Why would you sign up for a contract when PAYG Saver plan is cheaper?

[EABowden]

Hi there

I was looking to join EE, and the best deal I can get online is £16 a month for 25gb on a 24 month contract that'll go up 16% in March to £18.50.

But on saver PAYG I can get 75gb for £13.50. 

I can't find anything you DON'T get on the saver plan, so why would I sign up for a 24 month contract? What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance

Speed! PAYG SIMs are capped at 25 Meg. Contract SIMs are capped at at least 100 Meg & many are uncapped.

With PAYG you get Free Boosts every 2 months & Data Rollover that you  don't get with contracts.

@EABowden  1, A cellular watch will not work with PAYG.  
2, Limited roaming data 25Gb as opposed to 50Gb.  

3, No 5G+ if you want that,  

4, no eSIM support.  

5, Flat rate fee to call customer support.  

6, No unlimited data if you have EE broadbands 

I’m sure there’s more

It's all swings & roundabouts! It v. much depends on what's important to you.
