@anppy : You should follow How Do I Upgrade from Pay As You Go? to switch from PAYG to contract. Your existing PAYG credit will be carried over as credit towards your future bills. You keep your existing SIM & no. The plan on it is just switched to contract.

Hello @anppy ,

Welcome to the community,

Are you a new customer? If so, I advise you to log out and then go to shop and order it that way..

If already a customer, are you trying to upgrade or just adding a new SIM card?

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.

Hi,

I am already a customer on PAYG who would like to get a new sim or upgrade to specific plan that I have chosen. I am unable to do either as I just get a technical error that I cannot login when trying to access the shop, even though I am logged into the account.

Kind regards
Andrew

When on PAYG you need to be logged out of your PAYG account when you are ordering a contract SIM. They don't mix!

Hi Leanne,

I did and I have been told the plan I want with the discount is only available online. So I cant get the plan without the issue being fixed.

Many Thanks,

Kind regards

Andrew

Hi XRaySpeX,

It would make sense if I wasn't being offered a contract sim with a discount for being an existing customer, asking me to click on the link to get the new sim, while being logged into my PAYG account.

Kind regards
