Want to leave EE early - know the charges, but any way to avoid them?
My contract is up on April 2024. The service has been weirdly terrible in my part of London. Can't wait to leave. I would just take the £70 hit and leave early But is there any way to swerve these costs, arguing about poor service level? Or get bought out by a new provider somehow? Long shot but thought i'd ask anyway!

Ditching landline
Seriously considering ditching the landline and relying on mobile. As I’ve always used PAYG sim, and used house internet for most things in the past I have no idea how much GB per month I’ll need on the mobile. I will need the mobile data on 24/7, about 30 mins phone calls daily, 1 hour social media daily, 30 mins email,…

Anyone had any experience with talkmobile
My contract with EE is up and I have found a good deal with talkmobile. £7.95 a month. I know they use the vodaphone network which has good coverage but I'm cautious that as I've been with EE for a long time I might notice a difference in speeds. Anyone have experience with them?

Switched from Vodafone to ID mobile 6 weeks ago.

Lebara PAYG?
My MSE Lebara deal has reached the end of it's 49p deal so I've turned off 'auto renewal' and they tell me that I will be charged "standard PAYG rates" *If* I make any calls, or use any data, will these simply be charged to my card that was associated with auto-renewal or would I need to 'top up' first?

contract tends to be a bad deal for me, should I avoid it always?
I got a contract a while ago I think it's maybe 5GB 3 years £10 a month.. But then my experience has been that after 2 years or so, you can get 10GB £10 a month, PAYG. No new phone with it 'cos I don't want to pay over £10 a month. So is contract always a bad deal eg if not getting a new phone with it as is the case with…
