With Apple Music, you can stream more than 60 million songs on-demand from the Apple Music catalogue. You’ll also be able to access curated playlists along with lyrics and live radio through the Apple Music app. This is available for both iPhone and Android devices, as well as on other compatible devices such as your PC and smart TV.

This includes more than 300 box-sets which are all available for streaming on-demand, without any ads or interruptions. You can access BritBox on your smartphone and on other compatible devices including your laptop, tablet, smart TV, Apple TV and Chromecast.

EE Family Account With 10% Off

If you add an extra line to your EE account, you’ll be upgraded to an EE family account. This comes with a 1GB data boost for every eligible device or SIM card you add to your EE account. You’ll also get a 10% discount on the monthly cost of your additional plans.

You can manage your EE family account using the My EE app or website.

Data Gifting

If you have multiple lines on your EE account, you can move spare data around your devices. This means, for instance, you can gift your spare data to your partner or your children. Similarly, you can also move spare data between their devices.

When you log in to the My EE app, you’ll be able to see at a glance how much data each family member has remaining. You can then gift spare data between different devices with the tap of only a few buttons.

If you have an EE unlimited data plan, you can gift up to 120GB of data per month. The giftable data allowance is 120GB on 5G smart handset plans and 100GB on all other EE unlimited plans. Data usage will reduce your giftable allowance.

EE PhoneSmart

If you’re getting your child their first phone, EE has created the PhoneSmart License, working together with child experts and charities across the UK.

The PhoneSmart License is an interactive online course that’s designed to help your kids learn how to stay safe and be kind online. It’s designed for kids aged 10-13 who have just received their first smartphone. It contains five different episodes covering topics such as online safety, cyberbullying, fake news and more.

You can enrol your kids in the EE PhoneSmart License for free, regardless of whether they’re on EE or a different network.

Keeping Your Phone Number

If you’re switching from another mobile network to EE, it’s a straightforward process to keep your current phone number.

Start by ordering your new phone or SIM card from EE’s website. Once you’ve done that, you can request a PAC Code from your old network. You can get a PAC through your mobile network’s website or app, or by texting PAC to 65075.

When your new phone or SIM card arrives from EE, you can head over to this online form to submit it. After you’ve done this, the transfer of your phone number will be scheduled (normally for the next working day).

For a step-by-step guide on how to transfer your phone number to EE, please select your current mobile network from the drop-down menu below:
