Will EE ever fix the problem of linking accounts for ex BT customers

Good afternoon

I's over 6 months now since we switched from BT but EE can still not work out how to link my Broadband & Mobile accounts. So much for being a high tech company

How long has it been since been since BT acquired EE?

When did BT announce that in future its consumer stuff would all sail under the EE banner?

Hi Linzi

I did as you suggested and rang the customer service who couldn't help so they logged an issue with their "backroom" technical team and said I will recieve a call within 3 working days.

You've probably guessed, I haven't heard anything 🤣

The "DM" route seems to be a quicker option.

From what I read here, customer service still doesn't get the problem.

I also had to wait a few days before anything happened. And weekends are a dead zone.

Hi @DaveJR 

I'm so sorry that you've not heard anything back from our team as expected.

At this stage, I think the best thing to do is to open a complaint using our complaints webform. From there we can be sure you'll receive a response and outcome to this query.

I very much doubt it Linzi - 41 phone calls, 2 visits and 4 merge requests - and my issue is still not resolved!

Dave - they obviously have their script in place for issues like yours and mine - and I am not a legacy account holder - both purchased through EE yet 2 different entities meaning that on my app I can only see the mobile account - and the whole point of me purchasing the broadband was the 'prioritising wfh' etc - which is null and void.  I have made a complaint - but honestly I have made over 40 phone calls - 2 separate visits to an EE shop - 4 merge requests - ranging from 'tech team' to 'back room' to the 'merge' team - and everyone that I speak to say - hang on I will fix it - over an hour each time and they can't.  Oh and I have already got 2 complaints in that have gone silent.  Good luck for you!

I originally had one account with BT, broadband & mobiles, no problems and was happy with the BT service.  All I wanted to do was upgrade our broadband speed which meant transferring to EE now that they are part of BT, you would of thought that would be a simple smooth transaction, think again. My start date was delayed due to poor  communication to engineers now the inability of a "tech" company to have one customer account for both broadband & mobile, EE are a shambles, all they do is pass you round there departments with no-one having a solution to the problem they say can be sorted. Why not just own up and tell us  you don't know hiw to and get someone on board who can.

Hmmm. My BT broadband services, two of them, are now out of contract. I have been looking for a better/cheaper alternative. I had thought of using EE, where I have a "grandfather" mobile contract that is outrageously cheap. But after read this message, I am loathe to go anywhere near EE.

As you say, EE and BT are now the same business, all under the EE brand name, so you'd hope that they could manage some joined up thinking. Then again, BT's customer interface has always been one of the clunkiest on the planet, especially when you are trying to manage two separate contracts side by side. So there is a lot to unravel.

That these are tech companies just piles on the irony.
