Re: How to activate your new EE pay monthly SIM Card

Hello,

I purchased a new EE pay monthly SIM as I am moving over from another network provider (Three). I am also keeping my old number and have the PAC from Three.

My question is whether I need to be in the UK to activate the new EE SIM and move my old number across, or if I can do this in Spain where I currently am.

I planned to be in the UK this Christmas but COVID complications may have stopped me being able to travel home this Christmas.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Hi @chrishero81

You will have to wait as EE Sims can only be activated on EE UK network.

Once activated you can port your number across from three.

Thanks

If I put the SIM card in a family member's handset in the UK - so my old number ported across and it registered in an EE network - could they then post me the SIM card to Spain?

Is that a viable work around?

Yes, that would be fine @chrishero81
