Recently new customer wanting to add to account

I recently installed 4g mobile broadband in my home office to replace the landline broadband. As we are in a rural location the landline is slow and troublesome. Would now like to install another mobile router to the main house, which is about 100m from the home office. EE will not allow me to add to my account until I have had the account for 6 months!  Has anyone else faced this problem and is there a way around it?  Want to stay with EE as mobile reception is good and certainly better that with the landline, but do not want to wait 6 months.

Hi Peter.. each router needs it's own simcard/contract so it does seem an expensive way to do it.  Have you considered getting a local electrician/installer to run a long ethernet cable from your router to the other building?  I did this at home to connect my 4G Router to the TV at the other end of a 'long' house.  100m is about the recommended limit for a Cat6 cable.

The only other way I can think of would be to buy your own router outright new or used and take out a sim only contract for it.
