INDEPENDENT WRITE-UP

EE

What we know about EE — written independently, not by EE itself.

Worth knowing: this page isn't run by EE or its parent company. For anything account-specific, you'd need to go through EE's own channels.

By Design

EE has topped the independent league tables for eleven years straight, landing the highest score any UK network has posted going into 2026. BT Group owns it.

Plans on offer

A wider spread than most, top to bottom.

  • No Frills sits at the bottom, with a speed limit attached
  • Essentials Plus and above unlock EU roaming as standard
  • Full Works removes the cap entirely and throws in Apple One free on iPhone

Signal and speed

Independent labs, not EE's own marketing.

  • 920/1,000 in 2026 — nobody else has matched that figure
  • 5G+ now reaches over 50 million people across 600-plus towns
  • Aiming for 99% population coverage by the end of the decade

Going abroad

Depends heavily on which tier you're on.

  • Essentials alone leaves EU roaming out, charged daily instead
  • Essentials Plus folds it in for free
  • Full Works adds extra non-EU destinations through a Roam Abroad pass

Moving on or in

Same Ofcom rules as everywhere else.

  • PAC to 65075 keeps your number when you leave
  • STAC to 75075 closes the account without porting
  • Annual price changes land on 31 March, quoted in pounds and pence
A quick note on who we are: neylscout (neylscout.online) is run by independent researchers, not by any mobile network. We write about Three, O2, EE, Tesco Mobile, Vodafone, Sky Mobile, and iD Mobile because people ask us about them — none of these companies sponsor us, pay us, or have any say in what we publish. We are not a reseller and we never sell airtime, SIMs, or contracts through this site, and you won't find a single price on these pages, because prices move too often for us to keep accurate. If you ring the number on this site or fill in our form, you'll reach our own small team — never a network's official support desk, and never anyone able to touch your account. Every brand name and logo colour you see here belongs to the company it names; we use them only so you can tell which network a page is about, not to suggest any partnership. Treat everything here as a starting point for your own research, and check the final word with the network directly before you commit to anything.
