    Some networks manage this by sending out an inactive SIM, which you then activate once the cust has received it. It looks as though either EE or the agent didn't use this.

    And you have proof of this that would stand up in court?

    If not, take the money.

    Monthly charge has nothing to do with it. They guaranteed delivery and no loss of service

    Are you claiming someone actually said the words 'we guarantee it will be there Monday'? Or did someone actually say 'it should be there Monday'?

    I was told that because he is self employed and sole trader that the normal contract would be sufficient

    Who told you that? And sufficient for what exactly?

    Wait a minute.

    YOU took out a contract and then got them to transfer YOUR HUSBAND'S PAYG number to your new contract?

    Did your husband know that you were grabbing his number ?
    Yes of course he knew, he was there when i was on the phone to them and spoke to them himself

    Nobody in a call centre can ever be 100% certain about delivery. Just as you can't be yourself when posting something . They'll have given you the best info to hand. If you needed a new SIM with the same number they can't have the same number on two active SIMs simultaneously.
    With our switch the contract SIM had a different number which showed on the phone but when I phoned the old number it rang the phone. It took a few hours for the phone to actually show the old number.

    This has to be a wind-up. Why on earth would EE up their offer from £30 to £50 because a sim didn't turn up in the post. Who has ever had a PAYG sim stop working so suddenly when the new sim hasn't even turned up?

    Apart from the fact that there would be no SLA etc. No compensation for consequential loss.

    In fact as it is a standard consumer contract you have very little recourse for areas that a business would need cover.
