Hi @cgee69

Thanks for posting 🙂

If the PIN is not being received, you would need to give us a call on 150 and the team will place the order for you. 

Leanne.

Certainly, @cgee69.

Pop into your nearest store with ID and they'll do their best to help.

This is so infuriating! I too have tried every time and unable to upgrade to ‘good as new’ models when calling 150 or going in store. #Con

@MattP212      You can purchase good as new via 150 and online.    A store on the other hand as far as I aware don’t offer good as new 

why do you believe there is a con somewhere?         Why not just upgrade online ?   

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

You haven’t read the original post..  I’ve had 3x Apple Watches over the past 6 years, but each time I’m due an upgrade EE does not allow upgrading online as it does “security checks” and sends an SMS Notification to the sim number of the watch, which isn’t active as Apple Watches link to personal SIM.

Every time I’ve contacted 150, they say they can’t offer ‘good as new’ watches over the phone, instead these are online only. 

Also, it’s a reoccurring issue, reported to EE and this forum and yet, they haven’t made a fit for this. There lies the con. Unfair that already long term customers can’t access  ‘good as new’ or upgrades online like every customer.

You physically can’t upgrade online if your watch is paired to your phone, it’s ridiculous

Yep, I’ve found the same problem. If your watch doesn’t have its own SIM card with separate number you can’t physically upgrade online.

I’d rather not have to ring up and listen to someone try and sell me internet and tv for twenty minutes as happened last time despite saying I wasn’t interested repeatedly
