Of course, with millions of happy customers, there are likely thousands of unhappy ones. And if that’s you, you’ll want to know how to cancel your EE contract and be on your way.

Different ways to cancel EE

Unfortunately, EE hasn’t grown to become the biggest mobile network provider in the UK by letting their customers go so easily. Quite the opposite in fact, as when you speak to one of their representative on the phone, they’ll do everything possible to keep you on board. This is why they’ve made calling them the only option to cancel your EE contract.

Ee Are Quite Proud Of Their 5g Network

Why do people want to cancel

If you live in the UK, you’ve likely heard of EE. With more than 29 million customers, they are the UK’s largest mobile network provider. In a short 10 years, they’ve massively expanded their network, with a new focus on the next generation 5G network rolling out now. The 5G battle is so hot that adverts are running wild. Despite EE’s fiercely competitive nature, the millions of customers they’ve acquired aren’t all happy. In fact, many have chosen to cancel their EE contract to switch to a different service provider.

One of the most cited reasons people cancel EE is just that – another service provider is offering a better service. There are plenty of mobile network providers out there in the UK, and if you think you’ve found a better service – by all means, cancel EE and move on. Nothing should be stopping you.

Another reason is the service and network stability provided by EE is subpar. Sure, their marketing is highly effective and widespread, but when it comes down to it, all that really matters is whether the service lives up to your expectations. And if it falls short, as it has for many of EE’s customers, it’s time to cancel.

With quite a few outages as well over recent years, this is a similar reason as to thousands of customers have already cancelled their Three contract and moved on to another service.
