I am using Poco X3 Pro Dual SIM mobile. I have an existing Vodafone SIM and the network signal is very low in my home. I am using wi-fi calling to help. I would like to try EE to see whether it is any better and have received a SIM card and inserted it. My signal strength indicators at the top of the screen now both show the same strength (low) and are both labelled 'Vo Wifi'. The 'SIM cards & mobile networks' settings on the phone show the two cards, correctly idebtified, and I have set the EE card as the default SIM. There is no ''Access point names' menu option when you select the EE card so you can't check that the APN settings have been set up for it. I didn't want to register as a PAYG customer as, if the signal is better, I would cancel my Vodafone and sign up for the monthly EE SIM contract. However as I hadn't been able to test the signal strength I created a new PAYG account with the intention of paying £10 to see if this enabled me to complete the test. However I got the dreaded 'Unable to connect to device' message 'Try later'. I am therefore stuck!

Manually search Network Ops & select EE. This should set up EE's APN.

@audiophile : Try using Fast Top Up online with a UK bank card. You don't need to login or register anything. All you need is your mobile no. & it doesn't remember your card details.
