SIM Question

To23 — Sat, 22 Mar 2025 22:11:27 GMT

Hello, I bought an 8GB SIM card plus 500 minutes and unlimited texts. So there's no subscription, no out-of-bundle charges or other fees?

Hello, I would like some information please. How long can the EE SIM card be used for? Does it expire after one year?

On contract: As long as you keep paying on time for it & don't cancel it.
On PAYG: As long as you make a chargeable action within every 179 days.

@To23 : There'll be no further charges unless you make calls & text to non-UK nos, send MMS or call or text Premium & Service nos.

Thanks, but if I call non-UK numbers or send messages off-WiFi, will the charges be taken from the £10? Once used, if I continue, will there be a charge or will it be blocked at zero?

why some sites don't work with this sim?

What you pay for WiFi is up to your WiFi provider. It's nowt to do with EE.

unlimited?

The £10 you paid for this SIM has already been spent. You no longer have it to spend. Any charges for out-of-allowance actions, like I listed, will be taken from any credit you top it up with & if you have none you won't be able to make those out-of-allowance actions.

What's unlimited? Only texts.

So if I understand correctly. If I go over my bundle, it will be taken from the £10. If I continue to go over my bundle, the call abroad will not work because I will have spent the £10. I can use the Wi-Fi for free even if my SIM is blocked or without a bundle, etc.

You don't have the £10! You've already spent it buying the pack on the SIM.

OK so out of bundle calls won't work? Will wifi still work with or without sim or is it blocked?

@To23 WiFi has nothing to do with the EE sim. WiFi is your connection to a router not the cellular network. If you mean can you still use cellular data the answer will depend if you still have a data allowance but if the pack has expired and you’ve not renewed the pack then no you can not use cellular data.
You can however still use WiFi.

Thank you

no out-of-bundle charges possible in my case? If I call abroad, it won't work? But no risk of being billed? In any case

@To23

As @XRaySpeX mentioned, when a PayG SIM hasn't been used your for any chargeable activity for 179 days then the account will go into hibernation and any credit will be removed.
After a further 90 days the service will be permanently cancelled and cannot be reactivated.

You can find out more on our Pay as you Go hibernation page

@To23

What type of sites are you trying to access?

Thank you, the adultefolio site is not working. So if I send one message per year, for example, will that keep the account? How can I reactivate it if necessary? Will I be notified?

I don't understand about the out-of-package charge, is it not possible to have any?
