Maybe I will do that.
I just want a new sim deal now like £20 for 40gb they are still quoting me £25 new customer price after being with them for 10 years+
Will be purchasing the iPhone XS sim free next Friday too.

It's not just about length of time with EE, it's about spend. They combine the two and get a 'score' which enables them to apply discounts. My deal should cost £25 but I got it for £20 - my girlfriend tried and failed to do the same despite being with EE for 10+ years. The best thing you can do is threaten to leave with retentions. You're just chasing your tail otherwise IMO.

I pay £6 a month for a SIM-ONLY Max plan with 33gb data and unlimited minutes and texts. I’ve been with them for years and got this deal via the Retentions team at the end of last year during their Black Friday season.

I've since re calculated -£95 U.K. pounds deficit to pay off if I were to pay i phone 8 contract.
And a little something in return with small saving 10-20 pounds per month if I order xs.
Decisions, this would involve dropping o2 as mobile provider to switch over to sky mobile.

I'll need to consider over weekend and decide ifI can live without my i phone for a few days or if I should wait until xs can be delivered fast in UK-not sure yet, is xs actually released for order yet or is it pre orders at this stage.

I need a cheap sim plan for my GOLD iPhone XS Max please don't tell me to go to three uk the speeds are like 56k here in London town.

EE only offer me £17 today on the 40gb usage plan+unlimited should I take it or decline it.
What do you think

Can't understand why cellular calling isn't available from other carriers. I'm sure that stops sales for :apple: in the U.K.

Infrastructure.. the other networks just don’t have the infrastructure to support esims across their network nationally. Do roll it out across the country would mean some significant investment from carriers for what is a very small, niche market.. cost vs benefit and return on investment is small for a lot to bother

Anybody ordered the Apple official cases? Might get the silicone when going out etc

Always have at least two cases

Yup ordered the stone to match the watch. Picking it up in store Friday. If you work somewhere that offer access to corporate perks or similar, there’s 10% off them. £4 or so

You'd have thought a lease could be agreed.

EE have weird pricing plans at the moment my work pal spends nearly £70 extra on his contract each month he should be paying £25 a month with 40gb data been with EE for years he phoned up on Wednesday to renew his sim deal only contract.
The best they offered him is £22 40gb data a pathetic 3 pounds off he ask for his PAC o2 offered him a big 60gb a month unlimited minutes and text new customer for £30.

I know this may be a silly question, but is the xs max bigger than the 7plus?
I can’t find the exact specs for both phones to compare? I know you get more screen on the xs max, but is the actual unit bigger too?
