I had to buy my last phone outright which cost me a bloody fortune so would really like to be able to just get a new phone without a new plan cos the one I have is great. However the phone I want is £89pm with ee but only £53 with sky!!! Why on earth is there such a massive difference in price.....</LI></UL> Mon, 27 Dec 2021 12:55:27 GMT LouThreadwell 2021-12-27T12:55:27Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Archived-Posts/Re-Do-I-have-to-upgrade-my-plan-if-I-want-a-new-phone/m-p/1109137#M292540 <UL><LI><a href="https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1125054">@Eis</a>&nbsp;@I'm very interested to know if you ever managed to this with ee or if you found anywhere else that did it?

You can only stay on your current plan by buying a new phone outright from another retailer, not a network, like Amazon.</P> Mon, 27 Dec 2021 15:12:19 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Archived-Posts/Re-Do-I-have-to-upgrade-my-plan-if-I-want-a-new-phone/m-p/1109169#M292542 XRaySpeX 2021-12-27T15:12:19Z
