Could I make a deposit on new phones?

Hi,

If I would put a £500 deposit on a brand new phone, could I pay the rest off in 24 months?

@TigerGH You’ll have to take out a contract as EE don’t sell phones on their own. Or you have to purchase one on PAYG.

Of course, I’m happy to be on a contract. My question is if I could make a deposit to shorten the amount of direct debit I pay per month?

@TigerGH No that’s not possible,

You can only choose from the upfront payments on offer. However you could make a large 1-off payment to your a/c at any time & it'll be used as credit towards your future bills, but not spread evenly across all your bills.
