Are you using a mobile BB router or a phone? Either way you have a PAYG data SIM in it.

MyEE doesn't work for registering PAYG MBB devices or at least those with data SIMs. It stops at telling you to connect your device & login to it, but when you've done as instructed it doesn't have anywhere for you to say you've done it.

You may continue using your device but you just can't register it to MyEE.

Go to http://add-on.ee.co.uk/status from the device will tell you your usage.

Go to http://add-on.ee.co.uk/purchase from the device to buy add-ons.

okay thanks that's great, but when I go to these links it shows me my data usage/data packs I can get but as soon as I try to get one it still takes me the the ee page and asks me to link my phone. I literally cannot advance until my phone is linked it seems

Which are you on, PAYG or Flex?

Try using the 150 Text Service to buy packs & add-ons.
