Trying to close my mobile account from Australia

I have moved to Australia and have my English phone with my EE number, I have kept it temporarily but now need to close my mobile account.  My contract ended in January 2024 so I am not tied in to a contract period.

I cannot contact EE by phone, I only have EU roaming and have tried to add Data Roaming to my phone twice but still cannot telephone EE either by using the 150 number or the number specified for phoning from abroad 07953 966150.  Both times I have added the roaming it has added 16 pounds to my account for next month, I am loath to do it again.  I have tried to text using 150 but the answers are automated and do not help.  I'm sure there used to be an online chat box but there doesn't appear to be now.  I have checked emails received from EE but they are all 'do not reply to this email'.

As it stands, I am paying my monthly bill but not using the phone and will not now use it at all, can anyone advise please how I can contact EE to cancel my number and account?

Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. on Skype over WiFi. It should be free.

If you think I helped please feel free to hit the "Thumbs Up" button below.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU => 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU => 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC => 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC => 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC => 2022: EE 80 Meg FTTC (no landline number)

Data roaming simply means using mobile data whilst roaming. Voice calls don't use mobile data, and if you only have EU-roaming enabled, you cannot roam outside the EU.

Whether you use that roaming for data roaming, text roaming or voice-call roaming is a secondary question to having roaming enabled in the first place.

In your case, the Skype solution is probably easiest
