Hi, Whenever you see EE PAYG simcards in shops for about £1 to buy and they offer adding the £10 pack with mins, texts and data, and they have free extra data for 6 months. So £10 is free 20gb data, £15 is 50gb extra and £20 is 70gb extra etc.
If you picked up the £15 simcard can you only add the £15 pack or can you still use that same sim and get the £10 pack or the £20 pack with the extra data they have.
Or do you have to buy the exact Sim for the deal and extra data you want? As in are the sims and deals are tied together for each individual sim?
So if i bought the £15 deal sim instore but just added the £10 pack would i just get the 20gb extra data or wouldnt it work?
Hope that mnakes sense.
Thanks

@CMBlink : You have to buy the exact SIM for the deal and extra data you want.
If you buy a particular SIM you can only switch to the other packs but w/out the extra data. Only the pack you bought it with gives you the extra data.
