Hello, I have a pay-as-you-go sim card, and I usually purchase an EE pack that auto-renews each month.
EE stopped auto-renewing my pack, so I went into my account to purchase the pack and start auto-renewing the top-ups again. This was fine until I put in my bank details and couldn't authenticate my bank card.
Once I put in my bank details, it says, "The content is blocked. Contact the site owner to complete your payment."
I have never had issues paying with this card before, but to ensure it wasn't my fault, I tried a different card from a different bank and received the same message.
Could someone please give me some advice? Is this an issue with EE?
I really need to top up my sim, or it's useless, so any advice is welcome. Thank you.

Hi @HW2211
Thanks for coming here.
Have you tried clearing cookies and cache and opening a new web browser?
Have you used this card previously?
Leanne 🙂

I have the exact same issue, the ridiculous thing is I used the same card to top up only in September, so just about four weeks ago. So frustrating, so idiotic!

I am using a non-UK credit card, but I used the same card on 20 September, so exactly one month ago, and it worked just fine. I mean my money's as good as anyone else's despite it being foreign!

Could you try clearing your cache/cookies and trying again please, @alun_o_parsons? Or try using a different device or browser?

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a UK bank card, and I've tried multiple different devices/browsers with no luck.
