How long after a SIM swap until data works?

Most EE SIM swaps provision data within 15–30 minutes. If data has not worked after an hour, there may be an account provisioning issue — contact EE customer service with your new SIM's ICCID number (printed on the SIM card packaging).

Why does my new SIM have signal but no data?

Signal (voice registration) is provisioned faster than data on most networks. Data requires additional APN provisioning. Check your APN settings match the correct values for your carrier and wait up to 30 minutes after SIM activation.

Will my old data allowance transfer to a new SIM?

Yes — when you replace a SIM within the same carrier, your account (including remaining data allowance, plan, and phone number) stays the same. The new SIM is simply the physical carrier for the same account.
