End of Contract

Hi
I'm coming to the end of my contract with EE, and was looking at getting the new IPhone 12, but here's the issue I have, if I get an upgrade I'm paying more than I would if I just went for an additional line on the old contract and kept both phones.
What's stopping me then waiting until the old contract has officially expired (there's about a month left on the contract) and moves onto a running contract to then cancel that contract altogether, keeping the contract going that was the additional line. Would EE then increase the monthly cost of the 'additional line'

Your contract never expires. Only the minimum term does. It only ends once you have given and served notice. Do nothing and it continues.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

No the only thing I don't know what would happen to your phone number as you would have a new number on the new handset.0
