Unable to link product

My contract recently came to an end and I asked to switch to a pay-as-you-go account in order to keep my number, rather than stay on a rolling monthly. I am currently living in France and want to keep my UK number.

I'm having issues linking my product on the MyEE page. I have tried different browsers on my laptop too. It sends me a pin, I confirm the pin and that I am the bill payer and then I receive a message to say EE are having trouble linking my product. I can see from other posts on the community forum that trying to activate a new sim outside of the UK doesn't work. Is this also the case for me, even though I've had this number for years and it's not technically a new sim? I can't call or text 150 for support. The number is barred and texts aren't being delivered. I also don't have the option for chat support. Is there another way I can get some support? I've been able to access support here in France, just a few weeks ago, so it's nothing to do with my location.

I need to remain in France while my visa is processed. I don't know when I'll next be in the UK. 

Any advice is appreciated!

@fdlenn  You can not change from a contract to a PAYG outside the UK. You have to be connected to the EE network for this to happen. .  Live chat is only available to contract customers. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

I’ve got the same problem, I started of with a pay as you go switched the a contract the other day and tried linking my product and it says the exact same thing. If you find a way around this please let me know 🙂

Hi @Filip06,

Welcome to the EE Community

If you are unable to link and manage your new contract online I would recommend giving our team a call on 150 from your EE mobile as there may be something stopping you linking it up which they will be able to help resolve.
