Rapid EE

My contact is unlimited and all was great until i upgraded with half price for a few months and full speed internet, since I upgraded my reception has been utter trash in the same places I’ve been going. I just rang 150 to speak to someone and this new EE Rapid test was in effect cutting off my call and sending me a link. As my internet (which is why I was ringing in the first place) was that bad it wouldn’t open the call link, so now what??? This new way left me with no options whatsoever of speaking to EE as you need internet working. I drove half a mile away where I was able to open a link only to be met with the button edition of the automated message options, i then found the call option THAT THEN RANG 150 ANYWAY **bleep**!! This actually  rang as it would normally, what a total useless idea apart from cost cutting, so to speak to someone you now dial 150, get sent a link for the internet online and then you can dial 150 again, so if you’ve no internet then you’re screwed. I still never got my question sorted, it’s like I’ve been put on slow Internet while I’m in my half price renewal period.

What options on the IVR are you selecting, that forces you to receive an SMS link? I'd have thought there's an option to ignore that or say "no thanks".

On your underlying issue, do other EE users have problems in the same locations you do? If your phone is having data problems in multiple locations, the device itself could be at fault.

@steelfix   When you call just select option 2 you selected option 1 so that’s why you got this. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Dial 150 the  options 1 like it asks if you want ti speak to someone, it then sends a link via text and ends the call after saying this is our new rapid call system, it then give online options of the audio via phone, the bottom one is call, it the  dials 150 anyway.

I selected option 1 as I wanted to speak to someone’s over my internet, the rest of the options where automated and also sent out links via text and ended my call.

Hello @steelfix

Please select option two, this will then take you to an automated system which will direct you to the relevant team depending on your query.
