2 SIM cards on one account - how does that work with Google Storage accounts

[UBF]

Morning All,

Finally got EE One registered and 2 SIM cards on the way ..... I know you can manage SIM settings independently  but not sure how well that process works for addons that require a different email address . Can i set Google 2TB storage up for 2 people under the same account or is it best to register another EE account and link one of the SIM cards to that?

Or can you link both SIM accounts to the main EE account and still register that Google storage to a different email address? Don't want to go through setting this up, get it wrong and then have to try and unpick it later - haven't had good experiences with that 🙂

Hoping someone has done this and can answer ......

Hi @UBF,

Thanks for visiting the EE Community

If both SIMS are on the same billing account, then when you link the account up to your EEID for use on the app/website they will both automatically be managed under that one e-mail address. 

If you have a plan that includes Google One Premium 2TB, once you have the SIM you head to ee.co.uk/googleone and enter the mobile number that has it included and just follow the verification steps, then you login to the Google Account you want to activate the Google One plan on. 

So you can activate the Google One plan on any e-mail address, doesn't have to be the same one you are using for your EEID. Our help page has some additional information you may find useful.

Cheers for that -which answers my question. I can link via mobile number and then link it to my existing Google account. All i need to do is downgrade that to the standard Google data package before linking the new 2Tb one - i don't need to be paying for 100Gb at £1.50 p/m if i've got a 2Tb one attached 🙂

Which essentially means i don't need two EE accounts, i can manage it all from just the current one.
