ALL NHS workers are to be given unlimited internet access on their phones entirely free of charge.

Customers on mobile network EE will be granted unlimited access until at least Friday, October 9.

In a bid to reduce the likelihood of 'out-of-allowance' charges for NHS statff, the network said the deal would be valid on top of further discounts.

Marc Allera, Chief Executive of BT's Consumer Division, said: “We hope this gives NHS staff one less thing to worry about.

"They can keep in touch with friends and family and use the internet without worrying about using up their data.

"Along with the discount we already provide, this is a thank you from all of us at EE to those in the NHS that are working so hard for us all.”

What you need to know

NHS workers need to register online at ee.co.uk/nhs with a valid NHS email address to receive the new offer – this includes those staff already receiving discounts on their monthly mobile plans from EE.

They'll then receive a text message confirming that the unlimited data is on their account, until 9th October 2020.
