EE trying to rip me off again....

Used to be with Plusnet for my mobile, great service for £6 a month.

Plusnet then advised they were dropping their mobile service and changed me over to EE, who kindly decided to put my cost up by 40 odd percent for the privilege.

Now renewal time and EE have cordially invited me to stay with them for another year and would be happy to put my prices up by another 35%, so now I would be paying more than double I was paying for plusnet a year or so ago.

Decided to change to Lebera (Vodaphone) for less than I was paying for Plusnet…..hope I will not regret it?

    If you get a decent signal with Vodafone you should be ok otherwise try 1p Mobile or Mozillion if you want to stay with the EE network.

    Have you checked your network coverage? The only other concern is whether your phone is on the list of WiFi calling support.

    Same thing happened to me re Plusnet then to EE although they did give me unlimited data (which I don't need) because I have EE broadband. I was wondering about Spusu but read about problems receiving one time pass codes from banks etc. Does anyone know if that's still an issue?t

    Very similar experience. Moved to Lebara about a year ago, as did each of my family (so 4 customers lost EE!). Absolutely no problem. Cheaper, great coverage, good customer service. Just remember to port your number, which was easy. No regrets

    If you need the EE signal, then 1p mobile is a good option.

    ..Hi all, and thanks for the feedback. Lebera is a monthly contract, so if any probs I will cancel and give 1p mobile a shot!!!
