Device costs/flexi plan

[baileyuk]

hello, why is the price so high for the samsung s25 contract? your currently making people people pay for both for the device and the contract both of which come up to a min of £50 odd a month, other mobile phone contracts offer the contract for them for as little as £32 with almost the exact same contract deals from a smaller company who "piggyback" off the network infrastructure of others. and why is ee suddenly seeming so high in costs?

EE's default option is currently the FlexPay, where the device-loan & airtime-plan are contractually separate thus with independent repayments. The device-loan is a fixed-term plan, the airtime is a minimum-term based option,

You may be able to opt for a traditional plan if you'd prefer, where all the costs are contractually bound into one single payment that is operated on a minimum-term basis.

MVNO's have traditionally competed on cost, they're not in any position to compete on service levels and their very nature is the budget end of the market.

@baileyuk  MVNO networks tend to be cheaper.
