EE today announced it is extending its hugely popular free Apple Music offer to all EE pay monthly mobile handset and SIM-only customers from 19th July. EE is also for the first time providing them with the ability to use their six months free Apple Music membership to stream and download music and videos without using their mobile data allowance.

Due to the overwhelming response from customers for the original offer, EE has decided to extend it to millions of existing iPhone and Android pay monthly mobile customers. Those who have taken advantage of the original deal are still able to receive six free months of data for streaming Apple Music, so they can listen to their favourite tracks on their phone.

Apple Music is a single, intuitive app that combines the best ways to enjoy music. Listen to radio stations for every genre, including the flagship Beats 1 station, playlists curated by world-class music experts, and your music library which lives alongside a catalogue of over 40 million songs for on and offline playback. Globally, 27 million paying subscribers can listen to new music first and rediscover old favourites with playlists including "Today's Hits", "Best of the Week" and "The A-List". Apple Music also offers exciting and exclusive new programming, including P Diddy’s documentary "Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop", "Planet of the Apps” and "Carpool Karaoke” which launches on August 8th.
