EE's Prices Keep Climbing.
Your Bills Don't Have To.
EE is the UK's largest mobile network — but also one of the most expensive. Families who switch through SaveFirst save an average of £56/month across all household bills, including mobile.
Why EE Customers Are Overpaying
EE consistently tops speed tests — but they also top the price charts. EE's mobile plans cost 15–25% more than equivalent plans on other networks, and their annual price rises are baked into every contract.
Here's what's happening right now:
- EE raised prices by CPI + 3.9% in March 2025 — adding £2–5/month to most bills
- Their plans cost significantly more than Three, Vodafone, or MVNO alternatives for the same data
- Speed advantages are marginal for everyday use — you won't notice the difference scrolling social media
- EE's broadband bundle adds cost without meaningful savings over buying separately

"I was paying EE £42 a month for unlimited data I never used more than 8GB of. SaveFirst got me a plan that actually fits what I use, plus sorted my energy and broadband. Saving £67 a month total. I should have done this ages ago."

Common Questions About Switching From EE
EE has the widest 5G coverage and fastest average speeds in the UK. However, for everyday use — calls, texts, social media, streaming — the speed difference between EE and other networks is negligible. What isn't negligible is the 15-25% price premium EE charges for it.
Yes, absolutely. When you switch from EE, you request a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) which transfers your number to your new provider. We handle this as part of the switch — you keep your number, no interruption.
If you're on a device plan with EE, the remaining handset payments continue separately from your airtime contract. You can switch your airtime plan to a cheaper provider while continuing to pay off your phone. We'll explain exactly how this works during your audit.
Yes, completely free. We're paid by the provider when you switch — you never pay us anything. If we can't save you money, nobody pays anything and you stay exactly where you are.
The Bottom Line
EE has the fastest network in the UK. But you're paying a premium for speed you don't notice in daily use. If you're not a mobile gamer or constantly downloading large files, EE's speed advantage isn't worth the cost.
A free SaveFirst audit takes 2 minutes and covers all your bills — mobile, energy, and broadband. If EE is genuinely worth the premium, we'll tell you. For most families, it isn't.
There's literally no downside. The only risk is waiting another month.
