I need my account number to register my EE broadband account, but all the instructions are circular - to get the account number, I need to sign in, but to sign in, I need my account number. The EE website says the number is ‘easy to find’ - just log in, select ‘menu’ and select ‘account settings’. But there is no menu option and no account settings option, even once logged in. There’s nothing to do with my account number in either ‘login information’ or ‘account details’ in my profile. I’ve also tried using the app and encountered the same problem. I also can’t view my bill through any of the above options.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

It should be in your Welcome email. If you don't have it you'll need to phone CS.

To clarify - I have an account and can log in, but when I do, my broadband account details aren’t linked, so I can’t find the account number. I receive bills to the same email address as the one I created the account with, but the bills link to an EE login page, and when I log in, the bills aren’t there.

Same issue.
i have tried several times today to get through to customer service and cannot get through.
really frustrated, because I keep getting told it will be in my welcome email, but I have searched every email received and no account number!
Why isn’t it sent in the package with the hardware (hub)

Hi @JoanneGlo.
When you are trying to call are you presented with an error or are you placed into the call queue?

I had several issues because I transferred my family’s 4 mobiles to EE at same time as broadband, so I had several questions that I hoped would be answered in the app, if I could link the broadband and phones to app.
so I phoned helpline with 4 questions I wanted answered, but firstly needed to port mobile numbers to EE because I was told that if BT disconnected me before my number port was requested then I might lose the numbers. So faced with 2 options, mobile OR broadband I firstly took mobile, then when I answered next question, porting, I got recorded message saying to text Port to 150 and then call was cut. Only answering one question.
then I did the port number text and got a text telling me not to use the pac code again otherwise I may delay the number porting, but I have 4 mobile (family sims) and same pac for all 4, so did this mean I should only use it once per Mobile or using it once would transfer all mobiles, I didn’t want to delay the porting, but didn’t want to risk 3 of us losing our existing number.
I tried to phone again but was in queue for too long and had to drop.
I could not find any text or email options to contact support and as I work full time, I do not have a lot of time free to wait in a queue.
I also realised that because I didn’t have the email sent to me with the account number on it, that I was missing several communications, so I was probably missing a lot of important information that must have gone to junk folder, and my junk gets permanently deleted after 24 hrs, so if I managed to get through I wanted to ask for info to be resent.
I also had ordered hybrid broadband and haven’t received a hub for that, and the broadband that should reach all parts of home but have not received additional disks. So wanted to ask about that.
but each time I phoned I’d have to drop before I reached front of queue then at 9 pm I got message to say lines closed.
i am overwhelmed with all the issues that I need to try to remember to ask when I eventually get through to the helpline and getting this right is so important , I would really prefer there was email or text support giving me the opportunity to write all the questions down rather than the stress and pressure of trying to remember and validate the answers on a call, when I assume I will get passed from department to department or told to phone back and select option 1.
sorry for the long message, but I have adhd and trying to deal with this causes me a lot of anxiety.
I am about to try the Helpdesk again
please tell me if there is a text or email alternative to avoid me the pain?

@JoanneGlo There is no text or e-mail for what you need to do, has to be the call to sort it all out.

Hi @JoanneGlo.
Please don't apologise for the long message, we are here to help.
When calling are you getting through to an agent or are you being told to text PORT to 150 from the automated system?
If you have not yet received your additional disks our Home Broadband team would need to chase this for you, we are limited to what we can do here on the community without account access. I would recommend giving us a call and following these options on the automated system, this will connect you to an agent as soon as possible:
Option 2 > Option 1 > Option 1 > Option 1 > Option 1 > Option 2.
Once you have spoke with our mobile care team please advise them you need to speak with our broadband department to chase your disks.
