Ive had an EE account for years with a single Sim only package. In October I moved two other mobile numbers across to EE and signed up for their new Fibre package. As part of that, I was supposed to get Xbox Gamepass. I was initially told that once the fibre had been installed and the first month billed I would be notified of the Gamepass code. Ive had nothing and when I check my broadband account it still states that its not installed. Ive been using it since mid October and its great 🙂
Anyone else having similar issues?

Hi @IanMac72,
Welcome to the EE Community
Sorry to hear you are having issues activating your Xbox Game Pass. It would usually be activated by going to Plans and Subscriptions when you login, select Manage Gaming, add the Game Pass and then it will take you to activate.
If your online account is not showing an active Broadband account though it will require giving our team a call on 150 from your EE mobile or 0330 123 1105 from any phone so our team can get your account sorted.

Hi Alex
But when I call (a few times to date) I am told that they don't know how to resolve the account access issue and to wait a week!

@badge16 I am sorry you have not been able to get it resolved when calling. Is your broadband not showing active or are you just unable to link it up to your online account?
If you are unable to activate your Xbox Game Pass online, one of our guides will usually raise a Xbox escalation form to resolve which can take up to 7 working days, is this what they have done when you called last?

Thank you for responding so quickly Alex!
I have been unable to link my broadband account to my existing mobile account since migrating. I was informed that this may take 7 days to resolve? Reading the forums this timescale does not always appear to be the case and appears a long standing issue term issue for EE and numerous customers.
Since the X-box pass subscription is activated from within the broadband account, not having access to it meant that I was no longer able to utilise it, despite already having it as part of my BT account before migrating to EE. Again I was told to wait a week to see if this was resolved. (Not a good service when I am already paying for it).
Reading various forums on this topic I have learned that if you create a separate EE account using a NEW email address that is different to the one you use for your mobile phone account and add the broadband account number within the new account (again for which I had to ring 150 to obtain said account number since it was not in any of the confirmation broadband contract emails received to date) then hey presto you have access to your broadband account! I could then activate the X-box subscription from within.
It is a pain having 2 separate EE accounts however at least I can access my broadband account and of course mobile, albeit from another account.
Hopefully this may well help those others on here also trying to find a fix to this BT/EE migration issue ?
I don't intend to try and merge my EE accounts this avoiding losing any access now that I have it!
I am now keeping my fingers crossed that I don't lose my existing BTinternet email addresses, despite asking several EE staff members, they all have said they 'think' it should be ok?
Your quick response though is re-assuring so again thank you!

I’ve done exactly this and I’m still awaiting the game pass code. Whenever I speak to someone from EE about this they say they are not aware of this deal and that my accounts aren’t linked. My accounts are now linked and still no game pass 4 months in. I wouldn’t mind not having it but when promised it my husband and children are now asking for it. I feel I’ve been mis-sold. Has yours been resolved now?

Hi @KatySt
Welcome to the Community!
Have you been able to query this with the team now your accounts are linked?
If you're unhappy with what you are advised by one of our team then you can ask for a complaint to be raised, and escalate this to a team leader.

Hi, thanks for your response, I’ve had no joy at all - would this mean phoning 150 again?
