EE haven’t asked for my upgrade trade in phone

HamishS — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 15:17:01 GMT

Hi I recently upgraded my phone through EE’s sales team over the phone and I’ve had the new phone a few weeks but haven’t heard anything from EE about getting my trade in handset back to them.
I don’t want to suddenly be charged for not fulfilling my side of the trade in because I haven’t been given information on what to do.
Is it normal for there to be a few weeks between upgrade and trade in? Thanks

Hi @HamishS.

Welcome to the community.

The returns bag is usually sent a few days after you receive the phone.

There has been a slight amendment to our returns policy, but I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care team to make them aware that you've still got the phone.

Hi @HamishS and @Adnan1

Have you both spoken to the Mobile Care team?

Yes but every time I call they say they’re prioritising vulnerable customers and non-urgent calls should be handled online where possible...hence me posting this hoping someone from EE might jump in and help. i’ve tried to call multiple times but get bored after 20+ minutes of waiting to be put through.

as far as I’m concerned it’s something EE should be chasing up with me not the other way around. What’s the point in having a support forum is no one from your company Can actually step up and help with the issues this way?
If when I call it tells me to use the forums and the forums tell me ring up what should I do?!
