Okay,
So I've been trying to make sense of this while waiting for any fantastic deals this year while out of contract sadly my bill has jumped up to £200 a month and that's without a new contract for 3 phones.
This morning I was looking again for offers and seemingly everything has gone overboard and even for an account that's been loyal for the last 30 years I'm disgusted.
Then this jumps out at me for just upgrading my number.
Switched to other phones on the account and it was the same across it,so I rang upgrades and it put me through to retentions and the attitude I got for pointing this out was "yeah that's right so what's your problem,so do you want to do the upgrade then or what" worse bit was they also wanted me to tell them the FULL account password which felt Dangerous but in the end I got the advisor to be selective with a sigh.
This really really is making me consider changing networks as the service is going down hill for such a premium network that all us customers helped build from the ground up in the "Orange" Days when "the futures bright,the futures Orange" it was even more fun to own a mobile phone.
Shame on you all EE,you have lost your way in this digital world it seems.

@Junedavies1949 It’s actually built on the T-Mobile network after the merger between Orange and T-Mobile and then became known as Everything Everywhere 2010 and then it got change to just EE ( 2012 ) Nothing got used on the old orange network it’s didn’t support 4G but T-Mobiles network did.
And I think that’s a glitch because no one will agree to take out a contract with 2 price increases at that cost per year. But if it s correct I’ll probably change providers myself.
it’s meant to be £1.50

Hi @Junedavies1949,
Welcome to the EE Community
I am sorry to hear of the experience you had speaking to us on the phone, that is disappointing and definitely not something we expect. I understand one bad experience can lead you to want to change.
Regarding the annual price increase, that definitely looks incorrect. Where exactly is it you do see that pop up?
This years price change has just went into effect 1st April. If your plan started on or before 9th April 2024 then your price increase would be CPI+3.9% which worked out as 6.4% increase.
Flex pay plans taken from 10th April 2024 would have a flat £1.50 increase on the airtime plan. It seems the part of the website you are on may be reporting the £1.50 mistakenly as £14.50.
