Hi all, new to EE and having some problems. I bought a Sim only on a contract to use in a 4G LTE tp-link to get Wi-Fi in my caravan, i only have access to 1 phone and when it asks for the EE number to send a confirmation code to obviously i can't access it because the sim is in the TP-link and not in a phone, very frustrating to be honest, my nearest EE shop is an 80 mile round trip and there is no bus service as i live in the middle of The Lake District, i tried LIVE CHAT and the guy ensured me he had turned off CONTENT BLOCKED but i still can't access Discord or Reddit and it's blocking some of my WhatsApp txt's too which i need for work.......any ideas guys, cheers.

Ah yeah i see that, cheers. So now I get can't link because some of the details don't match, the DOB is wrong in my APP PROFILE which is different to my account, great, I can't be doing an 80 mile round trip to get to an EE shop to change my details in person and i don't have a credit card to do it over the phone, why make things so difficult, cheers anyway XRaySpeX, your help was much appreciated.
