Well, as you posted under Home BB I naturally took it that you wanted social tariffs for BB

However now you brought it up, EE does a social tariff on mobile plans - see EE Basics | EE Social Mobile Tariff

Social Tariffs do not apply when purchasing a new phone, they are purely for allowing people on certain benefits to get affordable connectivity.

Only available as a SIM Only.

EE offer EE Basics on SIM Only, but there is no such thing as a social tariff for contracts including a handset.

Social Tariffs are there to provide affordable connectivity services to customers in receipt of certain benefits.

I only asked as it was mentioned this morning on the BBC. I am on a benefit its PIP plus I am a senior citizen. May be it would be an idea if EE introduced a socail tariff for contract phones.

My isp has a socail tariff for broadband which I am on. Unfortunately though ee or any other broadband company can't offer me anything as kcom is a private company

@Ulllass59 , just to add, phones are expensive, so that is why no social tariff, you can get a cheap one somewhere else and get the sim only contract basic on social tariff from EE. You do not need to get a new phone every 24 months, they will still work as well for more years rather than getting a new one every 24 months, saves on the environment.

My contract is for 25 months. After that the phone isn't as good as it should be. I use it daily. I tried sim only and it didn't work. Phone stopped working. I am disabled and a senior citizen so I reliy on it a lot. I still use my old phone for games etc.
