Massive EE Price Increase - Can I do anything?

GrubbyGirl_2

I got the Lebara deal through MSE at £1.75 for 6 months then £4.90 a month. Not had any problems at all in fact the signal here (via vodafone) has been better than the old O2 one where most of the time I had to use wifi calling at home

The annual rises at EE are outrageous.

I was happy to stick with them when the price rises were reasonable.

If you don't need some of the premium services (eg. 5G standalone) then move. My wife went to 1p Mobile, and I'm joining her.

I was with Plusnet, then got moved to EE…got ripped off, so moved to Lebera. Been with them 4 months now and not noticed any difference in service…

What other options were available would determine how unreasonable this is. While they have the right to change your plan with the required notice (as you do to leave them and go elsewhere) if there is a current plan on offer more suited to your usage and they are auto shifting you to this higher plan instead when your usage does not justify it, that would be wrong. But most would simply request that alternative plan if available rather than filing a complaint about the poor handling of the migration.

I'd agree that 1pMobile would be a good alternative as they use the EE network and they don't keep upping their prices

The SIM Sherpa website that does reviews of all the networks rates them highly too if that gives you any reassurance. I pay £5 per month for unlimited calls and texts plus 5gb of data and roaming in Europe

I have just had a text saying the same thing, rising from £17 a month to £20, I’ve been planning on moving but never got round to it, this is the motivation i need to find a better deal.
