Hi I’ve bought a Data only EE PAYG SIM card to put into a router.  
How do I activate the SIM and add the top up voucher that I bought with the sim please? 
New to mobile broadband here, apologies if I sound dim

It should already be activated. Just use it in UK.

A top-up voucher needs a text sending. If your mobile router can't send texts except as replies to incoming texts, some can't, you'll need to move the SIM to a phone in order to send the text.
