MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 4G PHONE ON ORANGE OR T-MOBILE
If you recently bought an iPhone 5 on a contract on Orange or T-Mobile you’ll have the option to move to EE once it launches.
GOT AN iPhone 5 THAT YOU BOUGHT ELSEWHERE?
If you have bought your iPhone 5 in the UK you can move to EE. If you bought it from outside the UK you need to make sure it’s "GSM model A1429", as the other versions won’t work on our 4G network.
Here’s how to be ready to move to EE when it launches
- Join Orange or T-Mobile now on a 12 month SIM-only contract
- If you’re already with Orange or T-Mobile as a pay as you go customer, or as a pay monthly customer on a 30 day plan just take a 12 month SIM-only contract on Orange or T-Mobile
- If you’re already with Orange or T-Mobile and have a pay monthly 12, 18 or 24 month contract just register for updates and we’ll contact you
MAKE SURE YOU’RE HAPPY THAT YOU CAN USE 4GEE WHERE YOU WANT TO
4G will roll out across the UK. By the end of the year, it will cover these 16 cities: Belfast, Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, London, Leeds,
Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton.
You will also benefit from the UK’s biggest 3G network, nationwide.
CHOOSE YOUR NEW EE PLAN AND SIGN UP TO A NEW EE CONTRACT
If you decide to move to EE you will need to start a new contract with EE.
There’s no charge to move. Depending on the cost of your Orange or T-Mobile plan and the EE plan you choose, you may need to pay more than you do today.
EE plans will be announced soon. All plans will be sold with a range of data allowances and bundles allowing you to choose the one that suits you best.
WE’LL SEND YOU A NEW SIM AND YOU’RE GOOD TO GO
As soon as you get the new SIM you will be able to enjoy superfast 4GEE internet speeds on your 4G LTE ready phone or device.
WHAT NEXT?
We’ll be in touch when 4GEE launches so sit tight until we do.
In the meantime, register for 4GEE updates and check us out on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to speed.
Can’t wait? Come back to this page once EE launches to find out how to request your move to EE.
T&Cs
4G: Subject to coverage. UK only. Pay monthly only. A compatible 4G plan on EE is required. You’ll have to agree to a new 18 or 24 month minimum term on EE. Other terms apply. No charge to move to EE if you join or upgrade on T-Mobile or Orange before 31 Dec 2012 and move to same length plan on EE or longer. Charges apply if you move to a shorter plan on EE. You’ll need to choose a new EE plan with the same monthly charge or higher than your old Orange or T-Mobile plan. iPhone 5: Phones from other networks will need to be unlocked by them. You should check with your network. Superfast 4GEE: just how fast your 4G will be depends on a couple of things: where you are and how many other people are using 4G too. Have a quick look at ee.co.uk for more info. Largest 3G network: based on total number of 3G transmitters. 5 times faster 3G: based on 1.5 Mbps UK average speed for 3G (source: most recent Ofcom speed survey) and 8-12 Mbps average speed for 4GEE (source: EE data). Coverage: When we launch 4G, not all of the cities listed will be immediately enabled. See ee.co.uk for more info. When 4GEE launches, you should complete a personal coverage check and decide whether to move to EE.
