As for pricing, expect to pay £19.99 up-front, then a pretty-pricey £46.99 per month for unlimited texts, calls and 2GB of monthly 4GEE data. Even if you crank things up to the 20GB per-month package, you’re still going to have to pay the £19.99 up-front, but you get “4G Plus” and unlimited everything else for £58.49.
The cheapest deal we could find was £36.99 per month, but you’ll need to stump up £99.99 and you’ll only get 500MB 4GEE data per month with 500 minutes and unlimited texts. The “recommended” deal from EE gives you 1GB of data (probably enough for most people) with 1000 minutes and unlimited texts. That’ll cost you £41.99 every month with a £49.99 up-front fee.
Deliveries of the M9 are promised “within 28 days”.
