With contracts of 24 months at a time, it\\&#8217;s not like it comes around very often, but this process is often rushed by people and not thought about as much as it should.<\/p>\n<p>Bearing in mind we use our phones for almost everything these days, you think people would want to put more effort into finding the right one for them. But instead\u00a0upgrades\u00a0are often rushed and we are left being, once again, more often than not disappointed after 3 months, realising we still don\\&#8217;t have enough data to last.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about new and improved smartphones appearing on the market, is that Network Providers are upping the amount of data on tariffs. This is something that\u00a0EE\u00a0have down to a T. With the widespread use of 4G\u00a0EE\u00a0provide more than you bargained for by throwing in some extra gifts that actually save some a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>With the\u00a04GEE Max plan, you can use a maximum of 15GB from your data allowance whilst roaming in the Europe Zone. To top this off you can also take your texts, minutes and data with you to 53 destinations including Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, USA and of course Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Now this is just the beginning, on top of this\u00a0EE\u00a0give new customers 6 Months of free\u00a0Apple Music, with an\u00a0iOS\u00a0and\u00a0Android\u00a0phone. They also cover that data it uses so you can fully enjoy it without worrying about running out. This even counts for downloading the music, not just streaming.<\/p>\n<p>Now incase that isnt enough, EE\u00a0also throw in 3 months\u2019 free\u00a0BT Sport\u00a0for pay monthly customers either on your phone or connected tablet. So for all you sport lovers this is a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>EE\u00a0love people to upgrade with them rather than their previous provider, so love to be extra generous to help ease that worry of changing network provider. (and to make their deals hard to beat) but also do look after their existing customers too, by giving them an extra 10% saving on phones and plans.<\/p>\n<p>Upgrading\u00a0has never been easier, with the ability to go into\u00a0store, order\u00a0online\u00a0or just\u00a0call\u00a0up and get someone to do all the hard work for you!<\/p>\n<p>Can you think of a reason not to go for an\u00a0EE Upgrade?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody loves that time when your 24 month\u00a0contract is finally coming to an end, and you can make the most out of finding the perfect\u00a0upgrade\u00a0deal and phone for you.
