Do I need to cancel my old EE account?

Options
I now have a new lebara mobile account and my number has been successfully transferred to Lebara.

Do I need to cancel my old EE account?

Thanks,

    I would check that it's stopped if only to ensure you don't continue to pay them accidentally.

    Your contract should cancel automatically once your number is ported and your sim deactivated. Your account should be deactivated if you have no other ee contracts. This may take a month.

    I have a land line with ee which I intend to change to Now Broadband when this is sorted. They are paid for on different bank accounts.

    Do you use the same email address and login for both products? If so you should see that the mobile has disappeared. If not then the account for your mobile should show no products then eventually it won't recognise your account login.

    You shouldn't need to do anything else, just make sure you get your final bill and it is settled. Then give it a couple of months and cancel the DD if it doesn't disappear on its own.
