Hi All,
Couple of Black Friday's ago I got a good deal on an EE SIM Only - Unlimited/150GB/5G
I fibbed and told them I was also a BT customer. With all the discounts in play, I've been paying £13.33/month.

Fast forward and my contract was due for renewal this month. Took an age before I received the email. Telling me I had a few options open to me.
I could upgrade my phone to something new - here is a link
Change to a different SIM only deal - here is a link.
Or, and here was the surprising bit, I could do nothing and just continue on my current plan at £13.33

Is this new? I'm used to reaching the end of a contact, being given some upgrade options and my current plan reverting to non-discounted and the special pricing being lost.
Obviously there will be price increases at some point, but obviously I'm just going to carry on.
Of course this might be standard practice - I only found out about 18 months ago that UK phones are no longer carrier locked :)
 
With virgin you usually pay a higher amount, but I’ve never had that with EE after the minimum term.


It works both ways though - if you have a phone contract, rather than SIM, then you’ll continue paying for the phone at the end of the minimum term.
 
I’ve just moved to Mozillion as a second sim. 100gb unlimited mins and yes and roaming. £180 for 2 years.

Runs on EE

Kept a legacy contract going with EE since before Brexit, limited to 4G but still has EU roaming and more data boltons that I'll ever need, the only price increase has been the usual RPI/CPI rubbish each year.
 
Just a heads up, I went to the "Leave EE" page yesterday as was looking to go to 1pMobile for the EU roaming element and when I selected "I'm leaving for another network", it popped up a message offering me a 24 month deal with unlimited calls, texts and data plus EU roaming for £13 a month!

Somebody rang me around 30 mins later as I wanted to be sure it was £13 for the whole 24 months and she confirmed it was so signed up for that! Seems a good deal to me!

Unlimited data, calls and text? That's an absolute steal if so. Do you know if it is speed capped?

My EE contract is actually close to ending too, will try this as well when it's time. No speed cap on the current plan but honestly I rarely ever see speeds go even near 100mbps around London.

Edit: actually, just checked, contracted ended in September, so attempted to try it now. But weirdly enough I'm not getting the popup with the offer.

Edit 2: Went through it again with adblocker disabled and pop-up finally came through. EE also called me as the first time I got the PAC code which must've triggered their retention team. Originally was showing as £14 but then noticed scam guard was pre-selected, removed that and it dropped to £13. Don't really need it as the Pixel does a good job itself filtering out spam.

Thanks for the info in this thread, much appreciated, it popped up when I searched for Mozillion.

I clicked on the link to leave EE, got a phone call a couple of hours later, and I've now transferred my 3 SIM cards to new and better 24 month contracts, saving over £20 a month, plus roaming on all of them.

I went for the £13 unlimited, put the other 2 on £10 10gb, and we'll just share my data, perfect, thanks again.
 
I have been on a rolling old EE sim only plan after initial 24 months for 6 months now, all cheaper "upgrade" sim only offers are capped at 100Mbps data and the comparible ones (uncapped speeds and inclusive extra like roaming or xbox game pass) are 50% more expensive.

After a lengthy call from a polite EE salesman, the only good "deal" he could offer was if I took EE broadband, which I have no intention of doing.

I'll keep it rolling on for now.
 
I am also on a 24 month EE sim only contract that ended nearly two years ago. Everything remains the same. You continue to get the annual price increases. I didn’t want to leave/change plan as I didn’t want to loose my EU roaming. However, many of the new EE contracts have brought that back now.

Interesting. My EU roaming expired when my minimum term did, so I had no benefit to staying in the contract.

My plan is the '5G Smart SIM Plan 24m 200GB £25'. Although with the annual price increases it's now £33.70/month. My contract ended in Dec 2022. I still have EU roaming (which I use often), access to maximum speeds and Apple Music is also included (swappable inclusive extra). I didn't want to loose my EU roaming so kept this plan going.

Not sure if I should change plan now that they have bought EU roaming back though. I am very happy with EE, so signing up for a new 24 month contract is no issue for me.

I've been on EE for ages. Like from when it switched form T mobile. I have friends and family discount.

I got a pixel 8 on voxi recently and it came with a rolling sim for a tenner. I get 80GB of data and max speeds. Speeds of like 500 Meg where I live. Much better value than EE and voxi run on voda which has great reception in London.

The equivalent plan on 1p is £16pm, no contract.

Can get the full works or full works for iPhone plan for £29 currently.

If you make use of Apple Music, watch data, Apple TV or arcade it’s a bargain.

I am on a legacy sim only plan with 200GB data, EU roaming and a swappable inclusive extra which I have set to Apple Music which I use all the time. I’m paying £35.21 for this plan now.

I think it may be worth moving to full works while the offer is still on as this plan looks much better in every respect, and Apple One (which is Apple Music and more). Also EU roaming and USA etc too. This sounds too good to be true, am I missing something?

I may call EE in the morning and swap as I had no plans of leaving EE.
