Has anyone got any really good deals/freebies out of EE?

I will be renewing mine & my girlfriends contract with EE & a pair of new iPhones (i know Samsung people - i know ;)) which is the sort of thing I cant imagine they get everyday.
My plan is to go through disconnections.
The better half wants me to see if I can get some shopping vouchers as part of the deal :eek: what do we think?

    can you manage with your old handsets for a while? , or even buy new ones ?


    life mobile (owned by EE)


    true MSE , via uswitch , 1500 mins unlimited txt and 1g data , uk call centre answer quickly , ,, £6 a month on a rolling contract you can stop https://lifemobile.co.uk/Basket/SimChoice/89


    buying a new "phone" + 12 x £6 per month (£72 per year) is a hell of a lot cheaper than a fixed contract with a handset

    Shopping vouchers ? how about just saving a whack of cash instead ?


    You might get some discount for 2 contracts, but none for the iphones and less discounts on your contracts wanting iphones, go in prepared with deals the other networks are offering though.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    If you really need "a pair of new iPhones" and don't have more important priorities to spend money on, shop around first and if/when disconnections contact you make sure that what they offer is really better than what you can get elsewhere (unlikely).

    If you want the newest models (6S), you're not likely to get anything.
    They are the most in demand handsets going, so network providers have no need to offer potential customers incentives.

    How about getting her a new one only ?

    In a years time you can have her old one. Assuming you are still together lol
  • Just get a new 6S for my daughter from Mobile Phones Direct then got EE to transfer the number after they showed no interest on getting anywhere near their offer.

    I saved over £100 rather than just renewing via EE and it was all surprisingly painless. I also mangaed to sell my daughters old 5S for £145 via Fonebank, just waiting for the £30 cashback from Quidco now to top the deal off!!

    But then they wouldn't match. Which would be social death, obviously...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I was thinking it was an advantage.

    You wouldn't pick up the wrong one
