Pay-monthly phone contracts, SIM only plans on 1-month, 12-month and 24-month terms, add-ons such as streaming subscriptions, and pay-as-you-go.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my number if I move to EE?
Yes. Text PAC to 65075 from your current phone to get a free switching code, then give it to EE. Your number normally moves within one working day.
Is EE coverage the same as EE?
EE is the network itself, so coverage is EE's own.
Will EE credit check me?
Pay-monthly plans usually involve a credit check; pay-as-you-go does not. CompareDirect is not a credit broker and does not run credit checks.
