB)
Total: £30/Month

When the confirmation came through it was completely screwed up. The agent messed up the data allocation, uncapping, EU roaming and monthly cost. Pretty much everything!

So I called to complain and they ended up offering me the following as a goodwill gesture:

Line 1: All Rounder Plan Unlimited Data @ £14/month.
Line 2: 40GB £6/month
Line 3: 40GB @ £7/month
The All Rounder Plan is uncapped and I get the monthly add on benefit back.
Total: £27/Month.

About a month later, the MyEE app was still showing 30GB instead of 40GB. I sent a couple of emails to rectify, but no luck. Raised a complaint on Twitter/X and managed to get it all sorted, alongside £20 off my next bill!

It was an effort getting there for sure, but I'm happy with the outcome and the saving! Previously I was paying £39.48/month. Now I'll be paying £27/month. Saving of £12.48/month (until the CPI increase).
