EE phone contract

sjh101

I'm coming to the end of my contract with EE. I range them up yesterday to ask what I would need to pay to cancel my contract early. I was quoted £60.38. (My contract ends on24th march and it's £33 per month. I asked them what the earliest date to cancel without paying a fee would be and they said 30 days notice so 24th Feb. Is that right or will I be hit with an unexpected bill/ half bill in the final month?

I want to cancel as early as poss before my actual end date without paying a fee. As my plan is to sign up to another contract through a third party website (with the same phone company EE) which I plan to do once I have given my 30 days notice for my existing one. I just don't want any unexpected payments coming out in march.

If I sign up to my new contract on 24th Feb then my first bill should be in march. Am I likely to get some form of bill or even half bill in march from the soon to be old contract? I'm a bit confused as to how it all works

Thanks

Give notice on 24th February. Some networks charge a full month on the next bill date, then credit the extra back after it ends (if so, make sure you then claim it back). EE sometimes try to add a (in that case) small ETF; if so you will need to argue that doesn't apply and get it back too.

Why wait to get the other contract? I always have several running simultaneously.
