Hi,

I have just signed up via Mobile Phones Direct onto EE. £19.99 for 16GB with £96 Cashback plus £10 with TCB. Works out at £11.15p/m which is great! Just realised though that through work I can get the £19.99 with a 20% discount, so not great now but would be in future. If in 12 months I wanted to take advantage of that would EE consider me a new customer as I signed up via MPD?

If not this is still the best deal over 2yrs even (only just)....as long as I remember to send the bills every 3 months....

No, if you an existing EE customer how do you think you can you be classed as a new customer?

If you wanted a new customer deal in 12 months you would have to leave EE with a PAC and then return to EE with another PAC.

Buying through MPD doesn't get you EE Extra I believe, so if you're going to Europe a lot, it's better to go direct to EE.

As for the cashback, add google calendar reminders on the billing dates to remind yourself to upload the bills.

Yes it does.

Thanks for your replies. I wondered as I am a "customer" of MPD in theory, it worked many years ago going from a provider from a 3rd party.

Good tip about the calender entries, I have tended to avoid such deals in the past but it's worth it for this one.

The deal says "Double Speed" and elsewhere on the site there is a connection between double speed and the extra benefits...I'll check with them next week anyway.

If I can't get a good deal after 12 months (or if the price goes up to £34.99 as is speculated about this deal I may well have to leave and come back.....

No, your contract is with EE, MPD are just an agent for EE selling you access to the EE network.

You become a customer of EE as soon as you sign up via MPB. It has always worked that way. Well, at least since the 1990's.

You definitely do get EE Extra through MPD
