Connecting to EE when "Out and about"

treez — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 09:23:19 GMT

Hi,

When i am in a coffee shop or wherever, i obviously dont have my EE mobile router with me, (I have a Broadband account with EE). Though my laptop detects a local area EE internet when i'm out in town.

How can i log on to this, or can't i?

Presumably i dont have to pay anything as i already pay EE for my mobile router account.?

I think you are referring to the EE WiFi public network. You may only connect to that for free when you have fixed New EE Home BB. Mobile BB doesn't count. Otherwise you need to pay the rates advertised on that page.

Hi @treez

To add to @XRaySpeX post just remember to connect with a VPN for security.

Thanks
