A month ago I saw an advert for a 6 day trip to the Isle of Mann and I booked it. I had no idea that the Isle of Mann was not covered by EE mobile service until I got here. I've also discovered they have their own currency! Ignorance is not always bliss!
I had a text message from EE welcoming me to the IoM then telling me I'm incurring a daily £2.59 charge or I could purchase a £15 7-day Europe Zone Pass by clicking a supplied link for free. I decided it would just about break even if I paid it . The link informs me I have no internet and to switch off my wifi and a few other things. All of which fail.. I have my laptop and the hotel has free wifi . The provided link does not work on my laptop and interestingly I can access my emails on my mobile although that is probable wgat incurs the charge, outside of the hotel the phone is useless. Thank goodness I have never used my mobile to make payments!
At this point I think I have just about givrn up any idea about following through with taking up the £15 offer but I do wonder if I am the only one who has done this.
I have been lectured by another lady in the party about how to change my service supplier but that won't be an instant repair as I will need the new supplier's SIM card. EE was a swap as my Plusnet supplier informed me they were closing their mobile service and recommended EE - I believe they were merging. The only hiccup I've had is EE's desire to modernise my Samsun mobile. Sorry I buy second-hand when the battery wears out!
