I just want a new phone without a sim plan

[Khos]

How can I just order a new phone on my existing account without having to sign up to a plan?

You can't from EE. You could buy a PAYG handset & put your own SIM plan in it.

If you were to get a new phone where's the SIM plan you'd use with it coming from?

My sister already has a plan (with a working sim), her birthdays coming up so I wanted to give her a phone as a gift. Is this not possible without having to get a sim with it? 

[XRaySpeX]

No, not from EE but can't your sister (or you) just upgrade her existing plan?

[Khos]

She’s still tied into a contract so it’s not very cost effective. Think I have my answer, can’t buy a phone offline without adding another sim plan.

That's right! You can't buy a new phone from EE w/out including a SIM plan which a lot of the money is going towards.

@Khos  There are many places you could buy a phone, depending on your budget/how much you love your sister 😎 

Online from the likes of Amazon/Currys and so on, or the high street shopping centre.

I'd assumed that OP wanted a monthly contract rather than buying outright. Otherwise he could just as well buy a PAYG phone.

Thanks guys, got my answer. Just wanted to spread the cost that’s all. Thanks all the same

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & it is now sorted.
