Leaving EE while still in contract

[Han1709]

Hi, I’m aware that while I’m still in contract and I choose to leave that I’ll have to pay the remainder of the term…does this apply if I want to keep the phone? 
I’m going travelling soon and really don’t want to waste my travel money on a phone or contract that (due to excessive charges) I won’t be using. 
was hoping that as the phone contract was upgraded in July 2024 (iPhone 15 max pro) that I could hand the phone back - does anyone know if this is possible? 
was thinking that I could keep the plan as that only has a few months left and could change to a sim only deal and pop my sim back into my old iPhone IF ee will take the phone back….? 
Any help would be greatly appreciated

After 6 months the phone is yours to keep anyway. 

Cost of cancelling or upgrading early will be Monthly Fee x Months Remaining, pro-rata to the nearest whole day, of contract term - 4%. You can text INFO to 85075 to find out the exact figure as of now.

@Han1709  To pay of the contract will mean to pay of the handset also.     EE will not take back the device just because you longer want to pay for it.
