EEs price increases

scotgirl

I've been doing my research, found a good deal on a long awaited new phone and was ready to press buy tonight.

The phone is with EE (im currently a tesco customer) but they male you agree when buying to agree to price increases during the life of the contract.

It just doesn't sit well with me to sign up to a 2 year contract but have no idea if the price will stay the same. I'd rather stay with the security of tesco but they are £8 more a month.

What's everyone's thoughts on this? Would you go with EE?

Its unlikely to go up £8 a month in just 2 years.

There's a calculator tool here from EE:

As you'd be joining them as a new customer your tariff will already include this years' adjustment.

Everything goes up and pensions go up by just over £1 a week.

Obviously untrue. Some things go down and some networks don't increase their prices.

Everything ? Mr Osbourne disagrees, those working getting Housing Benefit contribution with no tax credit income have a freeze, not even a contribution to the value of inflation for 4 years towards rent, 2020, my rent rises 3% per year.

It'll probably go up by between 1% and 2%, it was 1.3% this year iirc, it's not really something to worry about and it'll only add pennies to most contracts.

Old minimum expired contracts running month to month on EE taken early 2014 dont rise, includes Orangee and T-Mobilee. Different T&C.

Vodafone used to increase it 50p then anotehr increase to round it up to the nearest £ to make the bill easier.

I can live with a ££.50 bill doesnt take any effort to work it out thanks.

1 phone moved away from Voda, maybe another 2 to follow if they dont offer better deals?

Once we are no longer on Voda then a few family members will follow also. I wonder if they have more customers now compared to last year?

Only if they are masochists. Vodafone do not increase their prices any more and I haven't found Talkmobile doing so either (they use the Vodafone network).

As the OP is looking at signing a new contract with EE they might struggle to find an EE contract on the terms before 2014 without the use of a Tardis...
