Hello, last week I signed up for an offer within my EE PAYG account for a monthly deal at £20 (unlimited calls, texts & data).
My plan was activated but I changed my mind.
I called EE customer services and asked for my plan to be cancelled and to have it reverted back to PAYG.
Realistically how long does this take? I called on Saturday and as of writing this message, it’s still active as a monthly plan.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Thanks for the update @NelsonDog, I'm glad to hear that your account has reverted now!
If you had a bill produced in the time that the number was on contract, the payment will go towards this, but you'll then get a revised final bill around a week later.
This final bill will confirm the account was cancelled, and you'll be refunded back to your card anything that was overpaid.

Hey there @NelsonDog, welcome to the EE Community 😊
If you cancel a new contract within your 14 day cooling off period, we recommend that it'll usually revert back to the previous plan within 2-3 working days.
Just to be sure, when you requested cancellation, did you specifically mention you'd like this back on pay as you go?

Hi Peter
My SIM was reverted back to PAYG today. I made a payment using my debit card when it was temporarily a pay monthly plan and did not use the phone other than call 150. That payment has not been carried over as PAYG credit. Will I be refunded that payment?

Sorry to reactivate this thread but I thought it was best to post here rather than create a new one.
In the EE app my account is showing as closed and I’m unable to see my PAYG account.
Will this eventually change back on its own or do I need to contact customer services to fix this?

You'll need to call customers services for them to remove the closed Pay Monthly Account from your EE ID. You then may need to re-link your PAYG account to the app, but this should be self-serve.
