Replacement SIM Card Help.

RobBallantyne

Hello.

I have recently ordered a new phone, as my old phone no longer functions and will not even turn on, to make matters worse my SIM card has become stuck in the old phone so I have ordered a Replacement SIM card to use. 

I just want to know that if there is anything I need to do when the replacement SIM card arrives. If it has anything to do with calling EE then this is obviously something I can't do. 

My phone arrived a couple of days ago and am looking forward to being able to use it.

Many Thanks

Robert.

What do I need to do when I get a new SIM?

 

Here’s what to do when you get sent a new SIM:

  1. pop the SIM into your device
  2. activate your new SIM

    you only need to do this if you’ve upgraded and been sent a new SIM, or ordered a new one because your old one no longer fitted your device

  3. wait for a signal and the EE symbol to appear on your screen

    this can take up to 24 hours but is usually much quicker
