hi all just wondering what to do advice would be greatly appreciated
I'm coming to the end of my 24month contract with ee,
I've called them twice now about a simo deal, and the best they will do is 20 gb data for £12 on a 12 month contract I think that's bad deal considering I've been a customer for years with multiple lines on my account ans especially as Vodafone are doing a great deal for same data but £8 month. what should I do guys.

sorted byEE Know they have the best network. They know most people will be willing to pay for that. There's very little you can do to make them change their mind apart from keep calling back and hoping you get lucky.
Remember that the Vodafone deal is a Basics plan. So no 5G, No Roaming etc. You would be best off going with Vodafone's sister brand TalkMobile who do 30GB for £7.95 a month and support 5G, WiFi Calling, VoLTE and even free EU Roaming if you did move elsewhere.
The other options are to move to one of the networks that piggyback on EE. Service still won't be quite as good though:
Plusnet 15GB £10 / 30GB £12
UW Unlimited £18
1p Mobile 10GB £10 / 50GB £15 (edited)
I had 4 contracts with EE and am moving them as and when I can, 2 to go.
Called them to match a competitors deal, which they seemed to do until i read the online contract they wanted me to consent to.
It was a 24m contract at the same price per month but the handset part of the contract was for 36m.
At no point in the call was this mentioned, very underhanded me thinks.
My advice is to move to another provider. remember the pac to keep your number. (edited)
Still waiting for someone to challenge why the unlimited data is limited to 100GB.
I switched to Vodafone at the start of the year, trying to save myself a few quid. Was with them for 5 days because their signal was shocking.
Moved back to Three on a 5G SIM only 12 month unlimited everything for £19 a month I saw on moneysupermarket.
I use my phone a lot as a hotspot since I don't have home broadband.
Now I can get a signal inside of lifts and places where I couldn't get one last year, I assume it's the 5G, seriously can't fault it.
I would say move over to an alternative network on a monthly rolling contract and then just keep a look out for the EE deals that come up on here.
I did this in November, moved to ID mobile. Was only on there for 10 days and one of those hot EE sim deals popped up.
Then you just get in there
If you have bt internet then you can get a 20gb sim for £9 per month (EE)
Will EE price match this if you quote it to them?
try it…
I know 3 get a bad rap but I've been with them for nearly a decade with no issues at all.
I've just moved last week from a full phone contract expiring to sim only.
Got 20gb for £7 a month for 24 months.
They are literally unusable in some areas. In my area their 4G Network is so congested that you often can't even manage a VoLTE call without significant disruption (calls falling silent, longer and longer voice delay, interference, and calls completely dropping)
In other areas I have seen more than gigabit speeds via their 5G Network.
I am allowed to transfer 100gb from my unlimited line to family members through data gifting which is more than enough for everyone.
I'm due upgrades on all my lines but I'm scared if I ring them they'll see their mistake and take it off me.
But they don't offer much in the way of discount, because (in many places, not necessarily where you are, of course) their signal (and data speed) is head and shoulders above the other networks, and they know it. Where I am, EE is easily worth double the monthly cost of another network.
