New Pay As You Go Phone With PAC transfer

kallibeth — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 07:41:55 GMT

Hi all

Last week I ordered a pay as you go sim card for which I paid £9 for 500 minutes and texts, Data Rollover, 30 Days. No contract, 8GB after 6 months. I also provided my PAC number during the checkout order for the SIM card to switch my current phone number from another provider.

I received the sim card on Saturday and I added it to a device I have the following problems.

1. My phone number is not transferred from the other provider yet

2. I only see having 24GB in my plan. No 500 minutes or texts available as far as I see in my EE account website. I tried to make a call and it says I have not available credit.

What should I do?

Thanks

Your new EE SIM will have a temporary number assigned when you first receive it. If a PAC was supplied as part of the order, that will be submitted when you first activate the new SIM onto EE's network.

A port-in date will be set then, usually the following working day. This assumes activation during normal working hours - if during the evening, add an extra working day to these timescales. Weekends are not working days thus don't count towards porting timescales.

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

Thanks a lot for the reply. When we say activate the EE SIM we mean just to put it on a phone right? I don't need to do anything else ?

Also what about the minutes and texts? When will I see the allowance on my account?

A bit more than that! You need to use it on the EE network by making a call or text or using data.

My transferred number just appeared now in the account.
I just don't see the plan I paid for in my account page. Here are some screenshots from the different places of the EE online account. Only in one of them it says that I have the £10 saver plan. But it doesn't show in the other pages in my allowances.

@kallibeth , are you sure you added the one with text and minutes and not just data? I would otherwise suggest speaking to customer service by pressing option 2 to speak to one of the guides to take a look for you.
