Proof of Usage

Bipanshu — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 15:52:56 GMT

Hello,

My phone was stolen and I have a sim-only contract, I need a proof of usage and I have been told that that cannot be provided because the device isn't bought by EE. I have been contacting for a week and been strung along. Other people on this forum have had the same request and have been provided with the proof of usage. @Christopher_G and @Katie_B have helped others on the forum with this issue. I have already made multiple calls and failed to receive proof of usage. How can it be that I pay a monthly bill yet there is no letter confirming that I use your services?

Hi @Bipanshu

Welcome to the community.

I'm really sorry to hear that you had your phone stolen and that you've had a problem getting this document. I've had a look into this and our Mobile Care team can definitely request a proof of usage for a non-EE device. I recommend getting back in touch and asking them to do so.

Hi Christopher,

Could you please let me know the next steps if I am refused without reason?

You could ask them to open a complaint, @Bipanshu. You shouldn't have a problem though, there is a process for them to follow for this specific circumstance.

Hi @Bipanshu

If this is for your insurance then you didn't need it because it's a barrier to your claim put in place by your insurers who don't want to pay your claim. All you need are your bills from your EE account or online account. Make an official complaint to your insurers and then escalate your complaint to the financial ombudsman service.

Thanks

I’m facing similar issues. Did you manage to get proof of usage ?

Hi Amit,

Yes, in my case, what they had done was deactivate my sim, so their system didn’t allow them to to produce as my sim was locked at that point. So you should tell them to give you proof of usage by reactivating your sim and then deactivating it again. Hope that helps.

I contacted EE today by phone asking Proof of Ownership and they were very helpful. I got a proof of ownership letter by email before the call was finished.

EE were extremely helpful and friendly.

Hi @Ronak194
Welcome to the Community.

I know you'll be keen to get this sorted out. Did the team give a reason as to why they are unable to provide a proof of usage? Our Customer Service team would normally supply this by email at your request.
