To help its users post messages on social media, watch videos and keep in touch with all the Coronation of King Charles news and celebrations, EE has announced that all its customers will get totally free and unlimited data this weekend.
That basically means anyone who subscribes to this UK network can post as much as they like, surf the web and watch endless videos online without it eating into their usual monthly allowance.
The free data starts from midnight tonight, Saturday 6th May and ends on Sunday, 7th May at midnight.
With data one of the most expensive parts of a smartphone contract, this incentive is sure to be welcomed by millions of users across the UK. The best part is you don't have to sign up with EE taking care of everything for you.
Speaking about the news, Marc Allera, CEO of EE said: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for the country as we mark the coronation of King Charles III. We want to ensure our customers can make the most of their celebrations across the weekend.
“We know the last thing anyone wants to worry about is their data running out while they’re enjoying the weekend. So, across Saturday and Sunday, our customers will be able to count on our award-winning network to stream the historic moment and stay connected with family and friends.”
