My regular iPhone has just failed. Can I use my SIM card in an old handset that EE supplied until I obtain a replacement smart phone?

Hi. If your old SIM was on ee then you need what that call a triangle! It's kinda weird.,..you need to port it to another network on PAYG then a few days after port it back to EE. It's crazy how ee don't allow ee to go to EE againg PAYG then back to EE for a contract. Vodafone is the best for this....you can even not pay the bill and they can cut you off and they still sekdnyou a PAYG SIM card with that number you had. 

@Questman , the OP just wanted to know if he can use his SIM card in an old phone until he gets a replacement phone, he is not changing anything, if the SIM card is old and he needs a replacement SIM card, then that can be replaced, not sure why you have written what you have, as that has nothing to do with the OP’s question, and if he is with another network, then he would need to make sure that the phone is unlocked, but he will find out once he puts his sim card in the phone.

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.
