Contract ended now I want to swap to PAYG

Hi,

My contract finished a couple of months ago and I’m still paying £60 ish a month just for the sim.

My phone is still only 2 years old so not bothered about swapping it so I just want to swap over to PAYG. I want to keep my number but don’t want a sim with a contract just so that I’m not tied in if I want a new phone in the future.

The EE website won’t allow me to use the upgrade feature to change onto PAYG only to upgrade to a new phone contract or a sim contract.

Is there a way to do this online.

I can’t even get to see sim PAYG deals once I’ve logged in. It’s as though they really don’t want me to see them.

Thanks

Not online. You need to call CS & cancel your contract by giving 30 days notice & at the same time ask for it to be moved to PAYG.  You keep your SIM & no. ; just the plan on it is changed to PAYG.

A SIM-only plan does not prevent you from doing this. If you change to a SM-only plan, you can still upgrade back to a phone-plan at any time.

The minimum contractual term ties you only to EE's network, not to the specific plan.

How many mins, text and data do you get by default when they migrate you to PAYG?
