@Ambermile : You'll need to call CS to get your BB a/c no. if you don't already have it (starting 'GB' followed by 8 digits).

Since the advent of digital landlines BB a/c's are no longer id'ed by phone no.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Home Broadband & Home Phone or Option 2 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

I know my account number. The phone number is the security number they send - or would send - confirmation of changes to. It's not in use anymore, so I cannot get through the security steps

Then you would need to change the contact mobile no. in your Profile.

And there you have it. I cannot, because I need access to the old number to change it.

Round and round. Never thought I'd say this but... Virgin looking good about now.

YOU changed your number & never updated it first it's therefore a you problem not an EE one but it's all EE's fault of course

Clearky not a solution. thanks for the other help peoples but this sort of attitude turns people away.

@Ambermile , you may need to go to an EE store with photo ID to do this, or you should be able to speak to EE with answering some questions they have of you to prove who you are, should have updated your details before all this, something customers should always check their details are always up to date, a good reminder for anyone else.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using web based app or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.
