I want to upgrade, but I cant

I'm really tempted with the new Google Pixel 9XL - I've been a follower of the Google Pixel line up since the 1st one.

My last phone was the Google Pixel 6 Pro - and as Google promised 7 years of updates - I stuck with it last year when my contract was up and instead took out a Sim Only contract with EE.

 

I have maybe 2 months left on my Sim Only plan and was looking to upgrade to the phone - however when I click on the shop im presented with 3 options [Upgrade] [Add a Product] [Manage Account]

Upgrade button isn't a link ... at all, it doesn't work and it takes me no where - so i therefore cannot upgrade - anyone else had this issue?

Now, I know I can phone 150 and upgrade over the phone, I find it rather inconvenient and feel like I need to make a decision on what I'm after there and then and id rather do it in my own time on the website (its kind of the whole point of having a website)

It's really frustrating. 

 

(side note: I'm a technical user, I build websites for a living, so yes, I've tried the whole clear cookies, cache etc etc)

 

TIA

Hi @gaza1994,

We want to make upgrading as straightforward as possible for you, so I can understand how frustrating this must be for you. 

Just so I can be sure we are looking at the same thing, can I check this is happening when you log into your account online, as opposed to in the EE app?

I’m having the same problem would be good to know why it’s happening

Hi @Kempo 

I'm sorry you are also having trouble with the using the upgrade function. Do you see a difference with app or browser?

Thanks for checking that @gaza1994 it really helps narrow down the issue.

Does it still reflect the same plan and contract dates in the app? I know you mentioned you are on a SIM plan that's coming to an end soon, is that showing correctly for your number?

Thanks for sending that over @gaza1994. That does look odd, so I'd recommend giving our team a call, and they can look into why this is showing, and work with you to get your upgrade completed.

Hi @Kempo,

We don't want you to have any trouble with your upgrade, so I'd love to help. Are you also out of contract?
