Paying to much for contract

Options
Hi,


Wonder if someone can help. I currently pay £70 pm for my contract, I don't need everything that is on it and when I have called EE they have said they only way to reduce this is to cut my data but this only saves £2?


Can anyone help?

  • I'm sure lots of people can help. And the the answers would run to pages without any specific information on exactly what you do need.
  • I don't understand?

    Are you still within contract? If not, you can reduce it considerably.
  • I am still within contract until feb 16, I have noticed this includes my 1pad I stupidly attached to it which I cant do anything about until nov 16.

    Neither do I. I have no idea about anything to do with your existing contract except that you want to reduce the cost.

    The likelihood, is probably not. You took out a 24 month (?) contract with an ipad and presumably fancy phone (iphone?). The high monthly cost covers the initial layout cost of the 2 devices, as you have likely realised, they are not "free"!

    Visit an EE shop and they can advise if there is a point in the contract when you can reduce your allowances / monthly cost. This used to be commonplace, but unfortunately, not so much anymore, as phones are becoming more expensive, so the costs need to be recouped.

    The only really solution here is to sell the phone and tablet, use some of the cash to buy a basic phone to put your sin in, then put the rest of the money towards your monthly charge.

    Without sounding patronising, please take this as a lesson, NOT to take out another expensive contract. When EE come calling with the offer of a non cost effective, early upgrade, say no to the shiny new handset andget a SIM only deal for £10 a month!

    As I sit here seething in my perpetual anger toward a product, I realise that you apparently can indeed polish a turd!

    I have never proactively pushed the iPhone range and really hoped I would have something positive to look forward to when the latest addition, the iPhone 6s, was made available for pre-order this week.

    Unfortunately, it looks like another twelve months will have to go by before I can give Apple another chance to "wow" me, as the latest offering, yet again, falls well short in terms of tech and expansion capabilities, compared to the android market.

    It looks the same, It will, I'm sure, feel the same but remarkably will only "work" the same, and compete with, the Samsung Galaxy S4. It is, in fact, inferior to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and I am reluctant, if not ashamed on Apple's behalf, to even mention it in the same paragraph as my own Compact Z3!

    I am not a "know it all", far from it. So please, I know you are out there, Apple fans, iPhone users, give me your feedback, bring my confidence in this product line to life.

    What do you love about your device and why should I want one over something that appears to be 3 years in to Apple's future, right now and at HALF the price?

    Hi nathan, I see you are a newbie. Please can you start your own thread, as this post doesn't seem to be relevant to the OP.
