Hi, I’m currently in trouble. My EE number was used to register for an app some 5/6 years ago. Unfortunately, I have since left the UK and have now been prompted by the app to input a code sent via SMS to my old EE number. I called the old number which went to my voicemail.
I am only able to access my online EE account
Please what can I do?

@Carli_a Unless you have that SIM there not much you can do except request a replacement SIM card by calling customer service and then that sim will be delivered to your UK address and someone will then have to activate that sim in the UK and then post it to you. EE do not post overseas.
Your best bet is to contact the developer of that app and have your phone number/account reset so you can use a different number.

- E-sim not downloading in SIM cards & Porting
- Still waiting for replacement SIM – can't access number or request PAC in SIM cards & Porting
- Unable to receive calls abroad but can send and receive texts in Roaming
- suspicious link in text from EEMS in Mobile Services
- Cannot receive SMS in Mobile Services
