Topped up mobile broadband but have no data

An new EE SIM card in a 4G router worked just fine until my data volume expired as expected after the first month.

I have now topped up £30 but still can't use this. I get a screen saying I don't have data (presumably they mean data volume).

 

I find EE incredibly confusing about this. Is what I'm using called 4G WiFi? If yes, this is a most strange name. If no, what is the exact name of EE's mobile broadband service? To know would make searching for solutions possible.

Do you see the discrepancy in the screenshot you posted?

39 MB left, but ZERO credit?  I very much doubt anybody can find logic in this. 

In other words, what now? Is there something or is there not?

 

Our own screenshot at the time was one level worse (past tense, as we're beyond this point now). It only offered further top-up, showed "no data" despite being £30 in credit. But this is now water under the bridge.

 

I begin to feel sorry for you guys that you have to defend such an inconsistent and by any standard, illogical system. 

 

No doubt, you will now argue that one has to buy first (put money on some account), then allocate/use/book/top-up/add an add-on (adding to what?)  or any other term that doesn't actually say what it is. 

 

If EE wants to redefine words of the English language, bad enough, but you have to explain this.

 

Regardless, at the time of our problem, how can there be a system that shows non-plausible things? Has nobody in IT at EE ever heard about plausibility checks in software?

You are a doubting Thomas! No, I don't see any discrepancy at all!

 

The 39MB out of 50MB (peanuts) is a free starting allowance each SIM is given to start off with.

 

It is free! You don't need any credit to have it! You don't need to spend money on it!

 

Don't cry for me, Argentina!

Very unfortunately, it would appear that you don't fully realise that there is a difference between an applicable principle, manifested in this inconsistent example display with some numbers on it and on the other hand our actual case. If you don't, we have to agree to disagree.  

 

Given your quote from some musical, you don't seem to take me seriously. Hmm.

How can I when you refuse to show your "actual case", which you accused me of before.

 

Cheerio!
