Is it 6 months or 60 days? I have saw both figures been quoted several times online.

I can see on the EE website that you have to take their Go Futher add on for a minimum of 6 months but can't see any info about upgrading to a Max plan. I have also asked in store but they were beyond clueless.

MY wife is on EE but I'm on Vodafone who want £6 per day so,I'll be using a Three sim.

Me too. I will opt for 3 three sim... cheaper that upgrading

I think we've maybe been chatting about this elsewhere

Just re-read this post and are you thinking of getting 3 Three SIMs ie one for kids as well?
If so, be aware that Three's Feel at Home DOES NOT support in-country calling, so you won't be able to call each other without a charge unless you use a data calling service e.g. Facetime/Skype/VIBER

I was told by CS one month was fine, as usual poor communications (LOL)

Can anyone advise, I got 2
Theee sims with £20 on each when we visited summer 2016. My husbands phone was locked so we only used one. Heading out again next month so thought I’d pop sim in and see if money was still on it but I think it’s activated a plan now as it says my minutes etc expire 20th July. This is not a problem but I’m there til 4th August so if i top up another £20 will it carry on whilst I’m
There?

From the Three website:

Add-ons expire after 30 days. Unconverted credit has no expiry, but you must make a call, send a text or use some data, once every 6 months to keep the account active.

Sounds like you added credit but didnt use it and have just activated it.
It will only last 30 days so you'll need to top up when there.

Don't forget, you won't be able to call or text each other's Three SIMs while out there as part of the package - it will cost you for this - unless you use data calling/messaging
