Hi there.
I have been trying to top up my new Pay as you go account (was previously on contract) for the first time.
I have tried several times with 2 different cards on 2 browsers. When I go to the payment, it lets me do Stage 1 (amount), Stage 2 (payment details including billing address) however never comes up with Stage 3 confirmation.
I also had the same issue when I tried to add a card on the MyEE app (which directs to the website) and also had this issue with 'Fast top up'.
I got to the end of Stage 2 all times, but never to stage 3. Please help.
Thanks. Ben

Are you presenting a UK bank card at a UK billing addy?

Did you use that PAYG SIM for making calls or texts in UK before it was switched from contract? EE PAYG SIMs need 1st activating on EE's home UK network. If it wasn't you can't now use it until you return to UK.

No I did not use it in the UK after the contract ended and pay as you go started.
Anyway, just tried again 2 weeks later and it worked. Not sure why/how - I think I did everything the same as last time.
Thanks
