Smart Hybrid Connect - Alternative SIM

[wenklaw]

Will the Smart Hybrid Connect work with a EE or BT SIM card in?  The BT Hybrid connect did.  Ive read a few posts on here which are purely based on 'the service' being sold by EE, thats not what I am asking, the question is will it work with a standard EE or BT sim card

As far as I know it will work. The internals of the EE Hybrid Connect are identical to the BT model.

The hybrid connect DOES NOT work with either an alternative or standard EE sim or BT sim, just sits there with the mobile signal bars flashing red.  Cost me a fiver so not particularly bothered but at least it now answers my question 🤣

Just an update on this for what it’s worth.  The hybrid connect does in fact work with any EE sim.  The reason it wasn’t working was I had a PIN lock on the sim, disabled the PIN lock and voila it works .

Thanks for taking the time to come back and update us on this, @wenklaw 

We're really glad to hear you managed to get this sorted out, too!

Thanks again,
