am unable to change my SIM pack. I'm using a pay-as-you-go SIM that I bought from EE at the airport. Despite sending "PACK10" followed by "YES" via SMS, I did not receive a response. I also tried to change it through the website, but I keep getting the error message: "Sorry, we were unable to complete your request right now. Please try again later."
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Hi, so I resolved this issue. I called the EE service, and the receiver was really nice; she explained that because I'm on the old plan there were some error with the system. So she switched my old outdated plan to a new one and it's all resolved now.

Where are you?
What does texting AL to 150 from your no. fully report verbatim (it is free)?

I'm in Thailand right now, but I have to travel to UK soon. Not sure what you mean by texting AL to 150?

Hey @pann_05, welcome to the EE Community!
When was it you purchased your SIM, and was this at an airport in the UK or one in Thailand?
To follow on from what @XRaySpeX mentioned, sending a text with AL to 150 will let you know how much credit you have, along with your pack allowances if you have one active.

Hi @pann_05
Did you use the SIM in the UK. EE Sims need to be activated in the UK.
If you did activate and use the SIM in the UK when did you last make a chargeable call or text.
Thanks

I used the same SIM for a year while I was a first-year student. The last time I used it was around three months ago when I went back for summer break. There are still money in the account though.
