Move to EE Mobile from legacy brands

This article explains what's involved in moving a legacy pay monthly or pay as you go mobile account to a new EE Mobile plan or pack, including how to manage it and what features are available.

About legacy plans or packs

When we talk about legacy mobile plans, we're referring to older EE plans that we no longer sell.

For pay monthly plans, they're all listed on this Terms and Conditions page for your reference.

For pay as you go packs, they're all listed by date, i.e. when you bought your pack first, on this Terms and Conditions page for your reference.

Moving a pay monthly mobile to EE

If you have 30 days or less left on your legacy monthly contract you can move to an EE monthly contract for free. We’ll take care of everything and move you over with no hassle – you can even keep your old phone number.

To move to EE:

Even if you're not at the end of your contract, you could still be eligible for an early upgrade at a discounted fee. To check if you're eligible: text UP to 150 from your legacy  mobile.

When you move to EE, you'll need to make some changes.

 

Direct Debit or payment details

If you upgrade from a legacy brand account, your Direct Debit date will have to change for security reasons. However, you can amend it in the future to a more convenient date.

You can use the same credit or debit card to pay – you'll need to fill in a short form to register the card with your new account.

 

Voicemail

As you're moving to a different network, you'll need to record a new voicemail greeting. Unfortunately, you also won't be able to keep any saved voicemails from your legacy brand account. Sorry, Caller Tunes and Family Booster won’t transfer either.

 

Your new SIM

Your old phone number should be transferred automatically to your new EE SIM. However, if you’re moving from a legacy brand, you’ll need to text SWITCH to 3333 from your old legacy brand phone before you insert your new EE SIM into a new EE device.

 

Your account and bills

You can view your bills and manage your account on EE online.

About pay as you go packs

On EE we've created packs instead of plans - a pack is a bundle of allowances (data, minutes and texts) that you can buy using your credit and is cheaper than being on standard pay as you go rates.

Packs can last for seven or 30 days and they renew automatically as long as you have enough credit to pay for it so you don't need to worry about running out of allowances.

When you move to EE, your legacy brand packs, plans and rewards will be replaced with the EE pay as you go pack of your choice. Calls to UK mobile or landline numbers are included in your EE pack.

Top up and manage your EE pay as you go mobile

When you move, how you top up and manage your account will change. Your legacy packs or plans may also change but you can get new pay as you go packs with EE.

Top up:

Once you’ve moved to EE pay as you go, you can top up by logging on to EE. Just add your credit or debit card details – for security reasons, we can’t move them over from your legacy brand account.
