Hi
Reaching out to get some insight before going into EE Store. Our situation a bit complicated.
1. Wife has contract phone in her name, with my number as a second sim. (She pays and I reimburse her) She’s overdue for a replacement (five years), so upgrading imminently.
When she does that, will my sim automatically be added, or will I need to find another sim only deal?
2. My son (now 23) also in same boat. Difference is contract still in my name. (Goes back to when he was under 18, and we’ve never untangled that)
Am I right in thinking we need to transfer account to his name, so that he can then upgrade? Also needs to have the old phone in his name for three months?)
If so, can that initial transfer be completed online? If so, how?
Thank you

That's right! It's you that has to do the upgrade for him as you are the a/c owner.
