Replacement SIM card confirmed but not received

Bisquits — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 20:58:17 GMT

Hello,

I ordered a replacement SIM card on January 19th but haven't received it.

I've bought a new phone that needs a nano-sized SIM, but my current phone uses the larger mini-sized card.

I ordered the replacement though my online account and agreed to a £1.50 delivery charge, expecting the money to be taken from either my PAYG credit or the debit card attached my account. I'm on PAYG, not a monthly contract.

I received a text message and email confirming the SIM card had been dispatched in the days following the order, but as of typing this I haven't received the card and the £1.50 charge hasn't been taken from my credit or bank account.

I don't know if it's something to do with the age of the phone. I got it with Orange in 2012, before the eventual buyout/merger with EE. The network on my phone says T-Mobile, but I topup with EE.

Have I missed doing something or is there another issue here?

Thanks for reading.

Hi @Bisquits

Welcome to the community.

I would have expected the SIM card to have arrived by now if you had the text and email to say it had been dispatched.

The are a couple of options to get this chased and arrange for another SIM.

The first one is to give our customer service guides a call, and they can arrange for one to be sent, or if you are the account holder, you can visit an EE store with photo ID (either a driving licence or passport) and they can activate a SIM in store for you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for my delayed response.

It appears to be sorted now. It turns out that the first SIM card I requested was sent to my old address, despite me entering my new one when I placed the order. I contacted customer services who sent out a second card and also upgraded my account from 2G/3G to 5G, but in doing that something seems to have gone wrong.

After waiting another week I contacted customer services again who confirmed the second SIM was also sent to my old address, so a third SIM was sent out, which I got today and appears to working perfectly.

I've spoken to three different people from customer services based in Falkirk, and they were all excellent.

Thanks for popping back with an update @Bisquits

I'm pleased you're sorted now with a new SIM.
