Nope, I have tried on different devices and browsers and it doesn't work, not working for all online customers not some unfortunately.

Good morning @Debbie1982

What is happening when you are trying to process your upgrade? Are you seeing error messages?

Speak soon, 

Katie

I have checked the website coding for the upgrade button and there is no link attached to this graphic. I’m pretty sure that ee are aware of this.

Thanks.

It's fascinating to me that it's been over a year since this post was made and I am having the exact same issue.

My contract is ending on the 26th and it seems (according to the responses on this form), I will need to call 150 to either upgrade or hard-cancel before entering the rolling contract.

I've been waiting for the site to work for over a week.

User experience should be:

  1. User clicks on "start upgrade" button
  2. User sees list of phones/plans to choose from
  3. User clicks on a phone/plan they click
  4. User gets new phone ordered

Instead, for me and others (for over a year it seems), it is:

  1. User clicks on upgrade button
  2. User gets taken to https://ee.co.uk/what-do-you-want-to-do-today
    1. Message at the top that says "Unfortunately, we couldn't log you in, but you can still buy or upgrade - just choose what you want to do."
    2. I am logged in; your upgrade page seems to have shat the bed
  3. User clicks on "See upgrade options" under the "Shop for an upgrade" tile
  4. User gets taken to https://ee.co.uk/mobile/upgrade
  5. User clicks on "View all upgrade plans" on the "Phones" tile
  6. User gets taken back to https://ee.co.uk/what-do-you-want-to-do-today
  7. And now the user is stuck in a loop of not-working rubbish.

Telling someone to call 150 for over a year isn't necessarily helpful.

People want to see their options of phones and plans, not have them read out to them over the phone. Not to mention, needing to hand over details over the phone - in fairness, this might interest someone over the age of 60.

Yes, I have tried different browsers, icognito mode, clearing cache, different internet networks, mobile app, PC, etc. All of them shat the bed.

Looks like this issue has been going on since 2022 and nothing has been done 😄 

Having the same issue myself. 

Or fix the website? As it seems painfully clear that for over a year now the issue is the set-up of the website and not something specific to an individual person/account.

You are losing customers to this issue, so I advise you fix the underlying cause.

still not solved.  Must be some form of marketing ploy
