Well, 35p for the text message.

Fill yer boots!

EE said:

To obtain the free to hire Power Bar, mobile customers must text POWER to 365. Broadband customers must text JOIN plus your EE landline number to 60005 and follow the instructions provided. Texts cost 35p. This mechanism is required to enable EE to (i) verify the customer is an existing customer; and (ii) provide a redemption code that customers provide to our retail agents when collecting the Power Bar.

Just got mine. It's not exactly everyday portable but it's a nice to have for camping, festivals, travelling on trains/planes etc. Beware of the built-in torch, it's fking bright!

For info, the capacity of the EE bar is 2600maH which is the same as the battery capacity on my HTC M8.

Guys, need to watch the terms and conditions:

"A Power Bar is made available to you on a free to hire basis, under the terms of this agreement, for a maximum of 18 months. After 18 months, the Power Bar must be returned to EE and the Service will end. "

"If you don’t you’ll have to pay a charge to compensate us for replacing the Power Bar. Currently this is £5."
A bit naughty if you ask me, hundreds of people will get caught out by this.

Probably so churning customers don't get to keep it forever. I suspect agreements will be renewed when your contract is renewed. Dunno, probably an arse covering exercise.

£20 voucher isn't a bad thing to come from it....

Indeed, good response from EE. I'm hoping I've got a deadly one now.

Just got a text - looks like a Total Recall of all power bars.
