Intermittent wifi dongle use

scallywag73 — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:00:04 GMT

Hi, I will be travelling round uk soon and would like to be able to use an EE dongle but without a contract and to just be able to access it every now and again, i would be in some remote parts where wifi is non-existant, so, could anyone give me some guidance on what i would have to do to be able to do this if indeed i would be able to. Thanks.

To use data from a PAYG SIM you need to buy a pack or a data add-on.

EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-chargeable use. You then have a further 3 months period of grace to call EE to reactivate it before it is lost completely.

You need to make a chargeable action like topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from your pack.
