Monthly Cost Mix-Up?

Basically, I got a text saying  could upgrade 100 days early for no extra cost if I selected a new plan that was of equal or greater value than my current plan. I really wanted a newer phone, so I took it. 


I registered for the new phone, selected my plan, etc. etc. This is the confirmation I get:

I'm like, "Great! Finally I can get that new phone I've wanted!" 
But about ten minutes later, I get an email saying there's a discrepancy between my account and order form and to call the support number. Alright, no big deal, right?
I call the number and sort it all out, the advisor on the phone was incredibly pleasant and we worked it out and I ended up adding a phone case and screen protector to the order. All was well!

Then I get another confirmation email for the phone that gets actually put through for me, and now my monthly cost is up almost 15 quid more expensive! I've lost the £5 discount that initially came with the plan, and now I'm going to charged £10 for Apple Music when I would've originally gotten it as a free Smart Benefit?

What can be done about this, if anything at all? I'm not keen on paying almost £54 a month for this phone, especially when I'm currently working fewer hours and making less money given the current climate. 


Should I contact support again? I absolutely dread phone calls, but I'll do it if I have to in order to get these extra charges off.

 I actually just finished chatting to an agent about it and everything is all sorted out now - I didn't realise I could have a live chat on the site since it heavily encourages users towards the community page

It seems like the images didn't upload properly, so I'll repost them here via links because I can't get them to work properly otherwise.

@VinniDragon Images need to be approved before they load up. As your question relates to your account an d there is no access here, you would do better to ring customer service to get this resolved.

 

Just taking a look at it, it appears that they have added Apple Music as a monthly cost, so if that was your free add on benefit, definitely ring customer service to get this sorted.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.
