Probably one of the most frustrating things for mobile users nowadays is that smartphones and tablets' battery problems still persist despite the "best efforts" from OEMs to give us better charging devices. One mobile network company wants to help out their consumers (and themselves too of course) by giving out free portable chargers for those who are always on the go.
Calling it their "Power to the People" campaign (and they mean it literally), current active subscribers to the network will be able to get a free Power Bar portable charger, simply by opting-in to the promo through SMS. The 2,600 mAh charger can fully charge one cycle for a smartphone. And in case your charger runs out of juice while you're still out, you can just go to any EE store and swap it for a fully charged power bank. But you also have the option of keeping your depleted charger and just juicing it up again once you reach a place where there's a charger or power outlet.
To be eligible to join this free charger program, you need to have a 30-day or 12-24 month plan for their mobile, fixed line or broadband services. Subscribers to their other program, PAYG or Pay As You Go, can also join but they should have been a customer for at least three months.
This is a good move for EE to take care of its small base while also attracting new users. And of course the more battery your device has, the more data, calls, and messages you consume so it should benefit EE as well in the long run.
