Replacement sim requested several times, Customer Services waste of time

[bobm01]

Over the past several months, I’ve requested a replacement SIM 4 times, as my current one will not connect to 5G (I’ve checked my sim in my wife’s iPhone and the sim will it connect to 5G. But my wife’s SIM in my iPhone will connect, so I know it’s not 5he phone). The first 2 requests the agents told me to get in touch with Apple, even though I explained that I had already proved it is a SIM issue. Each time I’ve requested I was told that a replacement had been ordered and on the first 3 occasions I received an email stating this, on the last occasion, I didn’t even get an email and they was reluctant to send me one as I had already requested 3 already. I’ve pointed out that on each occasion I have not received a SIM and  being forced to use a faulty SIM. I even offered to pay for postage so it can be tracked, but was told I could not do that.

So can anybody help here to actually get me a replacement SIM or should I just find another provider, where their Customer Services are actually there to help the customers

Replacing the SIM will not help. To get 5G you either have to take out a new contract or wait until you are moved off EE and onto Vodafone. Most likely your wife is in one of those categories 

Whatever is written on the packet all SIM cards with a purple band are capable of 5G

I’m already on a 5G contract, like I explained in my post when I swop the SIMs in my and wife’s phone, she then can’t connect to 5G (with my SIM) but I then can connect to 5G with her SIM in my iPhone

Hi Bovm01,

Please do not multi post. As this can take away us responding to other customers, I can see you have posted on another thread and have been messaging with our team.

Posting personal information in the open public forum leaves you open to hacking.

No doubt a mod will remove it before any harm is done

Thanks for coming back to me and confirming your account details @bobm01.

There seems to have been an error with the system that has stopped the update that I sent being shown.

I arranged for a new sim card to be sent out to you on Saturday and it should be with you in the next 2 to 3 working days.

Please let us know how it goes once you have received the new sim card.

Regards,
