Frequently asked questions

What is SIM only?

With SIM only plans you provide the phone, we provide the network. That means you get all the good bits from being an EE customer but pay less than you would for a pay monthly handset plan. Our SIMs are flexible, opt for a 12 or 24 month contract.

How do I get a SIM card?

You’ll receive a SIM card once you’ve purchased a pay monthly or pay as you go SIM plan. Your SIM card will arrive in the post. As soon as it arrives you can pop it into your device, and get going straight away.

How do I use my 5G SIM?

You’ll need to be in an area with 5G coverage to get 5G speeds. You can check if there’s 5G in the places you visit with our coverage checker.

You’ll also need a 5G device to connect to our 5G network and to make the most of 5G speeds. Shop our range of 5G phones.

What do I need to switch to an EE SIM only plan?

All you need is your phone or tablet – we’ll do the rest. Our SIMs are designed to fit any device, just pop out the size to fit yours.

How do I keep my number if I move to another tariff or plan?

If you’re moving to EE from another network, don’t worry – there’s a simple process all network providers follow to make things easy for everyone.

Call your old network to say you’re leaving and they’ll give you a special code called a Port Authorisation Code (PAC) that you’ll need to give us when you receive your new EE SIM through the post or in store.

Am I able to upgrade to a handset plan?

If you’re on a pay monthly SIM plan and have been with EE for 6 months you can upgrade just three months into your contract – fees may apply for early upgrades.

You may not be eligible to upgrade at this time for a number of reasons, such as there may be an outstanding balance on your account.

How long will it take for my SIM to arrive?

Once you’ve placed your order we’ll post your SIM directly to you by second class mail. Allow 2-3 days for delivery.

Will the SIM fit my phone?

Yes - our multi-SIMs are designed to fit any device. Just pop out the size to fit yours.

Can I keep my number if I get a SIM only deal?

Yes, you certainly can. If you're new to EE and want to keep your number, you'll need to request a PAC code from your old provider. It’s easy to get this code, just text 'PAC' to 65075 (from the number you want to keep). Texts are free, and you'll receive your code straight away. You can enter this code when prompted at checkout, or alternatively wait until your SIM arrives and follow the steps on our help page.
