@Rivvvers It’s not available yet. There is no date given on when to expect this.

@Rivvvers - No news on that, I guess any news on that would be posted here - https://newsroom.ee.co.uk/.

When HD and WIFI calling was finally made available for PAYG, there was a short post about that.

5G not available on PAYG. Also data speed is capped at 25Mbps so EE really not a good choice. Have a look at 1pmobile which isn't capped, has 5G, is much cheaper (200GB for £20) and runs on EE network.

Thanks, I’ll have a look.

gotta be honest that’s a little shocking, giffgaff has 5G and no cap (didn’t even realise networks did caps lol)

I currently get 20gb for £10 also

I was mainly interested in coming over so I could set up my Apple Watch on cellular, because giffgaff hasn’t got support from apple for that.

@Rivvvers You can not have the Apple Watch linked with a PAYG anyway you need to be a contract customer as the Watch which you already have is on a 30 day rolling contract and your billed for that along with the contract.

I actually gave sales a call and he went off, came back and he said that you can have a cellular Apple Watch on payg. Who to believe 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Rivvvers You’ll be disappointed is you do try and get the watch working with a PAYG account as it’ll not work.

You can have it working without cellular data though as that’s just the same as a none cellular watch it just links to your device and you probably are using that this way now.

and you’ll find this HERE
