Hi
i have upgraded to iphone14 - spoke to customer support as couldn’t activate eSIM - they couldn’t do either and sent out another - which neither the customer support team or technical support have been able to activate. After a lot of time on helplines I still have no functioning phone after a week. Am beginning to worry I have been sent a dodgy handset. Any thoughts please? Increasingly thinking in terms of returning handset.
thanks in anticipation

Thanks for replying. Not sure my post was as clear as it should have been. When I said EE have sent me another SIM I meant a new SIM card. Neither the customer service nor the tech team were able to activate it today.

What were you advised when you spoke to Customer Care @AGR1?

Thanks for your help. Spent another hour in shop and then another hour trying to exchange phone( unsuccessfully). It appears I was sent a ‘black listed’ phone - reason why was not made clear to me - the phone is going back and I plan to leave EE. A very disappointing experience.
Thanks again for taking time to respond.
