They were going by the T&amp;C's you agreed to when you took out PAYG whereby your no. is deactivated after a longish period of inactivity. Most, if not all, providers have the same policy due to the scarcity of mobile nos.</P> Fri, 19 Jul 2024 19:37:31 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Pay-as-you-go/Re-Port-My-Existing-Number-to-New-EE-Pay-As-Go-Sim/m-p/1407836#M66774 XRaySpeX 2024-07-19T19:37:31Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Pay-as-you-go/Re-Port-My-Existing-Number-to-New-EE-Pay-As-Go-Sim/m-p/1408453#M66775 STOLE because I was using that number daily. I was using it up until it suddenly stopped working for me and when I called them. I DIALLED MY OWN MUMBER and some random person picked up that is how I found out it was stolen.<BR /><BR />⁣Get BlueMail for Android ​ Sun, 21 Jul 2024 20:00:29 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Pay-as-you-go/Re-Port-My-Existing-Number-to-New-EE-Pay-As-Go-Sim/m-p/1408453#M66775 Jack338 2024-07-21T20:00:29Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Pay-as-you-go/Re-Port-My-Existing-Number-to-New-EE-Pay-As-Go-Sim/m-p/1408459#M66776 <BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1636996">@Jack338</a>&nbsp;wrote:<BR />I was using that number daily.

So I lost my number because EE messed up and when I called to fix issue they were useless.<BR /><BR />⁣Get BlueMail for Android ​ Mon, 22 Jul 2024 11:26:29 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Pay-as-you-go/Re-Port-My-Existing-Number-to-New-EE-Pay-As-Go-Sim/m-p/1408615#M66806 Jack338 2024-07-22T11:26:29Z
