EE’s free Power Bar portable chargers are available again

The UK carrier, EE, announced a customer rewards scheme with a difference back in April by giving its members a chance to sign up to receive a free external battery pack called the Power Bar with a 2,600mAh capacity. But after receiving more than a million requests in just four days, EE had to temporarily halt accepting new applicants. If you’ve had to wait to claim your free Power Bar, you are in luck because EE has just started accepting new sign ups again.

All you have to do to get your hands on the Power Bar is send the word ‘POWER’ to 365 and wait for your unique code to be sent before you can collect it. The text does charge you 35p, so the Power Bar isn’t quite 100% free, but hey, 35p isn’t much considering that you can also swap out a depleted Power Bar at one of EE’s retails outlets for a fully charged one. Naturally, to take advantage of the offer, you must be an EE/Orange/T-Mobile customer with a 12/18/24 month contract, although if you have been a Pay As You Go customer for at least 3 months you can also take part.

If you are an EE home broadband customer, you can also get a free Power Bar, just send ‘JOIN’ plus your EE landline number to 60005. Again, the text will cost 35p.

Power Bar features:

• 2,600mAh capacity
• Guaranteed lifetime of 500 charges
• Charging indicator lights
• Built-in LED torch
• Includes a MicroUSB cable
• Recharges in 4 hours
