APPLE MUSIC
Get six free months of Apple Music membership
Apple Music gives you access to more than 40 million tracks.
You can also listen to Apple radio services, curate your own personalised music, live stream and download for offline listening.
The offer is for anyone joining or upgrading an EE pay monthly or SIM only phone plan.
You then get six months of free Apple Music to use with your Apple or Android device when signing up to a rolling £10.99 Apple Music on EE subscription. When your six months expires you'll pay £10.99 each month on your EE bill.
Basics - Who can get Apple Music?
Getting Apple Music on EE
You can get Apple Music on EE within 30 days of joining or upgrading - if you choose an EE pay monthly or SIM only phone plan.
The offer is for both consumer and small business customers (commercial use isn't allowed). And you have to be using an Apple or Android device.
This offer is NOT available on a tablet plan but you can use Apple Music on your tablet using your Apple ID if you have the Apple Music on EE add-on on your pay monthly or SIM only phone plan.
To take advantage of Apple Music on EE you must have:
- a pay monthly or SIM only consumer or small business phone plan
- an active Apple Music on EE subscription
- a compatible Apple (iOS 8 or later) or Android (4.3 or later) device
- access to a WiFi or a data connection to stream or download Apple Music, Radio and Connect
- an Apple ID and password.
- the Apple Music app installed on your device.
An Apple ID can be used on multiple devices but it isn't possible to stream live music on more than one device at a time.
Text MUSIC to 150
within 30 days of the start of your contract. We’ll send you a text with a link so you can get set up straight away.
Sorry, but our six months free Apple Music membership offer is only available to customers who've upgraded with or joined EE on a pay monthly or SIM only phone plan on an iOS or Android device in the last 30 days. If you’re outside of this, you can still become an Apple Music member directly with Apple. Just visit the Apple website for more info.
Data usage
The amount of data you'll use when streaming over the EE network depends on:
- your device
- the streaming bit-rate
- the type of data connection you're using
- internet coverage and traffic on our network.
The more you stream or download on the app, the more data you'll use.
Typically, streaming music for one hour on our 3G or 4G network uses approximately 110MB of data. However when streaming or downloading on WiFi it won’t use your data allowance.
If you're concerned about data usage, you can download music over a WiFi connection and listen to this while on the move.
Our usage alerts mean you'll never go over your data limit by accident, so there are never any surprise data bills.
If you want even more data to make the most of Apple Music, you can sign up for Home Broadband with EE to get a Data Boost of 5GB each month.

Billing - What happens after the free six months?
Apple Music on EE will appear on your bill in the same way other add-ons do. During the free period, it will appear on your bill as a free service.
After the free period, you will be charged for your Apple Music membership on EE. It’s £10.99 a month. In your first month you may see two Apple Music items on your bill.
One item will be a pro-rata charge for the remainder of that billing period; the other Apple Music item on your bill will be for the next full month, in advance.
Your free period will start from the point that Apple Music on EE is added to your account so it’s important that you activate and start using Apple Music right away.
If you already have Apple Music direct with Apple, you'll need to cancel your existing subscription - you can cancel this within the Apple Music app. Otherwise, you'll have two contracts running concurrently and will continue to be charged by Apple.
How to cancel - Find out how to cancel Apple Music
You'll benefit from Apple Music on EE free for six months.
Towards the end of your offer period we’ll send you a message telling you when it will end and reminding you how to cancel your offer.
At the end of your free six months we'll advise you that you're now paying for the service through EE.
You can cancel Apple Music on EE in two ways:
- by texting STOP MUSIC to 150
- by calling Customer Services on 150.
If you text STOP MUSIC to 150 during your free period, Apple Music on EE will be cancelled and removed immediately. If you've cancelled during your free period and later decide you would like to take Apple Music on EE again, you'll have to choose the chargeable add-on at £10.99 per month. You can choose the chargeable add-on by texting MUSIC to 150 and then following the on-screen instructions.
If you text STOP MUSIC to 150 after moving to £10.99 per month, Apple Music on EE will be removed from your next bill date. You can continue using Apple Music for the period you have already paid for. We’ll then contact you again once the service has been removed.
