Payg without data

Pricersy4 — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 12:24:00 GMT

I have just purchased a new phone for my dad as he was unable to top up his old payg phone. How do I get a new sim without a data pack. He only needs it to make occasional calls. How do I also transfer his number to his new phone?

Thanks in advance.

@Pricersy4 Does the sim from the old phone fit in the new device?

@Chris_B I’m not sure as the new phone hasn’t been delivered yet. I am seeking advice now as I know he will be asking me questions when he receives the phone.

All EE PAYG SIMs come primed with a recurring Pack of allowances ready to bought out of your PAYG credit as soon as it is sufficient.

Text STOP PACK to 150 before you next top-up & you can use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
