How long does my insurance last?

How long does my insurance last?

Clone Phone Fully Loaded and Tablet Care will continue for a maximum period of 60 months (five years), unless you cancel your insurance or contract, or upgrade your contract. When you are near the end of the 60-month period, we’ll contact you to let you know.

Your Clone Phone Fully Loaded and Tablet Care will also be automatically cancelled if you upgrade your contract or move to a SIM Only plan. If you would like to insure your new device, you will need to repurchase insurance. If you move to a SIM Only plan, we may be able to offer you insurance on your device.

To discuss your options:
  1.  

    call 150 from your EE phone
  2.  

    or call 07953 966 250 from any other phone

If you bought Clone Phone Fully Loaded and Tablet Care at a different time to your new connection or upgrade, there is a three-month minimum term at the start, unless you cancel within the 14-day cooling off period.

If you want to cancel after 14 days but before three months you'll have to pay the minimum term.

Otherwise, you can cancel your Clone Phone Fully Loaded and Tablet Care at any time with no additional fees or charges. We will refund the part of the monthly premium paid, from the date we receive your cancellation instructions.

The EE Tablet Care product will be active for a period of five years. After this period you will need to purchase the product again. When you near the end of the 60-month period we will contact you to see if you would like to benefit from all the features the product has to offer.

How do I make a complaint about insurance?

How do I make a complaint about insurance?

Our aim is to get it right first time, every time. If you have a complaint we will try to resolve it straight away. If we are unable to, we will confirm we have received your complaint within five working days and do our best to resolve the problem within four weeks. If we cannot, we will let you know when an answer may be expected.

If we have not resolved the situation within eight weeks, we will issue you with information about the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) which offers a free, independent complaint resolution service.

If you have a complaint:
  1.  

    call 150 from your EE phone
  2.  

    call 07953 966 250 from any other phone
  3.  

    or write to:

    Customer Relations
    EE Care Services
    PO Box 374
    Southampton
    SO30 2PT

You have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman, free of charge – but you must do so within six months of the date of the final response letter.

If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and therefore will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if the Ombudsman believes that the delay was as a result of exceptional circumstances.

You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service in the following ways:

  1.  

    website: financial-ombudsman.org.uk
  2.  

    phone: 0800 023 4567 / 0300 123 9123
  3.  

    email: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk
  4.  

    post: Financial Ombudsman Service
             Exchange Tower
             London
             E14 9SR

Using our complaints procedure or contacting the Financial Ombudsman Service does not affect your legal rights.

The European Commission has an online dispute resolution service for consumers who have a complaint about a product or service bought online. If you choose to submit your complaint this way it will be forwarded to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

To access the Online Dispute Resolution Service:
  1.  

    visit ec.europa.eu/odr
  2.  

    and quote our e-mail address: CustomerResolutionTeam@eecareservices.co.uk

Alternatively, you can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service directly.

Clone Phone app deactivation

Clone Phone app deactivation

On 30 April 2016, the Clone Phone app was deactivated. This will have affected customers who have Clone Phone Lite, Clone Phone Loaded and Clone Phone Fully Loaded.

What does this means for my data?

If you wish to continue backing up your data, you'll need to find a new storage solution. Below are links to some storage solutions available elsewhere. Although these storage solutions aren’t associated with EE directly, they are all reputable storage solution brands:

  1.  

    Lookout
  2.  

    iCloud
  3.  

    Dropbox
  4.  

    Google Drive

What does this mean for my bill?

  1.  

    if you have Clone Phone Loaded you'll no longer see the ‘Clone Phone Loaded’ charge on your bill
  2.  

    if you have Clone Phone Fully Loaded, you'll continue to see ‘Clone Phone Fully Loaded’ on your bill, as the insurance remains on your account – the only thing affected is the app
  3.  

    as a Clone Phone Fully Loaded customer, you’ll already have access to the Premium Version of Lookout which provides 2GB of storage, all you need to do is download and activate the Lookout app

If you have any other questions or concerns, please:

  1.  

    call 150 from your EE phone
  2.  

    call 07953 966 250 from any other phone
