EE Business Phone SIMs

An EE Business Phone SIM goes into a smartphone or any mobile device with a SIM slot. It carries unlimited UK calls, unlimited UK texts, and a data allowance from 1 GB up to unlimited. EE Business phone SIMs are available on 30-day rolling, 12-month, and 24-month contracts.

All EE Business Phone SIM plans include Stay Connected Data – which keeps your device connected to critical services at a reduced speed if you exhaust your monthly data allowance. This prevents a mobile running entirely offline mid-working day if a team member has a heavy usage month. Annual Check-ups and Extended Warranty cover are also included as standard on all business plans, which matters for companies managing a fleet of handsets.

Business Essential

The Business Essential tier is the entry-level business plan. It includes unlimited UK minutes and texts, your chosen data allowance, Stay Connected Data, Annual Check-ups, and Extended Warranty. This is the right starting point for most business fleets where the priority is reliable voice and data connectivity on the UK’s best network.

Business All Rounder

Business All Rounder adds Inclusive Extras on top of everything in the Essential tier. An Inclusive Extra is a swappable add-on that you can change every 30 days from a list that includes a Roam Abroad Pass (allowing use of your plan across 47 European destinations), Apple Music, TNT Sports, Microsoft 365 Personal, or 500 minutes for calling Europe from the UK. For teams that regularly travel within Europe, the Roam Abroad Pass inclusion changes the cost calculation significantly compared to standard plans.

Data allowances available on EE Business Phone SIMs

Data allowanceWho it suits
1 GBVery light users – emails, messaging, occasional browsing. Suitable for site or production staff whose primary device is not a smartphone.
10 GBStandard business users – email, browsing, maps, occasional video calls. The most common starting point for general business fleets.
50 GBHigher usage – regular video calls, file transfers, remote desktop. Field engineers, sales staff, and remote workers.
100 GBHeavy data users – frequent video conferencing, large file handling, mobile hotspot for a laptop. Executive and technical teams.
UnlimitedNo data cap. Suitable for users who regularly tether a laptop or work primarily from a mobile device with no fixed broadband.

EE Business Data-Only SIMs

An EE Business Data-Only SIM carries mobile data but no voice calls and no SMS. These SIMs go into devices that need internet access but not phone functionality: tablets, laptops with SIM slots, mobile Wi-Fi hotspot devices, vehicle tracking units, or any connected device where data connectivity is the requirement.

Data-only SIMs on EE’s network give those devices access to the same 5G and 4G network as the phone SIMs, with the same coverage footprint. Available allowances range from 10 GB up to unlimited, on 30-day, 12-month, and 24-month terms. Stay Connected Data applies to data-only SIMs too, meaning the device keeps a basic connection even if the monthly allowance runs low.

Common uses for EE Business Data-Only SIMs

  • Tablets used by field service engineers, delivery drivers, or site managers who need access to job management software and documents on the move.
  • Laptops with SIM card slots for remote workers who need internet access independently of Wi-Fi availability.
  • Mobile broadband dongles and MiFi hotspot devices providing internet access at temporary sites, events, or vehicles.
  • Digital signage and display boards in retail, hospitality, or outdoor advertising that stream content over cellular.
  • CCTV cameras with SIM card slots at sites without fixed broadband.
  • Industrial routers in vehicles, plant equipment, or remote monitoring applications where a standard consumer data SIM is appropriate rather than a specialist IoT SIM.
Note on using EE data-only SIMs in industrial routers: EE Business data-only SIMs work in Teltonika routers and other industrial cellular routers. For the majority of standard industrial applications, they provide reliable connectivity on the UK’s best network. However, for deployments requiring a fixed IP address, a private APN, or SIM management at scale, a specialist IoT SIM card is the more appropriate solution. We can advise on which SIM type is right for each application – call us on 0300 124 6181.

How EE Business SIMs Differ from IoT SIM Cards

Many businesses that buy EE business SIMs from routerstore.com also buy IoT SIM cards from us for their connected devices, routers, and machines. These are different products designed for different purposes, and understanding the difference avoids placing the wrong SIM in the wrong device.

EE Business SIMs are consumer-grade mobile plans on the EE public network. They are optimised for human users who browse, stream, call, and use cloud applications on their device. The APN routes traffic across EE’s public internet gateway. Data allowances are generous. Roaming options are available for international travel. The pricing model reflects consumer-grade usage patterns.

IoT SIM cards are designed for machines, industrial routers, sensors, and connected infrastructure where the device runs continuously, often at a remote or unattended location. Key differences are the availability of a fixed IP address (allowing inbound connections to the device), private APN options (routing traffic off the public internet for security), multi-network roaming (automatically switching between all UK networks for coverage resilience), and very small monthly data allowances at low cost to match the traffic profile of telemetry and remote monitoring applications.

For businesses running a mix of smartphones for staff and cellular routers or connected devices for infrastructure, routerstore.com can supply both. We understand both product types and can advise on the right SIM for each application in your fleet. This is where buying through a specialist reseller with 25 years of telecoms experience provides direct value – you get one point of contact across your entire mobile and IoT SIM estate.

Contract Lengths and Plan Flexibility

EE Business SIM plans are available on three contract lengths. Each has a different trade-off between price and commitment.

Contract lengthBest forNotes
30-day rollingShort-term projects, seasonal workers, trialling EE before committing to a longer contractMaximum flexibility. Cancel or change with 30 days notice. Typically higher monthly cost than 24-month equivalent.
12 monthsMid-term planning, growing businesses that expect to revise fleet size within a yearBalanced commitment. Competitive pricing without the full two-year lock-in.
24 monthsEstablished fleets with predictable usage, maximising value on known data allowancesBest available monthly rate. Most business customers choose 24 months for the cost advantage. EE prices increase annually on 31 March – factor this into budget planning.

One important consideration on EE business plans: prices increase each year on 31 March. On 24-month contracts taken today, the monthly cost increases at each March renewal point during the contract term. We explain this to every customer at point of sale and factor it into the total cost of ownership comparison against alternatives.


EE Network Coverage

EE has held the title of the UK’s best mobile network for over 12 consecutive years, based on independent testing. The network covers the majority of the UK population on 4G and is building out 5G coverage across more than 160 locations, with rollout continuing. Key coverage points relevant to business decisions:

  • 5G is available in major UK cities and expanding. Speeds and coverage vary by location and device capability.
  • 4G LTE provides the baseline coverage for the majority of UK businesses, including rural and semi-rural areas.
  • EE is the network trusted by over 300,000 emergency services personnel across the UK, which reflects the reliability standard the network is engineered to.
  • Stay Connected Data provides a fallback 0.5 Mbps connection on all business plans even if the monthly data allowance is fully consumed. For business-critical devices, this prevents complete loss of connectivity at the end of a heavy-usage month.
  • For sites where EE coverage alone may be insufficient, our multi-network IoT roaming SIMs automatically select the strongest available UK network at each location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my existing mobile number when switching to an EE business SIM?

Yes. You can port your existing number to EE from any UK network by requesting a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from your current provider. The port takes place at your contract start date and is normally completed within one working day with no interruption to service. We handle the porting process as part of the account setup.

Can I mix Phone SIMs and Data-Only SIMs on the same business account?

Yes. Business accounts can include multiple SIM types and multiple plan tiers on the same account. A business with 10 staff smartphones on phone SIM plans and 5 tablets on data-only plans manages all of them through the same EE business account. We set up and manage the account on your behalf.

What is Stay Connected Data and will it affect my business operations?

Stay Connected Data is an EE-specific feature that keeps your device connected at a reduced speed (0.5 Mbps) if you run out of your monthly data allowance, rather than cutting off entirely. For most business applications – email, messaging, and light web use – 0.5 Mbps is sufficient to continue working until the allowance resets. It does not apply to high-bandwidth activities such as video conferencing or large file transfers, but prevents the harder failure mode of a device going completely offline mid-month.

How is an EE business SIM different from an EE consumer SIM?

EE business plans are available exclusively to registered businesses. They include business-specific features such as Annual Check-ups (a regular review of your plan usage and whether a different plan would serve you better), Extended Warranty on devices, and enhanced technical support. Business accounts also have access to account management, multi-line billing, and reseller services not available to consumer customers. Pricing is exclusive of VAT, which registered businesses can reclaim.

Can I use an EE business SIM in a router or industrial device?

EE data-only SIMs work in most routers and connected devices with a SIM slot. They provide EE network connectivity using the standard public APN. However, they do not offer fixed IP addresses or private APN options, which are required for VPN tunnels, remote device access, and certain industrial connectivity requirements. For those applications, our specialist fixed IP IoT SIM cards are the right choice. For general-purpose router deployments where a standard public IP is sufficient, an EE data-only SIM works well, particularly where EE coverage is strong at the site in question.

What happens if I need to change my data allowance mid-contract?

EE business accounts can upgrade to a higher data allowance during the contract term. Downgrades to a lower allowance are generally applied at renewal. We advise on the most cost-effective approach when a fleet’s usage pattern changes during a contract period. Annual Check-ups are built into EE business plans specifically to catch these situations before they cause overspend.
