Hi guys I’m looking at getting the iPhone duo, we have had contracts since T-Mobile/ orange days and paid bill every month without fail. I’m currently on a sim only for £13 a month unlimited everything. I called today and was told it’s £108 a month with a £550 upfront cost, we have good credit but EE simply saying we are not eligible for flex pay. Yet if I go with sky mobile on 48 month contract and pay £12 upfront it’s £48 with a sim, then I can just transfer my number from ee to sky and be paying a lot less, yes it’s a longer time I know but keeps cost down. I can’t see why it’s soo high with ee considering thanks guys what do you guys suggest??

can anyone help please. I have done application for iPhone, I gone through everything and send a selfie ect and dl.. I have got to the end and it’s asking me for payment of £30 upfront cost. Does this mean I’m accepted or will they decide after I pay??

Sky is an O2-MVNO. Is cost your only concern?

@Howarduk82 That’s because you’re being quoted for a 24 month contract.
you might have a good credit rating but EE also have a credit limit for you so you’re being asked to pay a large sum towards the device.

@Howarduk82 , if they are asking for an upfront payment, then it will be pending until such time as your phone is dispatched, and if the order is cancelled for any reason, then the upfront cost will be returned to your account within 7-10 days.
