New SIM Activation

[BPD21]

Hello

I lost my SIM card to have ordered another one (via the helpline).

The online description says we need to activate online using the below link. However, when I click on this (or the Activate SIM button on the app), it goes to a blank web page (I.e. just the links at the bottom of website etc with no substance).

https://ee.co.uk/plans-subscriptions/mobile/activate-sim

Restarting the phone has been tried.

The phone shows the bars for the network, but an incorrect number preview (on the phone sim settings) and won't let me call or text. So also cannot test what number it actually is.

Please resolve so I can use my phone.

Thanks, @iJeffers 

Have you followed the exact steps I listed in my last post? 

I did it via desktop and it gave me the option to select my number, and begin the process to swap the SIM.

@Peter_W This is what I get:

Clicking check settings/see what's in your plan gives the same blank page.

[Peter_W]

@iJeffers Can you please select Manage > Mobile & SIMs?

It should then show your plan details, and if you scroll further down, the SIM activation option falls under 'Phones and Devices'.

@Peter_W Same issue - loads the same blank page. Clicking Replace SIM takes me to the ID verification page, Activate SIM still shows nothing but the header/footer.

Thanks, @iJeffers - we've been doing a bit of testing on this, and it seems to be working intermittently at our end, but I can still feed this back. 

When logged in it directs to the correct page, or when logged out it redirects to the login screen.

What browser and operating system are you using, and is this a BT / EE broadband connection, or something different?

@Peter_W On desktop, using Firefox/Chrome/Edge on Windows 11 using Fibrus for broadband provider.

Same issue on mobile using Chrome on Android 17 using wifi on Fibrus or 4G/5G on EE.

Thanks, I'll feed this back!

In the meantime, if you give our team a call, they'll be able to help sort the activation for you at our end.

Good afternoon, guys.

We've been monitoring this over the last few days, and both of the web pages linked here are now working reliably at our end. 

If anyone on this thread can give it another try and let us know how things are looking, that would be great.

@Peter_W I've tested on my mobile and the page loaded straight away today which is further than id previously got but didn't go any further as I've got the SIM transferred already.

Thanks for that!

HI @iJeffers 

That's great news. Thanks for taking the time to confirm the page is working for you now.

We're glad you have already got your SIM transferred, too
