1st stop Norway, activated the SIM today in an old phone I brought for that single purpose (hot-spot), got data all fine, but when attempting to activate the hot-spot, it tells me "Invalid SIM'

Bought this SIM specifically to use as a mobile hot-spot while traveling in Europe for all my devices (as is clearly stated in the product description)

Called EE Mobile customer support, and the agent tells me that re-sellers like Amazon and others often have batches of old SIM cards, and for the particular card I got, the mobile hot-spot option is not available
