How to Cancel EE Mobile Contract UK
Looking to cancel your EE mobile phone contract? Whether you’re switching providers, cutting costs, or no longer need the service, this guide walks you through exactly how to cancel — with or without keeping your number.
We cover all your options, including using a PAC or STAC code, cancelling by phone, and how to avoid unexpected fees. Here’s everything you need to know.
📋 What to Know Before You Cancel
EE mobile contracts typically run for 24 months. If you’re still within your minimum term, you may be charged an early termination fee. If you’re out of contract, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice and no penalty.
✅ You can keep your number or request a new one when switching
✅ Switching to another provider may allow for automatic cancellation
✅ You can cancel via PAC or STAC code, by phone, or by contacting EE directly
To check if you’re still in contract and what charges may apply, text INFO
to 85075 — EE will respond with your current contract status and any potential exit fees.
✅ Cancel via PAC or STAC Code (Switching Providers)
If you’re moving to a new network, these codes let you cancel quickly:
🔁 Want to keep your number?
- Text
PAC
to 65075 - You’ll receive a PAC code and any fee info
- Give this to your new provider — they’ll transfer your number and cancel EE for you
🔄 Want a new number?

STAC
to 75075 - You’ll get a STAC code to cancel your number and account

☎️ Cancel by Phone or Chat (Without Switching)
If you’re not switching to a new provider and simply want to cancel:
- Call EE:
- From an EE phone: 150

You’ll need to:

📧 Top tip: Always request confirmation by email or SMS so you have a cancellation reference.
💷 Early Termination Charges
If you’re out of contract, there’s no fee to leave.
If you’re still in contract, EE may charge an early exit fee, calculated as:
- Remaining months × monthly charge (ex. VAT)
- Minus a 4% discount for early repayment
You’ll be told the exact charge when requesting your PAC/STAC or by texting INFO
to 85075.
📦 Equipment Returns
Most EE mobile users don’t need to return anything. However, if you were provided with additional devices (like mobile routers or handsets on a lease plan), EE will confirm if anything needs to be returned.
💬 Still Being Charged?
