New. iPhone SE I am old and confused

Entshed1 — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 14:41:31 GMT

Q1. IS possible just to buy the phone outright from the EE store or online , I am on EE , I pay a set amount a month but own my phone and wanted to just get a new phone and buy it outright

Q2. I have an old iPhone 5. Will my sm fit the new phone and if not does it cost to sort

1: EE don't sell phones without SIMs, so the closest you'll get is to buy it as a PAYG phone and then do whatever you want with the new SIM. A quick search of the PAYG shop found this

2: Apple's website confirms the iPhone 5 & SE both use Nano SIMs - check here

I have an EE sim , I guess it’s a pay as you go although I pay a set amount each month, sorry old and confused, so can I buy a iPhone outright from them and keep my number and my current payment arrangement

also can’t see anywhere online the price of the phones I think there around £500

thank you

There's no benefit buying a PAYG phone from a network. Better & cheaper to buy a SIM-free phone outright from an online site like Amazon or direct from manufacturer & putting your existing SIM in it.

That way you're not forced into buying a top-up you can't use or conversely throwing away any credit you already have on your existing SIM.

Morning @Entshed1

Welcome to the community.

You can find all our available Pay as you go phones on our EE Shop online by tapping here.

You can use your EE SIM card in any EE or unlocked phone if your SIM fits, if not, you can order a replacement SIM card that is the right size and the same number 🙂

If you need any further help, please let us know.

Leanne.
