Hi, I have chosen BritBox as my swappable benefit on a SMART plan. How do I get access to activate my BritBox account?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

I have the has same issue and Have called EE twice about it. Now resolved. They referred me to a link on the Britbox site:
from there you need to put in your details and then you get a pin, which then sets you up. The login screen acknowledges it’s a swappable benefit, so shouldn’t be an additional charge.
EE staff noted it was unclear and will look to make the process clearer online.

@NJPK83 text BRITBOX to 150 and use the link in the return message.

That doesn’t set up BRITBOX as a Swappable. It merely gets you it free for 6 months before charging you £5.99/month. I don’t think EE have thought this one through. I’ve had BRITBOX as a Swappable for 2 months - except I can’t access it. Pretty useless.

Hi @174andypie
Have a chat with our Mobile Care team, they'll be able to make sure you're set up fully for Britbox.

Hi Sunny D
Big thank you from me. You have achieved in 2 minutes what EE has failed at for the past 2 months. I did as you instructed and it worked - brilliant! I think EE should do its customers a favour by dropping Kevin Bacon and using all the money saved to employ you as a Customer Service Guru!
Thanks again & happy viewing!! 😁😁😁

Glad to have been able to help.
just hoping that Britbox (who I had previously subscribed to) are able to work out on their end that they should not charge me any more for the service, as it’s now a swappable benefit through EE! I cancelled it with them a few weeks ago, so hoping its is a smooth transition.

I thought I was going mad until I finally found this post! Even now there is no useful information on the EE help pages about how to activate Britbox when you have it as a Smart benefit (rather than the free for 6 months version).
Thank you!
