EE introduces new 48-month repayment options through Flex Pay
Sharon Meadows, Managing Director, Marketing & Commercial, EE
For many of us, our smartphone is one of the most important pieces of technology we own. Whether it's keeping in touch with family and friends, managing our finances, capturing memories or streaming entertainment on the go, we rely on our devices every day.
Having access to the right device shouldn't feel out of reach. Yet as technology continues to evolve, affordability remains an important consideration for many households. As cost-of-living pressures continue, many people are taking steps to better manage their household budgets, with some cutting back on non-essential spending and others shopping around more carefully before making purchases.
That's why we're expanding EE Flex Pay, giving customers greater freedom to choose how they pay for the devices they want. Customers can now choose from 12, 24, 36 or 48-month repayment terms on eligible smartphones, making it easier to access the latest technology in a way that works for their individual circumstances.
Introducing New 48-Month Smartphone Repayment Options
The introduction of a new 48-month device agreement through EE Flex Pay gives customers another way to spread the cost of a smartphone and keep their monthly payments lower.
Whether they're looking to upgrade to the latest flagship device, better manage their monthly spending or find a payment option that works around their circumstances, the expanded range of repayment terms gives customers greater control over how they pay.
What is EE Flex Pay?
EE Flex Pay separates the cost of the handset from the airtime plan, enabling customers to spread the cost of their device over a timeframe that works for them.
Customers who choose a 48-month device agreement continue to benefit from a separate 24-month airtime plan and can settle their remaining device balance at any time.
Even more ways to save on your next smartphone
The expansion of Flex Pay is part of EE's wider commitment to helping customers access great technology in a way that works for them.
Customers can also make upgrading more affordable through EE Trade In, turning old devices into cash that can be put towards a new phone.
The service provides an instant quote, free postage and fast payment, making it easier than ever to give old technology a second life.
For customers looking to save money while making a more sustainable choice, EE's refurbished smartphone range offers high-quality Apple and Samsung devices with pay monthly plans or device agreements and airtime plans. Every refurbished device undergoes a rigorous 53-point inspection and comes with an extended warranty.
Putting customers in control
Whether it's choosing a shorter 12-month repayment term to pay off a device sooner, spreading the cost over 48 months to reduce monthly outgoings, trading in an existing handset or opting for a refurbished device, EE is giving customers more ways to access the devices they want.
