"Top-up successful" means that you have added money credit to your PAYG balance & it is ready to be spent. It doesn't mean you have added any data. You now need to buy a data add-on with your PAYG credit.
Visit http://add-on.ee.co.uk/purchase from a device connected to your mobile router by WiFi to see what data add-ons are available.

Hi @PiperDudley
Thanks for reaching out to us here on the community.
Would you be able to pop the sim card in a phone and text NOW to 150 to see if this activates your data.
Thanks

Afraid that won’t help .. as the data top up is not for my phone it’s for my 4GEE mobile wifi

EE tells mr yop ip successful
EEsays I have no data
APP says I have data ‘waiting’ .. and countdown has begun …

Hi there @PiperDudley
If you pop the mobile broadband SIM card into a phone, the text will be sent for that number not the mobile phone number.
Can you try and visit the add-on page to set up the data pack, does this work?
Thanks 🙂

Hi Leanne
I have done this a nimber if times !!
EVERY TIME … I go through everything and get put on ‘hold’ while they ‘ go and speak to someone’ .. then after 2 mins … ‘ call ended’ !! .. so EE have cut me off !!
meanwhile the countdown in continuing ..
writing is at least 7 days ..
in fact when I filled in the complaint form .. EE opened it .. then 10 mins later got another email saying they had closed it !
seems to me customer services DON’T want to help at all . .

Hi @PiperDudley
I am very sorry the call ended when connected to a guide. We have no account access on the community to get this looked into and resolved for you.
Please try calling us again when you get the chance and ask the guide to call back on the preferred number in case the call drops, or you can open a new complaint using the Make a Complaint form.
I hope this is sorted soon for you.
Leanne.
