The downside is that I am likely to lose my mobile number (which I've had for 15 years). Obviously I do not want to lose it. I asked if I could get a PAC number to switch back to Three but was told it doesn't work this way when cancelling a contract upfront.

If the cancellation isn't already in progress could you do the following?
1. Call EE for PAC
2. Join Three as a new customer using the PAC as you do
3. Cancel EE on Tuesday

It's tight but might be doable.

I even found a 3 signal over most of Skye for calls & texts - but no 3g or any data to go with it!

Thanks Kensiko for your constructive comment - I did ring EE. They cannot help directly as the contract is signed through Carphone Warehouse so the decision lies with them. What I have found out about is the EE-wifi offer for those with limited coverage but it doesn't apply for phones bought through carphone warehouse, although carphone warehouse apparently says it does http://lowdown.carphonewarehouse.com/just-in/news/ee-introduces-wi-fi-calling/ However it's not working on my iphone 6 (yet). Thank you again.

Losing your number is a very cheap get out and well worth it to escape from EE. They don't get voted 'worst mobile network' for nothing you know. Throw in the Craphone !!!!!house connection as well and I'd be very relieved if I was you.

You've had a lucky escape.
