Those who have multiple plans on their account can also gift up to 100GB of dataper monthto another EE plan (or 120GB if you have a 5G Smart handset plan), which is good for those with children who run out of data. Unlimited Plans are for personal, non-commercial use only. We will consider usage above 1000GB/month to be non-personal use and have the right to apply traffic management controls to deprioritise your mobile traffic during busy periods or to move you to a business plan. Vodafone has unlimited data but to get a good price, you'll have to have imposed speed restrictions or commit to a two-year contract. EE too has unlimited data but charges some big prices to get it.

Yes, you can tether with EE’s unlimited data plans, meaning you can use your mobile connection to get other devices such as laptops and tablets online, and with no limit to the amount of data you can use (other than the standard 600GB fair usage limit). Note however that you shouldn’t regularly tether 12 or more devices at the same time. This though shouldn’t be an issue for most people. Can you use EE unlimited data abroad? There’s no fair usage limit in the UK, other than that it should be for your personal use and on your own mobile, and there isn’t really when roaming either – except that you should be using your phone more in the UK than abroad. The inclusion of shareable data on this plan can actually make it very worthwhile to get another SIM card from EE (even if it’s one with a fairly small data allowance). For instance, you can share 100GB from your unlimited data plan onto a 250MB plan. This would increase the data allowance on it to 100.25GB per month.Apple Music: Data used will be deducted from your plan allowance. Apple Music is for your personal, non-commercial use only. Requires a handset using either the latest iOS version or Android 5 or later. Apple ID required. You must not attempt to share, edit or adapt the content made available to you. Content is variable and may be withdrawn at any time. UK use only. Apple Music terms apply. For more details go to ee.co.uk/apple-music.

There is a small premium to pay for choosing EE, but the network offers highaverage speeds and has more widespread coverage than mostrivals. There are some slight fair usage terms though, which you can see in the ‘unlimited data fair use policies’ chart elsewhere in this article.

Vodafone has the second-widest 5G coverage, but its speeds lag behind those of the other major networks, which is disappointing given the comparatively high price of its non-speed-limited plans. That said, most users will find an unlimited Vodafone plan that suits them – from news fanatics to content crunchers. iD Mobile, which uses the Three network and is owned by Currys plc, offers an unlimited data plan on a 1or 12-month SIM Only contract, or as part of a 24-month handset plan.There are also 24-month SIM Only plans, but at the time of writing these don’t offer unlimited data. Most of the leading mobile networks will offer some kind of scheme for using your SIM on your travels. Some opt for a daily data cap, while others let you use your entire allowance as usual. We’ve mentioned below if there’s a particularly holiday-friendly extra. What extras should I look out for?
