New sim not linking on account

Dave1010b · ‎21-08-2023

Hi everyone

I have just purchased a 99p SIM card from Argos.

I am new to EE

So went online to www.e.co.uk/start Downloaded app set up new account entered my new sim phone number entered 4 digit code which was sent to that phone number

then asked to link product ,selected (Link EE mobile or sim) entered phone number which sent me another 4 digit code entered that .Then it says EE Mobile account number and link your product ,pressed that and I get another message (confirm you are the account holder) pressed that and for about the 30th time I get a message saying

We’re having trouble linking your products you can try again or come back later when we,ve fixed things

as a new customer I am not very impressed with this please give advice

thank you

Try doing it on the online MyEE not the app.

You do know that the 99p fee you paid Argos is just a nominal charge to them & that your SIM has no credit or pack.

Hi,

I have the same problem.

I got new PAYG SIM card, wanted to register in the app on my phone and through the website on my PC. The page tells me to link my device, but after submitting 4 digit code I received on my phone, it asks, if I pay my bills, after confirming, I have the exact same response: "We're having trouble linking your products". Nothing works, changing browsers and switching SIM card to different phones didn't help either.

What is going on? I can't check my balance, I can't make a call, I can't do anything, until I link my phone number, and it's impossible to do that. Can someone from EE help out, please?

Hi. Have same issue for last 2 days. Did you find solution?

Yautja · ‎04-09-2023

Hi. Same issue there. Any update on this please? Is problem solved?

Rude_Wredne · ‎04-09-2023

Hi!
Partially yes, I had to call customer support and they did most of the job. I’d suggest giving them a call yourself, there seems to be some sort of system failure and it took some time, before mine worked.

Fingers crossed 😊

Great. Thank you for update. This giving me some hope 😁
