Bizarre to not let you tether, I mean 20GB is 20GB. They must charge as well if you go above 20GB so surely in their best interests for you to blitz your data allowance

They do let you tether :confused:

I just posted explaining that it works.

Might switch to the 20GB offer.

That's not what the T&Cs say:

You cannot share your data connection with other devices.

So regardless of you currently being able to do it now, doesn't mean you are guaranteed to be able to later. They could start blocking it like Three.

Thanks for confirming it works, I will probably go for it as I don't tether that much anyway if I'm honest.

This looks interesting although I'm not a heavy data user and not a BT Broadband customer.

I'm currently on EE @ £17/month for 1Gb of data. Am I right in thinking I could take the BT equivalent (£17/month for 2Gb of data) and I would also get free access to the BT Wifi network (useful) and BT Sport for the same price I'm paying now?

That's a great deal im seriously considering it. Does anyone know which type of simcard the nexus 6 takes?

Google is your friend...:

"The Nexus 6 uses a nano SIM card."

don't forget to go through Topcashback for some a nice £42.00 cash back saving on your 12mth deal.

I'm actually quite impressed with the offers!

Even without BT Broadband you're talking £25 for 20GB Data, Unlimited Minutes/Texts and BT Sport thrown into the mix also.

With the Champions League moving to BT next year it's yet another thing to consider for people. Will be interesting to see Sky's attempt to get into this also.

I couldn't give a toss what the T&Cs reads. The question was whether tethering works; it does. Any CSP can remove it at any time, so it's a stupid comment to make.

I've just ordered myself a sim for the £12 a month 2gb deal (To my parents on BT internet

).

Can get £40 on topcashback too

It works right now but it is in no way guaranteed to do so in the future, so no it isn't a stupid comment to make really. If tethering is a requirement for someone then they may want to keep that in mind.

Well the deed has been done, PAC code has been obtained from EE, and I have placed my BT mobile order on the BT website and my Topcashback has tracked as well for £40.40. Just waiting confirmation from BT that my order has been accepted.

I had my first ever PPI call. Seems odd after 2 days of moving to BT Mobile. Didn't answer it as the calls would never end if i did.

How long did it take to have your BT order confirmed by email, I have received the initial order email, I now waiting for my confirmation email.

I have also got EE retentions ringing me as well. I said 5gb of data, and Iphone 6 for under £30 a month would make me consider staying, retentions guy has gone off to speak to manager to see what he can do. He said he would ring me back in 30mins. We will see what he comes back with.

Super Tigers · 24 Apr 2015 at 12:57

EE retentions called me back, £31.99 per mth, free Iphone 6, unlimited calls, unlimited texts, 4GB data , Extra tariff so free use of calls and texts allowance from abroad - £31.99 per mth.

Tempting.....

I got the confirmation email right away. Do you think 4GB of data is enough for you? You get more for less with BT Mobile. Only downside to BT Mobile is that speed is capped at 30Mbps, but that's still faster than you'll probably ever need.

I have been on a 5GB 12mth SIM only deal for the past 15mths, it expired in January 2015, they checked my usage and the highest monthly data use was 3.1GB so 4GB should be fine.

I rang BT mobile back and my application had got stuck at the credit checking point and they were going to call me back, I had the time at my address incorrect. So I have cancelled the BT order and called EE back to take the Iphone 6 offer.

I just wanted access to EE's network. Far better than Three's for indoor coverage and LTE.

thebennyboy · 24 Apr 2015 at 21:47

Seems EE have enabled my sleepy little village in rural North Wales for LTE in the last couple of days. Excitement.

Is there a way of telling what frequency it's on? Can't seem to find any app which tells you.
