Winning compensation from EE: lessons learnt

In my previous blog post I told the epic tale of how I finally got #163;300 compensation out of EE (trading as T-Mobile) despite epic stalling on their part. Based on that experience, here’s my advice to anyone else thinking of doing battle with a terrible phone company.
