Upgrade phone only?

Al212 · ‎07-09-2025

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade but EE offer only "sim only" or "phone and plan". Can I upgrade my phone and keep the same plan/contact?

Or can I buy a new phone from somewhere else and put my sim in a new phone?

An Upgrade necessitates a new plan with EE on one of the available price plans with a new minimum term.

EE do offer SIM Free Phones however which can be found under "Shop" in the EE App. On these you may have the option to either add them to your bill interest-free over 11 months, or apply for EE Finance to spread the cost over a longer term.

Purchasing a device this way, or from somewhere else, will allow you to maintain your same plan - just need to insert your current SIM.
