Activating was painless and really simple, Iām very impressed!
One little bug? I noticed is I get āZevvle user #ā without a number at the top of my account page but maybe Iām being impatient waiting for it to give me a number?

Ah, good to know!
Another thing is I currently have no internet access on it; does it need a different APN or is it just waiting for it to activate properly?

Hi Rosie, are you using an iPhone? Mine just worked.
When playing around in a few random devices I have lying around (as you do), I did sometimes have to set the APN, mainly on devices pre-4G that still think itās a āT-Mobile SIMā. The generic āeverywhereā APN seemed to work for me. Havenāt actually tried it in an Android device yet but some weird and wonderful other devices!
Iām sure @nick will us know if we should be using a different one.
Could be that things arenāt quite activated yet.
Hmm, your number is set ā if you hard close & open the app again it should update. Iām pushing an update today and will make that happen automatically.
Itās known to take a few moments (I had to reset network settings before it updated) ā do check the APN though, it should be āeverywhereā if it hasnāt set automatically (let me know if not). Also, weāre having some trouble with the network name appearing (āZevvleā instead of āEEā) ā EE are on the case and Iāll keep you posted.

Mine says EE too!
I was getting these speeds on data
But after giving it an hour Iām now getting this 
These speeds are amazing ā¦ Itās faster download than my home fibre connection
On smarty I get only about 8 down 1 up!

Thatās EEās network for you - thatās why it normally costs more

That upload is a bit concerning. Canāt wait to get mine working and do some tests here too.
Edit: on Fast.com I am getting 20/20Mbps on 2 bars of 4G - thatās good enough for me!
Iām getting pretty good speeds, in fact the upload is better on Zevvle than by ānativeā 4GEE Max plan:
Zevvle
4GEE Max

Also received mine Tuesday! Took a good 10-15 minutes before I got a proper signal but after that everything was 
A slightly weird thing I noticed was (my main sim is direct EE) on my main EE SIM my status bar shows 4G, but when staying in exactly the same location + switching to Zevvle my bar is āHā.
Would this just be because this was shortly after activation? 
Loving the very precise SMS + Data graphs/logs in the app.
Odd, I was finding I got 4G with both my Plusnet and Zevvle sims in the same phone.
Maybe you are in an area which doesnāt have one of the frequencies that EE have which isnāt available to MVNOs, or not enough time yet?

I have my (currently) āmainā SIM on ānativeā EE in my iPhone X (contract ends in December) and the Zevvle SIM with my old number that I donāt actively use but still keep around (had it since I was 18) in my iPhone SE and both get the same signal and āgenerationā of Data.
Only thing Iāve noticed is lack of VoLTE but my EE SIM also isnāt doing it properly at the moment either. Sheffield is in the next wave of 5G so theyāve been fannying about on the masts for weeks so service has been spotty in general.
Could it be that EE was doing the same thing as AT&T in the US with their ā5GEā and was using carrier profiles to tell the phone to display HSDPA (3G+) as 4G, something thatās not active on the Zevvle SIM. You could maybe do some speed tests and check whether the ā4Gā is faster than HSDPA. Thatāll tell you if itās real 4G or just rebranded HSDPA.
EE definitely donāt do that - itās always been that 4G is 4G and LTE-A is 4G+
I have just inserted my second sim into a GPS tracker. I can communicate with it and it with me via SMS. However the trackerās website cannot see the tracker. The user manual suggests a possible problem with the APN.
So, how do I determine the APN?
Blooming marvellous - the tracker has now shown itself to the internet. Thanks

Reminds me. I have one I need to set up.
Which Tracker are you using?
