EE prepaid sim topup or buy another?

Hi everone👋👋, I bought a prepaid data sim last year and it worked out much better than a monthly payment plan for me as I only use it in my mobile router for my caravan. It's time again to venture out but I need to know if it would be better for me to topup the existing sim or buy another prepaid 120gb 12 month for app £48 per year please? In my mind I am thinking that to topup with 120gb would be very expensive🤔 Many thanks

Welcome back to the Community, @Steve1737.

One thing just to be aware of first of all, can you remember when it was you last used this SIM?

If you've not used it for a while, it may have been placed into hibernation and need reactivating.

Depending on how often you use this, a 12 month option may be better, as a majority of our pay as you go plans are on a 30 day basis.

@Steve1737 : Visit http://add-on.ee.co.uk/purchase from a device connected to your mobile router by WiFi to see what data add-ons are available on the existing SIM.
