I have no internet on my phone and don't want it (I use a laptop at home), I hardly ever make a call and text sporadically.
I am already paying £10, 49 monthly, which I think is quite enough for what I do! And now an increase? Why?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

1. Bcs that’s what you agreed.
2. What phone do you have?

I have no recollection of having agreed to a price/plan increase, given that I hardly ever use the phone! it's a basic Nokia for idiots, no internet 🙂

I am planning on calling 150 that tomorrow, thanks very much!
I am actually on Pension Credit, so I understand I am entitled to a lower rate?
How do I prove it? I can easily take a pic of a letter and save it on my laptop, but how do I produce it?
I could see no space to upload files on this site...

The camera icon in forum replies allows images to be uploaded, they are then checked for personal or identifiable info before being published. Uploading personal info such as letters, to a public internet forum, is not a good idea on any level!
There is an "EE basics" plan which may suit - info on https://ee.co.uk/mobile/basics

To benefit from lower fees you must be on the EE Basics | EE Social Mobile Tariff plan if you are on state benefits.
