The final pay monthly bill was settled after i have already landed abroad unfortunately.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Accidentally I have forgotten to use my phone for 2 months and received some messages from EE that my phone has not been active. Tried to send messages / call people from my UK number abroad now but find that all calls are barred. I can use whatsapp on the UK number, so technically I think it's not lost (yet). Found some solution online and rang the free EE phone +44 800 079 8586 but it was also barred. I don't really want to lose my UK number - please help!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks</P> Fri, 19 Mar 2021 18:32:17 GMT Ninjitsu 2021-03-19T18:32:17Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Archived-Posts/Calls-are-barred-from-from-my-phone/m-p/1038346#M292828 <P>Hi Guys,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I changed my phone contract from pay monthly to PAYG 30 days before moving abroad (Asia).

EE PAYG SIMs need 1st activating on EE's home UK network. If it wasn't you can't now use it until you return to UK.</P> Fri, 19 Mar 2021 19:28:32 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Archived-Posts/Calls-are-barred-from-from-my-phone/m-p/1038348#M292829 XRaySpeX 2021-03-19T19:28:32Z
