@Howaida04 : You'll need to phone CS to top-up with a non-UK card.

Hi @Howaida04,

Was your SIM activated in the UK before you went abroad?

Had you used that PAYG SIM for making calls or texts in UK before going abroad? To be used abroad 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.
