EE introduces new “micro” plans Euro Pass and Euro Data Pass for travelers

U.K. wireless carrier EE has announced a couple new options launching today designed to make it easier for their customers traveling throughout Europe to make calls, text others, and tap into data if necessary. The new plans, called Euro Pass and Euro Data Pass borrow concepts of micropayments so that users can pay for the services on a daily basis, and only for days that they actually use the services, rather than having to buy a whole month-long block.

The Euro Pass product is intended for customers on EE Pay Monthly, SIM Only and small business acounts and provides unlimited calls and texts, and a block of 100MB of 4G data access for £4 per day ($6.26 USD). EE customers who are on 4GEE Extra plan already have unlimited calls and texts throughout 39 Europe Zone locations, so the Euro Data Pass was designed to give them a 100MB block of data on a daily basis for £3 per day ($4.69 USD). For both plans, if a user exceeds the 100MB data block, they will receive an additional 400MB at no extra cost, but it will be at a non-4G speed. All use by consumers when traveling and using these plans will not count against their normal plan limitations when back home.

EE says users can add the plans on the fly at any time, including once they are already outside of the U.K. EE users can just send a text message to trigger the addition of one of the new plans.
