Registered email address

[Womble]

Hi, I have just bought and registered 2 payg sims for my children. When I registered I had to use different email addresses but I'd like to be able to manage both sims from the same account/email address. I have done an online chat but the agent said it wasn't possible (they even said that if you were a business with 100 numbers each one would need to be registered with a unique email address which I just can't believe.

Any help on this please? I've just come from Vodafone where I can have multiple sims on the same account and with a single bill so I really confused by this policy

In my case ,I have two SIM monthly paid contracts for 24 months. I was able to get account access through mobile number and password.After upgrade at three,I lost access and had to re register.I gave them two e mail IDs to connect each sim with each e mail ID. Today I am in a situation,both e mail take me to same sim account whereas second sim is inaccessible. I had number of chats and visited Three store but till now no body could help me.Noe three is asking third E mail ID to link to second SIM.  So much improvement !!!!

Hi @Pipalia,

We'd like to take a closer look into this. I'm not aware of any reason why a 3rd email would be necessary to manage 2 numbers. I've sent you a PM to get you in touch with an escalated support team that will be happy to check this out.

Hi @Womble,

Currently each number/account does need a unique email address. I am regularly passing on feedback from the community that many customers would prefer to have access under one account though.

Thanks,

3 have just taken a massive step backwards with their latest system upgrade and I struggle to keep a straight face when I type upgrade. The app appears to be the work of a 10 year old. Also, some bright spark decided it would be a great idea if each phone number had to be linked to a different email address. Why? No idea and no one has come up with a good reason why. I understand that each account needs a unique identifier but the account already has one. Yes, you guessed correctly it's the phone number.

All we can do is wait for the next upgrade requiring re-registration or hope the post merger Vodafone's system is the one we end up using.
