Linking my EE mobile to my account

To anyone at EE that may be listening - why can you not link my mobile to my account?

Started in December 24, contacted help twice since only be told:

- 'This is a known problem'

- 'Wait a few days'

- 'You're in the 20% of customers that are affected' (my favourite)

This kind of service is, in my opinion, amongst the poorest available and EE should be ashamed of this.

Please feel free to forward this post to anyone in EE that (a) has the ability to recognise poor customer service, (b) is able to fix the problem.

Thanks Alex - I have submitted a complaint today and I wait to see what happens.

We shouldn't have to submit a complaint about us not being able to link our devices that were all there showing fine no problem until EE decided to change it all. I've been trying for months. 

I agree with you, shocking support, but then I've only been waiting three months (! - hello EE?)

I did find this on their website 'Log in to your EE account online and access all your EE products and subscriptions in one place. Manage your bills, usage, personal details and more.' [https://ee.co.uk/help/login] and (while I am not a lawyer), this is what I signed up to, and I have yet to receive any such facility nor any meaningful help on the matter (never mind any compensation for their failure), and was wondering whether this constituted a breach of contract? Just sayin' ...

Having to complain to EE must be embarrassing for them, and I do wonder what OFCOM might have to say on the matter.

 

A few updates:

a) I have just received a text from ee telling me I can find my billing details online. If anyone at ee is able to take me through the process of finding my billing details online online or the app please do get hold of me as I am unable to find it in either place 

b) no update yet from my formal complaint other than a basic we’ve received your complaint

c) on the plus side, ee has upgraded my community status several times to ‘Investigator’ - here’s a thought - perhaps ee might consider redeploying Community support to fixing real user problems?

One last thing to ee - your menu link specifies “Forum FAQ’s”, please note that it should be “Forum FAQs” - no apostrophe as this indicates possession rather than a plural. Happy to speak to your marketing/web department.

Yours in anticipation

Alan

Thanks for the updates @alansimmonds 

If you have submitted a complaint via the webform @Alex_H linked above, the team will be looking into this and should be in touch within 7 days to discuss this further with you.

I appreciate you letting us know about the grammatical error you spotted, I've passed that on to be updated.

Same problems here !

We were transferred from BT Business Mobile to EE as apparently BT Business Mobile is being fazed out & we were told that if we didn't transfer to EE, we would lose our numbers.........???  BT Business Mobile said that all we would have to do is swap the SIM cards.  Everything else would stay the same......

From day 1 we've experience problems.

PORTING was meant to happen on a Friday evening - as suggested by BT Business Mobile so as not to cause inconvenience to our plumbing & heating business.  However, come Monday our mobiles had been disconnected from BT Business Mobile but weren't working with EE.   We didn't have them working until the Tuesday so, NO SERVICE for a day.   Disgraceful service for Business Customers.

We also find the service COVERAGE for where we are is very hit & miss.  Our customers' keep telling us that when they phone the numbers they more often than not say, out of service......  Not great for business!

We received our first bill on 21st Jan.  The bill said the payment was due the same day it arrived on the doorstep but NO DIRECT DEBIT had been set up.  Also it wasn't a VAT INVOICE.   Numerous phone calls later to BT & EE, I eventually managed to make the payment and set up the DD.  I requested a VAT invoice & was asked for our VAT number which I was surprised as they didn't already have from BT.  Anyway, long story short, a month later I am still waiting for the first invoice to be reissued as a VAT invoice.  I've made so many phone calls, I just go around & around in circles with EE.

I've also been trying since we joined EE to LINK OUR MOBILES to our ACCOUNT.  Again I've made several phone calls but every time I'm told, please give us a few days mam.  Again & again & again.  So we have no access to our invoices or account either.

Then to top it off, today, I had a text message stopped with a text response from EE  saying the account had been CAPPED?  I contacted EE who confirmed that our texts are unlimited.  I was told that the mobile number I was texting was a premium number so I wouldn't be able to send a text to it but I could phone it???   This number belongs to a longstanding disabled customer of ours.  Anyway I phoned said customer & told him what EE said.   Our customer confirmed that he has a standard mobile number.  So more utter rubbish from EE.

So if anyone reads this and is being urged by BT to transfer to EE, I would advise you to consider your options carefully.  If I knew then what I know now, I would have left BT but set up an account myself with another provider and it wouldn't have been EE.  

Last note: We had an EE account a few years ago & struggled to get VAT invoices then.  Their issues haven't been rectified in that time so probably never will be.  So anyone trying to link a mobile to an account - don't hold your breath.

Hi @Elm73,

Welcome to the Community!

I'm sorry to hear about what has been happening since you moved your plan over to us, and I can absolutely understand how upsetting ths must be for you, as this is far from ideal.

I'd recommend getting in touch with our team and making a complaint regarding this, as it sounds like a number of things have gone wrong, and our complaints team will be the best people to help you get things back on track.

Hello Lesley

Thank you for your response. For your and EE's record, I submitted a complaint on 02.02.2026 and according to your email I should have received an email for further discussion regarding my complaint. I find no email from EE of the form you mention.

Lesley: (a) Perhaps you might be able to chase my complaint? and (b) provide me with the SLAs for responses to complaints?

I note further that the grammatical error ("FAQ's") has yet to be fixed.

For anyone reading this thread, I'm greatly cheered to announce that I have now earned an EE 'Helping hand badge', though for all of my status improving within this community, sadly this seemingly does not extend to EE resolving my reported issue, nor to my complaint.
