How do I cancel my contract with EE?

You'll be able to get Switching Information from us and you'll also be able to get a PAC or STAC code via text, your online account or by phone.

We’ll always tell you when you’re able to leave us or cancel a service free of charge. For example, at the end of your contract or if we make a change to your contract that’s not to your benefit.

If you're considering switching to another provider, you can find out if you have any charges to pay if you're terminating your contract before your minimum term ends. 

To get switching information:

Once you've contacted us, we'll provide you with information and send a text message confirming any charges. The total charge for ending your contract early will be made up of a Remaining Contract Charge and any remaining Add to Plan charges.

If you choose to terminate your agreement with us before your minimum term ends, a cancellation charge will apply which is known as a Remaining Contract Charge.

You must pay everything you owe if you terminate your agreement with us whether you're just cancelling your contract or whether you're switching to a new provider.
