Is it possible to get a SIM from EE that is SMS only, no data needed, not fussed if it has minutes on but need one for an alarm system and don't want to be paying through the roof each month for one.

@Matt186 No, they all have call/texts and data. You could get a PAYG sim and not use packs and the account credit allowance will be used towards texts. You can get cheaper sim contracts and calling customer support will be the best option to ask for that.

Yes, you get an EE PAYG SIM and immediately you get it, even before you 1st top up, you text STOP PACK to 150. Then you can use it for texts and calls, not data, at standard per unit rates from your credit.
