Activation abroad

Sparkesy
Visitor

So I am registered with EE Business and unfortunately had to have my iphone handset replaced. I went in store for a replacement esim. I scanned the QR code and waited 7hrs. As I was due to go aboard the next morning I chased activation with customer services who advised I go to a store before they close. Despite attempts in store in conjunction with a further call to customer services whilst there, still no activation and told I would have to see out 24hrs. Since then despite further calls to customer services, where I was told I would have to get a QR emailed to me, and then having a sim sent to my registered address when I asked for an esim, followed by another call to correctly get a QR code for an esim, then a 3rd call to activate the esim I was eventually told it was all pointless because activation cannot happen whilst I’m abroad. 
EE had the opportunity to do the activation correctly whilst I was in the UK and got even got a second bite at the cherry but still couldn’t do it right. Now I’ve been left high and dry for 10days with no ability to make calls or receive data meaning I cannot set up my phone, access my iCloud data, Or any apps, meaning I have no access to money etc. This doesn’t even include the business I am probably losing due to clients not being able to contact me. 
And all I get is Sorry!

@Sparkesy  you need a sim to move your number from the sim to the eSim.  When scanning a QR code without a sim in the device it can not activate the eSim as it’s not got anything to move to the eSim. the QR code it’s just activation process within the device. 

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