Awful customer service and misleading website

Had an appointment for battery services for my iPhone (waiting for 1 week). When I arrived to the branch, they simply said we cannot change the battery because you have bought the phone from Amazon!!! This is while these kind of ridiculous regulations is not mentioned in their website!!

Hotspot not working abroad, no responsibility from EE at all!!

I have recently been to Portugal and tried to hotspot my Uk data from my phone to the other phone in my contract. It did not work as EE explained it would abroad, in an EU country. During this same trip, I tried to Hotspot from my phone to other phones as well and it did work!

When I got back I called EE to ask about this and try to find a resolution. All that has been explained to me was “it is not EE’s fault”, “it is something to do with the other phone in your monthly package…”

I explained that hotspot used to work abroad between my phone and the other phone in this package when we were on a different Network than EE, but they don’t take any kind of responsibility on the matter.

I also asked if they have some kind of partnership out there for when the phone leaves the Uk, which they do as long as it is an EU country but he said “NO”.

I also noticed that he was impatient and kind of passive aggressive after a while, willing to hurry the call. Do you know why? Because they know my contract with them is 2 years and I can’t just get out of it!

Basically, I can see why they have an average of 2 stars on their reviews.

Had I known this before, I would have NEVER gotten into a contract with EE.

Useless trying to sort out this situation or even trying to check or test the settings on the account to see if everything is in working order. Very poor customer service, I don’t recommend at all.

Let’s see how they are from here on…

We discovered

We discovered, after several months of upgrading our ee broadband account to wireless, that in fact they were taking 2 amounts from our account!

Once discovered the process to recoup the money took too long and was a very negative experience.

We have yet to receive the refund and would advise this is not a well managed site, many employees did not have full access and/or understanding of our account/issues and correspondence was appalling

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

10.10.2025 I have ordered newest IPhone with EE.
I was told by Tracy Hall that the delivery will be in two weeks.
Till today I didn't get the phone despite my two calls to the company, two written emails to Tracy.
When I called them today they couldn't find my order, than we discovered that in their copy of agreement there is different phone then I ordered.
I was trying to make official complaint but I don't even know if it was done.
To sum up...the company is disorganised and they can't find orders.The order is placed 20 days ago and I still don't have it eventhough I was told by Tracy it is going to take two weeks.
The ordered doesn't show the phone I have chosen.
I couldn't even finish my complaint because I was transferred to someone who didn't have any solution in the situation.
More over I was told that I have to place another one so it will take me up to a month!
I am waiting couple of hours for the phone call from Tracy who is responsible for the situation.
EE company doesn't take any accountability for the their actions.
Basically they don't know what they are doing!!!!
Be careful guys!!!!

I need to add 3 hours to my day tomorrow due to your company, I want the back up broadband removed from package and backdated as well, you are in breach of contract and fully into to take this further, I’ve had add more data to my mobile phone data as well.

Arrogant and stupid company

Still having to spend literally hours getting the ee wifi hub to top up. Vesta security check does not work. It just says tick the box to check youre human but there is no box to tick. I dread the thing running out of data. Ive raised this multiple times and they blame it on everything except their own crap web platform. If I see the "something went wrong- its OUR fault" message again i am likely to throw the whole system out the window. I vehemently hate this company. The fact they are perfectly happy delivering a crap service shows how arrogant they are to their core. 1.4 stars and counting...downwards.

Ridiculously high cancellation fees

When we first joined ee we were told over the phone that we could be reimbursed money owed to talk talk when changeing contract - obviously didn't happen. Now being completely fed up of being tied in to their tv service, I am having to pay £167.00 to leave the TV service early, despite returning all the equipment. Have just got NOW TV back a half the price they were offering and ditched Discovery altogether. Needless to say the Apple TV free for 6 months never appeared either. Money grabbing fraudsters. I intend to dump their broadband next year too. Their website and phone guide service are extremely frustrating too. 1 star

EE have mis sold me in their store - it's fraud

I went to EE store with an appointment to migrate my EE account from residential to business. They opened a business account but did not de-activate my residential. EE is taking money from both my business and personal accounts every month for the last 8 months. I have made the complaint formal but after 3 weeks they are unable to help me. I asked for the case to be escalated...they said fine but I will need to wait 11 working days for someone else to call me. Meantime they continue to take money. They have admitted over the phone that this is a case of "mis selling" on thieir part but they are not refunding the money they have fraudulently taken from me. The one lady said they did this in the store because they make more money and staff make money from new acounts - not migrated existing ones. In my view they have committed a fraud.

Delivery times misleading

Ordered a PS5 which was in stock and said 2 to 3 days delivery. Nowhere did it mention anything about processing and dispatch taking as long as they want. Extremely and intentionally misleading. Was sat at 'order placed' for the entire 3 days delivery was expected. So I won't be getting it by the weekend as expected. Cancelled the order and read elsewhere that I can expect to wait over 2 weeks for my refund. Absolute sham of a company/service

Had to pay to leave to switch to a competent provider

Had to pay to leave and switch to another provider because they couldn't/wouldn't fix my fault.

They had routed my connection to another property (told me the devices connected to the hub which weren't mine) so it was showing as 'working' on all automated tests despite having no connection and hub flashing orange. After a week of explaining the same issue over and over, 2 failed engineer visits, (one they cancelled without telling me) and closed complaints with no way to appeal, I have had enough and left.

To add insult to injury, half way though one of the calls to support my phone signal dropped due to another fault with mobile which lasted 24 hours.

Left me with no connection at all and kept asking me to run tests or use camera sharing tech that required an internet connection. Absolute clowns.

Total incompetence.

⭐ 1 Star Wasted 1.5 hours of my time still no resolution

⭐ 1 Star – EE Wasted My Time – Still No Resolution
As a long-standing EE customer with four phones, I’m appalled by today’s experience. I was very clear that I wanted to switch one tariff to a SIM-only plan, yet the advisor didn’t listen, kept trying to upsell, and couldn’t complete a simple contract. After 1.5 hours, nothing was resolved — just a drained phone and a wasted morning. I’ll have to try again tomorrow, as the plan would save me over £30 a month, but the lack of basic competence and customer care is unacceptable.

Moved house in the same exchange area

Moved house in the same exchange area. Contacted EE a couple of weeks before the home move to place my order. They cancelled that order with no valid explanation or contact. Raised another order which failed. Then a further two more and all failed. My flat has an Openreach connection in situ, but I have been without the internet/TV for almost a month now. Broken promise after promise with no explanation. Wasted dozens of hours on the phone to the call centres. No one taking responsibility for progressing my order. Looking at other service providers now, as I refuse to make a 5th order for a "simple" installation. Shocking customer service.

Reporting a scam

Reporting a scam
Tried to help them by reporting a scam call to my mobile, as their website recommends calling them to report the telephone number where the scam call was made.
They decided not to take my report because my husband was physically not next to me (he is the account holder), and therefore they could not confirm the account.
