Out of Bundle Charges

What are my Out Of Bundle charges?

There might be times when you exceed your monthly allowance of data, minutes, or texts. When you reach this limit your usage is capped, but you can purchase extra to tide you over until your package renews itself. These are known as Out Of Bundle charges.

On EE once you use all of your data this is capped, therefore when you reach your data limit you will no longer be able to use the internet unless you purchase more from EE.

For calls and texts, please see below the out of bundle charges:

The SC will be set and communicated by the organisation you are calling.

The charge for receiving an itemised paper bill is £4 excl. VAT

Apple Music and BT Sport benefits are given once per contract number. Therefore, if this benefit has been used previously, this will not be honoured on this occasion.

iPhone charge update. Please be aware that Animoji can now be sent via MMS. However, when sent iPhone to iPhone, Animoji will be sent as an iMessage first, this would be treated like any other iMessage and decrement the customer’s data allowance. If iMessage fails, Animoji will be sent as MMS and the customer would be charged at the standard MMS rate. When sent iPhone to Android, Animoji will default to MMS and the customer would be charged at the standard MMS rate.

Roaming Three want to keep their roaming pricing as simple for customers as possible, charging a flat price of £2 per day in the EU. For Around The World (ATW) destinations, this will be £5 per day. Pay As You Go customers will continue to have access to Go Roam Europe and ATW going forward. Roaming in Ireland is unaffected – Three believe this is the right thing to do in-particular for those who live on the border with the Republic of Ireland. The Isle of Man is also unaffected.
