Hi @Mikey55
Have you checked EE order tracking?
https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/orderdetails
I would also add that EE phones are locked to EE. The phone will only be unlockable after 6 months. If your daughter is abroad then this is longer than the stable link policy as per EE T&C as below.
Stable links
You must comply with the EE fair use policy which includes you being a permanent resident in, or having a stable
link to, the UK. We will consider you to have a stable link to the UK if, during any four-month period, you:
• spend a total of two months or more within the UK; or
• mainly use your inclusive voice, text or data usage allowances in the UK, rather than while you are roaming.
If we reasonably believe there is a breach of this stable links policy, we will monitor this based on the combination
of your presence in the UK and usage in the EU/EEA/Switzerland for four months. If, during this four month period,
we believe or know that you may have breached the conditions set out above, we will notify you of the breaches
and ask you to explain the reasons for this, as well as setting out the type of proof you need to supply to satisfy us
that your usage complies with EE’s stable links policy.
If you do not contact us within 14 days or we think that your explanation for your usage is unreasonable we may
apply a surcharge for all future usage. Surcharges are set out above and we will cease to charge these surcharges
when you contact us and either supply the proof requested in our notification or comply with the stable links policy.
You may not resell our UK SIM cards to persons not residing in or having stable links to the UK. If you do, we may
block the SIM card and roaming services.

You also need to ensure her account is set up for roaming (text ROAMING to 150)
Thanks

I have the same issues the only difference is that I ordered the phone 25th October and I still have not received it, I am not holding my breath to get it anytime soon, every time I call customer services they are no help at all. EE are becoming a joke.

Hi @Mathewbid,
I would have expected your phone to be with you by now.
Please get in touch with Customer Care so we can check the status of your order.
Thanks

I called customer services yesterday and the lady advised that I need to just wait, there is nothing EE could do as it is a problem with the supply. To be honest this is becoming a joke, I am paying for a new phone that I don’t have and no one can give me a update. All I keep getting is “it’s showing up to 28 days for delivery”. Well I know this but it’s been almost 2 months 😡
