Hi, It looks like I am going to get disconnected with EE as I am struggling to pay my bill, but if the worse case happens, will I still be able to use my iphone 6s with WiFi? or will EE cut WiFi off as well?

    All depends on where the WiFi is coming from. 
    Your broadband router.? Yes if your provider isn't cutting you of for the inability to pay that as well.

    Somewhere else? If so, where is the WiFi signal coming from?

    PN router and broadband contract will supply free wifi to your phone .
    EE lose network calls texts and data both in and out .
    You can make  phone calls and video calls via whatsapp over wifi .

    Yes, your home WiFi (and any other open or free WiFi networks) will still work with your phone, only your mobile data/calls/texts will be cut off.

    Thanks for letting me know you 2, I will just have to buy a cheap phone till I get into work and I can afford a better phone, I will just use this iphone 6s when I am inside my flat and the one I am buying I will use outside.

    There is no need to buy a new phone. Get a pay as you go sim and use that in your iPhone 6s

    You could do worse than the 4GB/unl/unl 30 day mates rates contract with Plusnet.  If your phone is locked to EE the Plusnet SIM will work without unlocking.
  • I'm guessing a iPhone 6s is past it's minimum term. 
    You could ask them to convert you to EE PAYG and you'll retain your number.

    Remembering to turn off mobile data so stop it eating all your credit.

    This iphone 6s is not unlocked, EE won't unlock it so I can't buy a sim.
