I use pay as you go and bought a mobile data add on but it’s not working.
Bought before and they worked fine, so what’s changed as now won’t work.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Thanks, I was wondering if I have a 3G sim, and as 3G is getting faced out I now need a 4G sim to use mobile data.
Anyone had the same problem?

Hello @Angiesue.
Is your SIM an EE pay as you go SIM?
Does your phone show as connected to 4G?

Hi
it doesn’t show 3G or 4G at the top of my phone. My 30 days to use my data is running out and I haven’t been able to use any yet.

Thanks for confirming @Angiesue.
The SIM will connect to 4G.
Are you able to make calls and texts OK?
Could you confirm if you are in the UK?

You have your full 5 GB data remaining but are not using it. Are you outside the UK?

Yes I can make calls and message and am in the uk.
i just text ADD DATA to 150 and got the following message I am not on a plan just pay as you and don’t want a plan.
EE Packs are not available on your current 3GEE plan. To upgrade to a 4GEE Pack you will need a new 4G sim and 4GEE Price Plan. If you're interested please visit your local EE store or dial 150 from your phone to discuss your options.

- Internet package in Pay as you go
- Keeping the PAYG sim active while not making calls or sending texts in Pay as you go
- DPD Pin Code - Incorrect Mobile Number in Orders
- Yesterday onwards my sim not working no I can’t use my mobile I can’t connect in EE app and website
- App update. When will the app be working again? I need to gift data asap in EE app and website
