EE Family Benefits
When you add an additional line to your EE account, you’ll unlock all of their family account benefits.
EE Multi-Line Discount
On EE, you’ll get a multi-line discount when you add additional lines to your account.
Depending on the type of plan you take, EE’s Multi-Line Discount gives you a saving of up to 30% on the cost of each additional line:
- You’ll get a 30% discount on all of EE’s SIM-only deals. For instance, EE’s 150GB SIM is normally available for £26 per month. However, if you’re adding another line to your account, this will only cost you £18.20 per month.
- You’ll get a 10% discount on Pay Monthly plans that are taken together with a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. This includes Pay Monthly contracts with an iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel device.
The following table shows some of EE’s latest Essential plan SIM cards, with the 30% Multi-Line Discount applied:
| Tariff | Minutes | Texts | Data | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Unlimited | Unlimited | 25GB | £16.10 24 months |
| Essential | Unlimited | Unlimited | 150GB | £18.20 3 months half price 24 months |
| Essential | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | £21.00 6 months half price 24 months |
You can also get an EE No Frills SIM card from as little as £9.80 per month with the Multi-Line Discount applied.
As an EE mobile customer, it’s also possible to get a 10% discount on EE’s home broadband service.
Data Gifting
When you add multiple lines to your EE account, you’ll unlock their Data Gifting feature. This allows you to move unused data between the different lines on your account. For instance, if you’ve got some unused data leftover on your SIM card, you can move some of that data onto your kids’ SIM cards.
The Data Gifting feature is available on EE’s Essential, All Rounder and Full Works plans. On plans with unlimited data, you’ll be able to gift up to 100GB data per month (120GB data if you’re a 5G handset plan).
If you’re on one of EE’s No Frills plans, it won’t be possible to gift or receive spare data from that plan.
Parental Controls & Online Safety
All of EE’s mobile SIM cards come with inclusive parental controls and online safety features.
For each individual line on your account, you’ll be able to choose the relevant age setting for EE’s content filter (e.g. under 13, under 18, or adult). The system will then block content accordingly for that age. For instance, you could block all social media apps and websites from a mobile phone that’s used by your kids. You can also configure individual settings such as who is able to make international or premium-rate calls, who is able to buy additional data, who is able to use their mobile phone abroad, etc.
If you’d like to teach your kids about online safety, EE also hosts the PhoneSmart License website. This is an online resource that’s free to use, designed to teach your children how to stay safe and be kind online. It has been built by EE, together with child experts and charities, and contains five chapters covering a range of topics such as online safety, cyberbullying, fake news and more.
All of EE’s customers also benefit from Scam Shield feature. This is designed to block scam phone calls and text messages before they reach you. According to EE, more than 4 million scam messages are blocked every week by their Scam Shield feature.
Stay Connected Data
If anyone in your family runs out of data when using an Essentials or All Rounder plan, they’ll benefit from EE’s Stay Connected Data.
This feature allows them to stay connected to the internet at speeds of up to 0.5Mbps. It means you’ll always be able to stay connected with each other using WhatsApp, email or other messaging apps, even when you run out of data. It’s also fast enough for browsing the web and using maps or GPS navigation for directions on your phone.
Stay Connected Data isn’t fast enough for things like streaming HD-quality video. If you’d like to restore full-speed data at any time, you can use the Data Gifting feature to move spare data from another line on your account. Alternatively, you can buy a data add-on for that line.
My EE App
You can use the My EE app to manage all of your family’s mobile connections in one place. This includes seeing how much data each person has used and how much data they’ve got remaining on their account. You can also configure data gifting and parental control settings.
You’ll get a combined bill for all of your family’s plans on EE, making it easy to see how much you’ve spent and to keep track of the payments.

Keeping Your Phone Number
If you’re switching to EE from another UK mobile network, it’s a straightforward process keeping your current phone number.
Start by ordering your new SIM Only deal from EE’s website. If you’re an existing EE customer, you’ll need to log in to your account to benefit from the multi-line discount.
Once you’ve placed your order with EE, you can request a PAC Code from your old network – either using their app or website, or by texting PAC to 65075.
After activating your new plan, you’ll be able to head over to this online form. Here, you’ll be able to submit the PAC Code that has been issued by your old network. Your phone number transfer will then be scheduled by EE, normally for the next working day.
For a step-by-step guide on how to move your phone number to EE, please select your current mobile network from the drop down menu below:
