Help with your account
Nominate a friend or family member to act as an authorised user to look after your account. All you need to do is set a password, and they'll be able to access your details securely.
Supporting vulnerability
We're committed to treating all our customers fairly and with respect, including those who are in vulnerable situations, whether it be long-term or on a temporary basis, because of age, a physical or learning disability or difficulty in communicating. We can help you find the right level of help and the most appropriate products and services to suit your needs.

Free directory enquiries
A free directory enquiries service (195) is available to blind and other disabled customers who find it difficult to use a phone book. It's a very straightforward service: call 195 from your EE phone to register.
Operator-connected calls
If you use our 195 service to get a phone number the operator can also connect any standard call for you for free.
Bills, etc
Don't worry if you have difficulty reading your bill – we can provide you with a choice of Braille or large print versions on request. You can also get all of our other EE literature in a choice of the following formats on request:
- standard paper bill
- Braille
- Large print
- Audio tape
- Call customer services on 150 from your EE phone, or 07953 966 250 from any other phone or +447953 966 250 from abroad

Priority Fault Repair Service
We know how important your mobile is when you rely on it for health or mobility reasons. With our Priority Fault Repair Service we try to get your phone back to you within seven days - rather than 14 for our standard service - if your phone is in warranty and develops a fault.
This service is for customers who have an illness or disability and who are reliant on their mobile to keep in touch with carers and health professionals. To help us to see if you qualify for this service, register your disability on our confidential form
Power of attorney and legal POA
You should contact customer services for support.
emergencySMS

- when you've read these, reply by sending 'yes' in a text to 999
