new sim not working - no data, calls, msgs

EEcustomer18 — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 19:50:36 GMT

I have ordered - EE PAYG 4G Multi SIM, 25GB , £15 Subscription Pack. The upfront cost was 15 so I have thought that was for 1st month.

I have got EE and 4g showing on my phone screen and it has been 24 hours ( I assume the card is active) but there is no data or calls or msgs avaiable.

When I try go online it directs me to my EE account where you can do top ups. I enclose pictures.

It says that my subscription starts when I run out data first. I do not know what data because I do not have any.

I do not understand what I have to do. I already paid 15 pounds when I was ordering so now I have to pay another 15 ?

As well, tomorrow my old number should be transfered by 6pm. Not sure if that has something with that.

Thanks for help.

What does texting AL to 150 from your no. fully report verbatim (it is free)?

It says that my current balance is 0.00£.

So why I paid 15£ when ordering. For what?

@EEcustomer18

The £15 credit should have been applied to your SIM, and if already completed may have also been used to purchase a package.

However, it appears you've not had a package purchased automatically.

I'd recommend giving our Customer Service a call where they can access your account to check what happened to the £15 credit that came with the SIM, and apply it correctly if needed.
