British mobile network, EE, has announced to give completely free calls, texts and data to its customers with disabilities during lockdown.

The British mobile network has said it will give its customers with disabilities unlimited usage for no extra cost, in addition to the mobile package they are already on.

Only existing EE customers will qualify for this giveaway, with EE defining “existing customers” as those who registered with the company as vulnerable or disabled people before March 24 2020.

The offer is now live and while EE has contacted those customers who qualify to tell them the good news, it has said it may review whether the offer could expand to include customers who have signed up after that date.

“We’re continuing to look at other ways that we may be able to help our vulnerable customers at this difficult time.” said spokesperson for the British Mobile Network.
