EE Guides, formerly known as Home Tech Experts, are specialists in:
- BT devices
- TV
- WiFi technology
- online security
If you’re having a BT technical issue or there’s a fault in your service, EE Guides can help with a home or contactless visit.
For speedy resolution, first check out our Online troubleshooter. This will solve most straightforward problems.
If this doesn’t solve your broadband or WiFi problem, and we believe the fault is within your home, then we’ll send an EE Guide to get it resolved in a 2 hour slot to suit you, at no extra cost.
Yes. If you have Halo an EE Guide set up visit is included in your service. When you place your order you can select an appointment in a 2 hour slot 7 days a week.

You can book your appointment for a 2 hour slot that works for you, 7 days a week. The EE Guide will arrive during the 2 hour window.
How long the visit takes will depend on the issue. A typical visit takes 30 to 45 minutes, but it could be more or less depending on what work needs doing.
After your appointment, the EE Guide will call to check everything’s working fine. This will be later on the same day as your appointment. They can answer any other questions you have or give further advice then.
If you have Halo, you’ll get an EE Guide Check included every year to make sure your WiFi connection and TV are optimised to give you the best possible experience.
If you have Halo, as part of your service, you will be offered a yearly check-up of your BT home tech. Your EE Guide will help with things like:·
- Locating your Smart Hub to get the strongest WiFi signal
- Setting up the My BT app and running a connection speed test
- Identifying any coverage black spots and advising on the best solutions
- Reviewing BT security services to make sure your devices are protected online
- Managing your family’s screen time and keeping your kids safe online
You can change or cancel your appointment any time before our guide arrives.
Simply visit www.bt.com and select “Track your order”, hover over “MyBT” and follow the on-screen instructions to amend or cancel your appointment.
Or call us on 0330 123 4150 and we'll help you reschedule. We're open every day from 9am to 6pm.
On the day of your appointment your EE Guide will call you shortly before your booking to check it's still convenient. If you need to, you can change the time during this call, or contact us on the number above.
Ideally yes, because sometimes in order to fix whatever issue you're having our guide will need your permission to do the necessary task.
If you can't be there, you'll need someone who is over 18 and able to make decisions on your behalf to be home. If that isn't possible, please change your appointment to another time.
Yes. And if your problem is with WiFi, we’ll make sure you stay connected in the meantime.
If you’re a BT mobile customer, we’ll give you unlimited mobile data.
If you have an EE mobile, we’ll give you an extra 50GB of data.
And for everyone else, we’ll send a 4G Mini Hub to get you back online until it’s safe for us to fix the problem in person.
