Prison, remand, deportation
Prison, remand, deportation
If you’re in prison, you’ll need to send us a letter on letter-headed paper from the prison, a solicitor or police court of justice, including official confirmation of your sentence or that you’re on remand awaiting trial.
If you’ve had a change to your residency status in the UK, we'll need a copy of the letter from the Home Office or UK Immigration, confirming the change.
Armed Forces contract suspension
Armed Forces contract suspension
If you or a family member is employed in the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force or as any other type of military personnel and are posted overseas, you can suspend your pay monthly contract for up to 12 months without charge.
How to freeze your contract
You’ll need a contract suspension form from your unit’s Welfare Officer.
Once we've received your request, we’ll text you to confirm when the freeze will start.
Remember
You’ll need to have a Direct Debit set up for your device and no outstanding balance on your account.
What happens if I come back earlier than planned or my posting is extended?
Give us a call on 150 from an EE phone in the UK or 07953 966 250 from any phone. We'll be able to reactivate your account or tell you how to extend your suspension.
Will I be able to use my phone while my contract is suspended?
Yes, you’ll still have full use of your handset but you won’t be able to use your minutes, data or texts that are included in your pay monthly contract.
Can I temporally lift the freeze on my contract?
Unfortunately you won’t be able to reactivate for a short period – for instance if you’re on leave. If you return home permanently or on a long-term basis, call 150 from an EE phone in the UK or 07953 966 250 from any phone to reactivate your account.
